🌱 How to Care for Pink Rain Lily to Prevent Grey Mould?
💧 How to Water
Let the top inch of soil dry before watering again; avoid standing water, which quickly rots the bulbs. A deep watering after a dry spell often triggers a fresh flush of flowers.
☀️ Lighting
Provide full sun for the best flowering, though the plant tolerates partial shade. In hot climates, afternoon shade helps prevent leaf scorch.
🪴 Ideal Soil
Use loose, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter; amend heavy clay with sand or compost. A slightly acidic to neutral pH (6-7) is ideal.
