🌺 Year-Round Care for Your Easter Lily 🌱

Year-Round Care for Your Easter Lily

Spring Care

In spring, Easter Lilies bloom. Keep them in a cool, bright location, but away from direct sunlight. Water them thoroughly when the soil surface feels dry to touch.

Summer Care

After the lily finishes blooming, cut the flower stalk down to the soil level. Continue to water and care for the plant as its leaves gather sunlight to create nourishment for next year's bloom.

Fall Care

In the fall, the lily's leaves will start to yellow. This is a natural part of the plant's life cycle and not a cause for concern. Reduce watering during this time.

Winter Care

In winter, the lily enters a dormant stage. Keep it in a cool, dark place and withhold water. In late winter, you can repot the lily in fresh soil and begin watering it again.
