Easter Lily Care


In spring, Easter lilies fill our homes with bright blooms and fragrant aromas. While the flowers seem to quickly come and go, there are some guidelines that may extend the life of your lily.
It is important to leave the plant indoors until the last frost, usually sometime after April. Keep the plant in a sunny location, but away from direct sunlight, heat, or heavy drafts. Easter lilies prefer cooler temperatures, usually around 60-65º during the day, and 55-60º during the night. Be sure to water the plant if the surface of the soil feels dry. Empty the saucer regularly to avoid having the lily sit in water. Also keep in mind that the Easter lily is highly toxic to cats.
Have a Happy Easter!
