Easter Lilies
by Diane Heeney
Description: Tips for caring for and extending the life of your Easter lilies.
Extend the life of your Easter lily by purchasing ones with
tight buds.
They should be placed in moderate light, and kept moist, with
cool temperatures.
Removing the yellow anthers will also help them last longer.
Once the blooms have withered, remove them. The plant
may go dormant
at this time. Water sparingly to avoid root rot. After
frost danger
is gone, remove from the pot and knock off the old dirt, spread
the roots
and plant a few inches deeper than it was in its pot. Many
people
report their lilies have bloomed in the garden for several years.
