I believe my plant is in the Lily family. What do I do to keep it alive after it has bloomed?

Question

It bloomed beautiful and large orange flowers during spring. I continue to water it once a week but the leaves are dying and the blubs are drying up. It’s an indoor plant. How do I keep it alive until next spring and will it bloom again?

Answer 1

The leaves of bulbs naturally fade over a period of time while the bulb is regenerating for next spring. You can plant it outside or if it is getting enough light indoors, you can let the foliage die, then store the bulb over winter in a cool place like the garage before bringing it back inside in the spring.
