Zone 6a ..... As a 25 year gardener who finally retired, I totally appreciate your budget friendly hints and will be storing a bunch of caladium & canna bulbs I just got on sale, the way you suggested. Thanks kindly for sharing !

I am so glad I found your channel. I planted my lilies in a container with many other plants and they did great! We have an outdoor stove to heat our house and the pipes run on the celling for the basement so I thought they would do good there. So, I would dry them and remove all the dirt them put them in a cardboard box layering in with peat moss and vermiculite. Right? Then just watch them if they get dry.

Hi Karen. I'm so thankful you found my channel, too. I love sharing anything I know garden-related with fellow gardeners. 💗 I'm glad to hear that your lilies are thriving in your container! That is correct regarding storing your lilies this winter. They don't need additional moisture during the winter (like dahlia tubers do). The big thing is to not let them freeze and make sure they are not stored where it's too warm otherwise they'll start sprouting prematurely. I store mine in the garage where it hovers at about 40 degrees Fahrenheit all winter and they do great in there. 😊🌺

I went out to look at my lilies and, in the blooms, there was a cluster little green balls what are they and can you plant them? There almost ready to be dig up and dried, but it took me by surprise that they were there. Please let me know!

I believe those are calla lily seeds. How exciting! I've never had my calla lilies set seed like that. I suggest letting them turn brown and then collecting them. I'm sure there are videos out there showing how to start calla lilies from seed. Good luck, friend! 🤞😊🌸

If your call lilles died can the bulb be saved?

[@budgetgardeningvita]

Hi there! It's worth a shot. No guarantee though. I would try to store them and sprout them again next year. Fingers crossed, my friend! 🤞🏼😊
