Lily flowers are a healing substance to treat infections and skin problems, wrinkles, snake bites, and baldness. Orange Asiatic Lilies also symbolizes vitality, warmth, conviction, and honor.
Place your plant in full sun (6-8 hours) to part sun (4-6 hours). Avoid hot afternoon sun.
Water well in the morning to allow time for the foliage to dry before night fall. This plant needs at least 1 inch of water per week. Supplement watering during dry spells.
This plant does not do well in high humidity and succumbs to fungal diseases easier.
Lilies can tolerate extreme temperatures during the winter and summer months.
This plant prefers warm summers and cold winters. If there is a late frost in spring, it is helpful to protect your plant with mulch or a plant cover for a few hours.
Add organic compost around the plant in the spring or a balanced granular fertilizer each year. Scratch the soil's surface, spread the fertilizer, then cover up with the existing soil and mulch.
To transplant into a garden container or the garden bed, water your plant the night before. Dig the hole twice as wide as the grower pot and the same depth as the grower pot (not deeper). Remove the plant and center in the spot. Add rooting hormone around the roots of the plant. Water in the hole and let drain. If you have clay soils, add compost to enhance the soil consistency. Fill around the plant and up to the top of its soil line. Tamp down with your hands to remove any air pockets. Water again around the drip line. Lilies don't like alkaline soil or lime so keep the soil pH at 5.5-6.5.
Trim the flowers back after they fade to prevent the plant from going to seed and retain the lilies' energy in its bulb.
After the plant is fully established (2-3 years), dig up the plant, ensuring you capture all the roots.
Remove the bulbs and soil around them.
Replant in a full sun to part sun spot in rich soil with good drainage or a container plant mix.
Dig the hole twice as wide and the same depth as the original or three times the height of the bulb deep.
Add root hormone at the bottom of the hole, place the bulbs in the center, and water.
Add compost and supplemental garden soil mixed with the native soil to the hole.
Water around the plant again and keep the soil moist but not soggy in well-draining soil. Mulch around the roots to retain moisture.
