Certified ExpertA.Drooping stems could indicate the plant is becoming weak from excessive moisture or root problems. Make sure the soil is well-draining in the planting location. Otherwise, the plant could be drooping if it's grown too "leggy" because of over-fertilization or low light.

Certified ExpertA.Yes, but this is very difficult. It is recommended that you grow them from splitting up the bulbs.

Certified ExpertA.Really, you want to plant these in the fall, but this all depends on where you are located. They need a cold period to break dormancy, so if your area will still remain cold then you should be able to plant now.

Certified ExpertA.If you mean that you've just bought bulbs, you may want to overwinter them as instructed in this article: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/lily/overwintering-lily-bulbs.htm.
If they are plants, yes, be sure to store them inside in a protected environment. They should be fine in the spring.
