Product Usage Instructions

Light and Watering

Easter lilies thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorching. Keep the soil evenly moist by watering whenever the top inch dries out. Ensure water drains from the bottom of the pot to prevent waterlogging. Water in the morning to allow foliage to dry in the sun.

Fertilization

Potted Easter Lilies in bloom do not require fertilization. For garden lilies, use a balanced fertilizer as new shoots emerge in spring. Apply a slow-release fertilizer once or twice during the growing season for optimal growth.

Maintenance

Remove the yellow pistils from each flower to prevent pollen dropping and staining. If pollen gets on fabric, use sticky tape to remove it. Avoid rubbing or dusting pollen, as it may smear and worsen the stain.

Toxicity Warning

Easter lilies are toxic if ingested by humans and pets. Keep them out of reach and handle them with care.

Easter Lily Care Guide

Light

Easter lilies thrive in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch their leaves.

Water

Easter lilies like evenly moist soil, so whenever the top inch of soil dries out, water the plants until water starts draining from the bottom. Never allow the plants to sit in water, but also don’t let the soil dry out completely. It’s ideal to water in the morning, giving the foliage time to dry in the sun.

Temperature

The ideal temperature is 60-65° F.

Food

Potted Easter Lilies that are blooming will not need to be fertilized. Easter Lilies in the garden will need a balanced fertilizer as the new shoots emerge in the spring. During the growing season, the Easter Lilies do best with a slow-release fertilizer applied once or twice.

Toxicity

Toxic to humans and pets if ingested.

Growers Tips

Lilies are notorious for dropping pollen. To avoid a mess, remove the yellow pistils in the center of each flower so pollen won’t drop and stain the actual blooms or furniture and tablecloths. Removing the pistils also reduces the fragrance, which some people find too strong anyway. If you do get pollen on fabric, remove it with sticky tape instead of trying to rub it or dust it away, which will just smear it around and possibly make it worse.
