An Easter Lily is a wonderful Gift for the Easter Season. It smells wonderful and just the presence of an Easter lily is so amazing and cheerful it will light up any room. Caring For Easter Lilies Indoors:
- Choose a sunny or bright location so the plant will receive plenty of light during the day. Keep away from heat sources (like a heat register) since the plant prefers being cool at night.
- Water the plant well each day.
- Once the plant blooms and the leaves begin to yellow, keep watering until ready to transplant outdoors (allow the leaves to die naturally before pruning them from the plant).
Transplanting Outdoors:
- When all danger of frost has passed in the Spring and the soil can be worked, plant the bulb 6 to 8 inches deep in the soil. Choose a location where the plant will receive lots of sun and make sure the soil is well-draining. Once planted, top the soil with about an inch or two of mulch to help keep the roots cool during the hot summer.
- The lily may bloom in the Fall of the same year it is planted but usually it will not bloom until late Spring of the following year (typically May to June).
