11366Q.Keeping lilly and tulip bulbs flowering next season
Since their blooms are gone, I would like to transplant tulip and Lilly bulbs from the pots they're now to the garden, so that they will bloom next spring. What do I do with the withering leaves, as well as the bulbs, and when do I transplant the bulbs outdoors?

April 27, 2017A.Put your pots outside in half day sun and water lightly while the tulip plants slip into dormancy. The lilies may stay green for weeks or months while they gather strength for next year's show. When the leaves have yellowed, pop the stems off and plant the bulbs. https://www.leafari.com/lily-planting-guide.html

May 1, 2017A.Keeping the bulbs and pots in a cool place after planting can help them develop good strong roots.
When they just began to grow and the shoots emerge you can move to a sunny location.
Watering is important, basically when the soil appears dry, water the pots. On warm and windy days this may need to be daily.
Generous size pots can help keep the bulbs from drying out in warm weather. You can plant several bulbs together in a big pot for a nice impact.
Make sure you use a good quality planting medium and the container has a good drainage hole.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/lily/how-to-grow-lilies.htm

June 12, 2017A.This is a spathiphyllum or peace lily and has white flowers. It looks fairly large now. It probably will not get much taller, except the flowers, but will get wider if the pot will allow for this as it is a clumping plant. Usually they are potted in up to 12" pots and sold as houseplants but I have seen it in in greenhouses where the clump was more that 3" across. Bright diffused light, but no direct sunlight. Let the plant dry lightly between waterings as it doesn't do will with excess water or drying out too much. Enjoy

June 11, 2017A.This looks like a Peace Lily.
Though the plant will get larger it is relatively slow growing.

June 26, 2017A.I don't know the type of Lily that you are referring too, but most blooming plants need a bright sunlight location.
A grow light can help supplement the light conditions.

June 29, 2017Q.storing lilly garden
I live in zone 5. We are moving in the spring and I want to dig up my lilies and move them with me, but not replant till that next fall. When should I pull the bulbs? How do I clean the bulbs for storage? What medium should I lay the bulbs in? Is it similar to tulip storage? I have Surprise, Asiatic, and Candy lilies and tons of tulips. Approx 600 bulbs total. My friend told me to dig them all in September and use a brush to clean off all dirt, lay flat and let bulb dry. Then layer in a box with cedar chips and separate layers with newspaper. Then store box in closet. checking it monthly for soft bulbs to toss. Is this a proper storage method? Will the cedar chips harm my bulbs? What do you suggest?
