Care Instructions
Tiger Lilies require bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. They thrive in moderate temperatures and prefer a humid environment. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out partially between waterings. These plants are best suited for outdoor gardens.Soil
Tiger Lilies prefer well-draining loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. The soil should be kept moderately moist but not waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent bulb rot.Fertilizer
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 is ideal for Tiger Lilies. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms.Repotting
Repot Tiger Lilies every 2-3 years or when the bulbs become crowded. The best time to repot is in the fall after the foliage has died back. Carefully dig up the bulbs, separate any offsets, and replant them in fresh soil.Propagation
Tiger Lilies can be propagated through bulb division or by planting bulbils that form in the leaf axils. The best time to propagate is in the fall. Plant the bulbils or divided bulbs in well-draining soil and water them thoroughly.Pruning
Pruning is necessary to remove spent flowers and dead foliage. This helps to direct the plant's energy towards new growth and prevents the spread of disease. Prune after the flowering season has ended.Toxicity
Tiger Lilies are toxic to cats and can cause severe kidney failure if ingested. All parts of the plant, including the flowers, leaves, and bulbs, are toxic. It is advisable to keep these plants out of reach of pets.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
