A few weeks ago I purchased a new tangerine, Tango Inca Lily plant from a good nursery. It has been in the ground about 3 weeks. The leaves are starting to yellow. Not all, but some. Am I watering it too much?? I am hoping you will have the answer for me. . I don't want to lose this plant. Please advise and thanks so much!!
The plant may be suffering from transplant shock since it's newly planted. It will need time to acclimate to the new environment. I would make sure it has plenty of water and even a dose of fertilizer (at half strength). More often than not, plants will recover from this on their own.
Thaks so much!! Really appreciate your response.. have been watering it and I just noticed it is getting some buds on it.. Hopefully, it will be fine. again..Thank you!!

Can the flower alstroemeria grow in Michigan?
I think you meant Alstroemeria. It will grow in zone 6-10. Some parts of Michigan are zone 6 while others are 5 or 4. It depends on where you are in Michigan.

All my alstromerias are growing and abundant, but none have any buds so far. Why is this? They have always given dozens of flowers in past springs. But there don't seem to be any this year. What has happened? anne
Do you fertilize these at least once per year? If not, I recommend doing so. It sounds like there is a lack of potassium and phosphorus in the soil.

I have a lovely luxuriant alstromeria plant in a large pot but it won't flower.help please
Keep the soil moist, as Alstroemeria produces the most blooms with moist soil and may become dormant if the soil becomes too dry. Don't allow the soil to remain soggy, as excessively wet soil causes rot and fungal disease. Water the plant lightly during periods of dry winter weather.
Feed the plant in spring, using a general-purpose, time-release fertilizer. Apply the fertilizer at the rate recommended on the container and water the plant deeply to distribute the fertilizer. Repeat in midsummer and early autumn.

Divide Alstroemeria during spring, summer or fall if an older plant begins to appear woody, overcrowded, or nonproductive. Dig up a clump and pull the tuberous roots into smaller sections, each with at least four or five healthy roots. Plant the smaller sections in well-drained soil and full or partial sunlight.
These plants are new and look healthy
Hm... I'm not quite sure which plant you are referring to, exactly. Did you mean Alstroemeria?
If so, then this article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/peruvian-lily/growing-peruvian-lilies.htm
I have alstroemeria plants in pots and they blooms and then they stay green until next season and then multiply and bloom again. I bought two plants at nursery they bloomed, tall about 12" I pulled out dead stems as usual from base but then the plants have just disappeared Is this possibly an annual? I was told it was a plant from Australia. I'm lost. I was hoping it would continue to multiply. I'm afraid to dig around. Suggestions Please.
This is a Perennial, but they will succumb to overwatering quite easily. This is likely the case, here.
If they do not come back, then they will require a fresh planting.
