[@lilyrye5651]

I highly suggest having a big pot for your “garbage” cuttings! I started doing that and surprisingly a lot grows that people say shouldn’t or won’t! I’ve gotten so many Lilly’s doing this! And I after they bloom and form seed pods I wait about a month and then I dig them up and separate them and I always get really good new growth before winter comes!! When summer comes back around the next year I have so many more Lilly’s 🥰

[@GardeningatDouentza]

That's a good idea. Thank you

Your knowledge is amazing! I only got into gardening during lockdown as a way to keep my sanity and I'm absolutely hooked. My first plant was a star gazer lily, only the one, so I'm absolutely thrilled to find this video. It's spring 22 now, so I've got a few months to wait but I'm definitely going to try my hand at the scale method. Thanks so much for sharing all you've learned; it's very much appreciated. 🤗

[@victorb145]

Scaling well that explains a lot. Last year, I wanted to give one of my bulbs away. While digging, I severely damaged one. I thought, I can't give this away. I've cut it in half. So I put it and the scales that fell off a side and dug out another one for my friend. Then I took the damaged one and put all of its parts back, but off to the side in case it just rotted it, it wouldn't harm anything. Judging from this year's growth, both halfs lived along with most of the scales.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Aren't plants just amazing 😊

[@victorb145]

@GardeningatDouentza Definitely, though I think it might have been two years ago now. As I have two distinct sizes. Ity bitty, the shock of being dug will probably kill them. Then the very small ones. Maybe I should of let them get a little bigger. But they might be just big enough to make it.

[@SardiPax]

Great info, thanks Rachel. The other thing about seed propagation of course is that you don't necessarily know what you will get, especially from a hybrid plant. Fun to find out but as you say, a long wait.

[@lebleubayou]

You have some really great ideas. However, I would not throw anything away, even if it doesn't look lively. No harm in just putting it back in the soil and see what happens. If nothing happens, nothing lost. But if those pieces choose to create roots, then you have easy propagation. 😂 I also read otherwise regarding the Asiatic lily propagation by leaf. "Using foliage for Asiatic lily propagation is an unusual method, but it does work in time. Gently pull downward on the outer leaves of the plant **when they are still green but after the plant has bloomed.** Dip the ends of the leaves in rooting hormone and insert them into 2 inches (5 cm.) of moistened sand. My Asiatic lilies bloom only in summer. So this propagation would take place in early August for me. Going to give it a try! I sure do appreciate these ideas. Good job!

We moved into current house about 11 mos ago and a little over a week ago these 2-2 1/2' stems popped up about a foot apart. They were fully bloomed 2 days ago and found out they are red spider lilies. They do not have any leaves at base of stem, so i am wondering if they are a year old or had went dormant for some reason. Is it better to leave them for s year or two before trying to propagate them? They are so beautiful and can't wait to have bigger clusters of them. Thank you for showing how to dig the bulbs up. Yours is only video i have found that shows this. If i do dig to propagate, I read to wait to dig bulbs up 2 weeks after they have shed all of their petals. Do you agree? Thank you for all of this great information. Previous tenant was a gardener. We have at least 6 rose of sharons, a persimmon tree, 3 Asian pear trees that produce round fruit and one that produces pear shaped, purple iris, orange lilies and a few plants and trees I am still trying to identify. One has shiny dark green leaves with thorns and find a fruit on it that was shaped like the root beer barrel candy but color of a hazelnut shell, cut into it and it had a slight apple smell with one seed that was almost as long as the fruit but smaller in diameter. Wish i could post a pic of it and the red spider lilies.

[@oksalbright]

Oh and it got my green thumb going. Planted a Hyacinth, bought a passion flower that I am keeping in the house until next spring, and a small orchid for a houseplant.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Red spider lilies are not lilies. They are Lycoris radiata. So many different unrelated plants are called 'lily' in the vernacular that's why we really need to tune in to botanic names. If your plant is lycoris then nothing in this video applies to it. I cannot grow lycoris outdoors here. Maybe it isn't the red spider lily you have? By the way, it seems that you really are catching the plant bug. Hyacinths can be the slippery slope - so beautiful and fragrant and easy to grow 😊

Can the bulb be cut, to get the pieces you need! I'm just starting out with my lillie garden, and this is my second year!

It is not a normal way to propagate lilies. You may have some success but not as much as you would have from scaling.

In theory lilies could be propagated by chipping but it it not the normal recommended way to propagate lilies so will be less successful. I attach two videos I made a out chipping. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3rXq56FiK98jMk kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4OVnIODiJ5njqc

Perhaps to avoid removing scales without part of the basal plate, it might be a good idea to score the basal plate slightly prior to pulling on the scale. But perhaps I'm talking rubbish....

[@GardeningatDouentza]

I guess that might be an idea, especially if you're not planning on replanting the lily. This basal plate was pretty thick though. It does vary from lily to lily so others are not as problematic. Thanks for the thought and have a great day.

Great video! Thank you for sharing all these info! Unfortunately it’s not exactly what I needed, but I cannot find what I did wrong anywhere and I thought perhaps to try and ask here… let’s start saying I am trying super hard to keep plants alive, and too often I fail. Last year I bought 9 lilies bulb, 3per type, and planted them in the garden. 7 came out and were gorgeous. This spring I was waiting for then to come out again, but as soon as they showed up they got completely eaten by slugs. I tried everything to remove those parasites but at the snd the only solution was to take out the only 2 lilies still alive and put them in a pot. By digging I was very careful and found several small bulbs… they propagated! I put all of them in different pots and waited. But nothing grew and the two that were still alive did not grow of a millimeter. I am afraid I killed them all! Do you think there is something I can do to rescue them? Those bulbs were small, no roots, and a bit dry. Thanks to anyone who could help

[@GardeningatDouentza]

It is hard to know what is killing your lilies although you do mention slugs. I also don't know where you are. Lily beetle can be a problem too. Alternatively it can be that your soil is alkaline and you are planting acid-loving lilies or vice versa. I have naturally acidic soil so in this case Asiatic lilies quickly dwindle and die here. Hope this helps

The lillies I planted where ordered on line last year, and already last year I had problems with slugs eating them, but at the end they managed to grow. I ordered Netty’s pride, Forever Susan and Altari, those were the names. This year, as soon as they put one little leaf out, the slug were eating it up.

It all depends on how much of the lily leaves were left! Lilies gain nourishment from their leaves during the summer and this leads to flowering the following year. If your lily has been compromised and lost half its leaves, I recommend a fertiliser to boost the remaining leaves. Fingers crossed for next year!

I was wondering if you can give me any advice. Thank you for all the very useful information that you were kind enough to share with us.

Thanks for your message. Why do you bring your lilies into the house?Why not leave them outdoors in your yard? Lilies need winter cold for their long-term health. You can try lily dividing and scaling indoors but you will need to use a fridge to provide cold for your scales.

@@GardeningatDouentza thanks for you rapid reply I put my Lily's indoors because i bought them in a pot and I wanted to enjoy there beauty while they lasted. Now that they have gone dormant I would like to know what's the best way for them to have them sprout again next year!!!! Which is the best way, to pull them out of the soil and put them in plastic bag in the fridge or to put them in a closed tray and leave them outside? Buy the way I forgot to mention that I live in Malta 🇲🇹 and our winter is not that cold. thanks again.

@@gracefenech5762 I'm sorry I don't know the best way to grow lilies in your climate.

Wow, I am amazed with your knowlege. I found your video because I've just bought a few bulbs and wondering what to do with them. I have no clue about geminating lilies. Can I still grow these now August? Sounds like these bulbs won't germinate in hot weather? I am in New Jersey. We got rain yesterday and it is very humid today. Would humid weather with some rain be good conditon for these bulbs to sprout?

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Hi there, Amy, and thank you for your message. Usually lily bulbs are planted in autumn or spring. If planted in autumn you shouldn't expect them to kick into growth until spring. Unfortunately, if you have bought bulbs that have been dry (unplanted) all summer then your chance of success is slim. Hope this helps.

@@GardeningatDouentza I see. Thank you!

For the leaf cuttings, If I do not have a cold frame what can I do? Put them in the fridge?

[@GardeningatDouentza]

There are videos out there that talk about how to do scaling, using a fridge, but there are disadvantages. With the leaf cuttings I guess you will need to try bringing them into the house. Let me know how you get on if you do it.

[@tracygibson7050]

I have a lilly in a pot an d last year it had 39 flower heads on it. What i wondered is should i dig it up and see if i can divide the bulbs, sorry but im not sure exactly what type it was.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

You could try dividing it or just repotting and feeding well.

[@MrSBGames]

I always thought that the bulbils between the leaf nodes were hibernating lily beetle grubs 🙈

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Oh dear, lots of lost baby lilies. But now you know!

[@JeffreyIsbell]

But I have some small red lillies whose flowers have produced some seeds or fruit? What are they and how can I use them? Each flower has drooped over and swollen inside to produce these bumpy objects!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

You will know the seed is mature when the capsules brown and split open of their own accord. In order not to miss this moment, cover the seed head in a small paper bag. Lily seed is usy flat and brown. Surface sow the seed immediately in pots in a protected environment. Germination rate and speed will depend on the type of lily you have and the length to eventual flowering is 1-7 years, depending on type. I cannot know which lily you have. Hope this information helps.

What is the actual time to put the bulb in soil. Just now I bought Asiatic Lilly bulb & other one is very small seeds. Please let me know. Thanks.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Lilies are best planted in autumn or spring, either in the soil or in pots. You may find this video of mine helpful... kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYDEmnd7oM1-hNEsi=PWXNCnx6wp-tOpXr

Can you please explain how to grow from seed pods??

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thanks for the suggestion. Different lily seeds require different treatment. I will think about making a video to cover the most common sorts. Have a good day.

[@anthonyrespass3090]

Thanks. My lilys & l are very happy .sub

Welcome to the channel 😊

[@FearnotIamwithyou]

So what is the equivalent of a cold frame for zone 4b? Does cold frame refer to a certain temperature?

[@GardeningatDouentza]

A coldframe would generally be frost-free.

[@FearnotIamwithyou]

@@GardeningatDouentza oh ok, that makes sense now. Thank you! I look forward to your videos every day after work. I've learned so much.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

@@FearnotIamwithyou That's nice to hear. Thank you.

I have an Asiatic lily that broke off at the stem. I cut the stem on an angle and then placed it in a tiny jar with water and placed it on the windowsill by my sink in the kitchen with indirect sunlight. It started to grow a small bulb like structure at the top. Is it even a bulb? If so, when and how do I remove it to plant it? It is the end of June and all my other asiatic lilies are tall and blooming.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Well, good news! I have never heard of Asiatic lilies forming bulbils but I would suggest you treat it as the tiger lily bulbils mentioned in this video. No need for the ericatious potting mix though. Don't worry about your baby lily not being in sync with the rest of your flowering lilies. If it is starting from scratch it will take some time to reach flowering size. Good luck!

[@marielvanhees9531]

@@GardeningatDouentza Thank you. At the moment it still looks very green with a new green stem growing up from it. Can you tell me the time frame of when the bulbils turns color to pick it off? I've had this plant grow in my garden for 5 years and have never seen bulbils grow on it.

[@yazbethtorreblancahernande5678]

What about growing in super hot weather 😬😬😬 is it possible?

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Lilies need cold and grow I hardiness zones 5-9, depending on variety.

[@tiffanienguyen7174]

This year I bought 2 Lillie's in 4" pots in the grocery store had developed seeds like at 10:35. I kept watering the the thing the seeds still attached to the stem now they sprouts leaves out of. What do I do with it. I transplant into a bigger pot and put 2 in one pot.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Yes, it is time to transplant your lily seedlings. Careful not to break any roots. Choose community pots and feed with a well-balanced liquid fertilizer.

[@tiffanienguyen7174]

@@GardeningatDouentza I will thank you so much. 🥰😍.

My stargazer lilies arent multiplying? They are 3-4 yrs old i think. Why dont they multiply? They bloom.

Try propagating by scaling.
