The plant prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in soil that retains some moisture without becoming waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 is ideal. Fertilize in the spring and mid-summer to promote healthy growth and flowering. Avoid over-fertilizing as it can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.Repotting
Repotting is generally not necessary for Hemerocallis fulva as it is typically grown outdoors. However, if grown in containers, repot every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and provide more space for the rhizomes.Propagation
The plant can be propagated by division. The best time to divide is in early spring or late summer. Dig up the clump, separate the rhizomes, and replant them at the same depth they were growing before.Pruning
Pruning is minimal but beneficial. Remove spent flowers to encourage more blooms and cut back the foliage in late fall after it has died back. This helps to keep the plant tidy and reduces the risk of disease.Toxicity
