Lily Propagation: How to Scale Lily Bulbs - Multiplying Lily Bulbs in the Cut Flower Garden

[@GardenUPLandscape]

Wow, I've been gardening professionally for over 15 years and I did not know this trick! Thank you!

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

I'm so glad it was helpful. Thanks so much for watching! 🌱🌱🌱

[@hazzzee]

i have only just become fascinated by lilies, not just Orientals, Tree and also the Calla and not just the species ,but all the colours as well, now I only need to buy one, the following year I might be able to try your method, thank you from the UK

[@Opinionated_Monkey]

Thank you for this video! I haven't found a propagation video this detailed thus far. I will be trying this! Lilies are my favorite flower

[@justplants8239]

this video is so helpfull mostly if i dont want to spend so much money for bulbs. i know it takes years but is fun to try different things. thank you!

[@oishd6077]

Thank you so much. I've seen other videos of cutting up the entire bulb into sections... but this seems less brutal. I have to try this! Thanks!

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

No need to cut the bulbs. Each scale will produce 1-2 new bulbs, plus you can save the original one by replanting. 🌱🌱🌱

[@jazminelozada2190]

Thank you..I'm interested. Just bought myself and my daughter-in- law a potted Stargazer Lilies and we both loved them! Thanks for sharing your "know how" and experience! God bless you!

[@wachterwachter]

I did this to my OT Purple Prince a few years ago and it worked. Defo some valuable info here.

[@amypage8141]

Just found a seed pod on my lilly. Now ive got them started. Thank you so much for the info. I'm so excited. Long process. I'm in it to the final bloom

[@BobSmith-kd6lq]

I ran across this vid searching for seed pod info. I'm new to lilies and found a brown bean looking 5hing on top of what looked like a new flower set and was wondering what it was lol

I admired your passion and patience to take care of these beautiful plants. I love plants and nature and they helped me going through my stress. My family would always gifted me plants and flowers. In winter We kept my plants in the house but some like cloe, African violets n other perennials didn’t survived, very delicate. I got 7 different lilies collections and they are so beautiful. They stayed outside they’re toughed. Thankyou for your nice video

[@wasim007able]

A big Thankyou for making this video. I have few lilly plants which are the last ones of their batch n want to propogate them before i loose them completely. This video is very clear on how to propagate bulbs. I will now try it. will be doing it for the first time so fingers crossed. please keep making more videos as they help. 👍

[@alicehofmann1557]

I just bought lillies in a supermarket here, in Berlin, and wanted to know how to get more of them since it's usually not so easy to find them to buy. I have a lot of plants on my balcony, but I always wanted to have a row of lillies since they are my fav flower, and my boyfriend buys them for me ever couple of weeks but I always felt sad gettung them already cut. Imma do this and hopefully enjoy them every year while drunking cocktail on my balcony. Thanks a lot

[@CarlosRoberto-zv1tg]

Wow love your video. I’m from Brazil and love Lily

[@elliestell2696]

Wow I didn’t know you could do that. You are fantastic.

[@onetwocue]

I do this all the time. Especially when you buy prepackaged Lily bulbs. There's always loose scales in the bag.

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

That's a great idea!

[@marianstallings7344]

I really enjoyed this video.last year my lily order came to late to plant , so I put them in pots in my cold basement put them out on the porch this Spring. The potting soil retained too much moisture from rain , so I dumped them out to plant in the garden. One was starting to rot and the scales were falling off, so I put them in sand in a small flat. I’m hoping they get bulbils. It’s 49 degrees this morning,and they are outside in sun, rain and whatever weather. I’m wondering if I should put them on the heat mat for awhile then back outside. I don’t know if they’re going to grow anyway.

[@GrowZoneTamil]

Wow interesting and learnt something new.. Thanku for sharing 🙂👍

[@peggyyang7474]

It is very helpful. I will try it out this year. What do you do with the old lily bulbs that got removed scales? Do you put them back into ground or store in fridge?

Fascinating video. Can I ask what are the best companion plants to grow with a Lily. I've built a new 1m square planter and ordered a pack of 9 Royal Lily bulbs and would like to know what plants I could also grow in there that would compliment and even benefit the Lily. Thanks.

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

I always like to plant smaller annuals from seed with my lilies. This way I can add different plants with the lilies every growing season. 🌱🌱🌱

[@ritakorgaonkar2292]

Thanks Ma'am. Nice video.

[@christinaimbronone8815]

Ok got a question. Last year I bought some lily bulbs from tractor supply and planted them in a pot. They sprouted (4 of them) and my dog decided to pull them up and chew them, lol I did re-plant them and they did sprout and grow flowers (only a few). This year they came back AMAZING I have 9 stalks now with 14 buds! I got my first bloom open this morning! Question is...why do they not smell this year? Last year they smelled great. Should I have added something to the soil?

[@Wildpony98]

I will put the time in trying to grow new plants from this method or the seed pods, just out of spite to buying the overpriced new plants.

[@miriammigliacci3527]

Absolutely! It’s not spite, it’s wisdom!

[@BobSmith-kd6lq]

@@miriammigliacci3527 some spite, especially at $10 a bulb for something to not come up or isn't the right one you ordered lol

I think for Asiatic lilies the process could be little faster after you put'em in a pot especially in warmer areas like NE Florida, whats your thoughts ?

@@lelia818 hi, california poppies are best sowed in cool temps (fall to winter) in full sun, outdoors (unless you have hard frosts in winter; they can handle light frost). i just learned this year that heat above 80 will do a number on the seedlings! btw, i'm from cali

hey i bought 2 store bought oriental lilies bulb, planted them separately one of them grew nice big stem. other one had quite a big growing eye but it was a little bent after couple weeks it didn't grew any bigger than what i bought. do you think i could do anything to the bulb to make grow again this year or next year maybe? or is it useless to save it now? Need help : )

At 7:17 what is that thing that popped out? Was that a big bulb or a rock?

Hi thanks for this video. I have a few oriental lilies the stargazer and once I start seeing the leaves I check em everyday or two for those little red lily leaf beetles I'm really good at catching em my question is what can I do to prevent these beetles from finding my lilies? Two summers back I found them along with thier babies eating the plants so since then I keep on top of plants as they smell soooo good and how do I propagate for seeds? Thanks for any advice it's super appreciated. Eddie J. Long Island N.Y

[@jin8339]

I don't have Oriental lily but I do have one lily that I bought it from a botanical once a year where all the nurseries meet up. Anyways, it has 4 bulbs now but I don't know how to break it apart without damaging it. I don't know it is clump together or what ? Can I split it or should I leave it alone. I lost the name tag and all I know it is Australian hybrid . Absolutely beautiful and loves heat. Thank you so.much ! 🌻🏵️🌺🌸

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

If the bulbs have grown into clumps, dividing them would probably be better than scaling. I usually do that every 4-6 years. 🌱🌱🌱

[@Poppi_Weez]

Hello. What happens if i removed the bulbs before the foilage died and quickly planted the quarter sized bulbs? The weather is still warm

[@beckysmith7142]

Hi, could the new lily bulblets just be left in the pot until they are bigger, instead of planting them in the garden? Thanks! Love your videos!!!

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

They probably could. I would just worry that they might start to get really crowded after a couple seasons. 🌱🌱🌱

[@tylertowne8648]

Yes they can, it's going to be a while before they get too crowded. I have amaryllis in large pots, theyre really full pots and they bloom like crazy.( Old horse manure 2 year old,at least, looks like black dirt)works like a charm to feed them. Make some compost manure tea and side dress the plants with the dry compost. Here in south Louisiana, my stargazers and amaryllis never dies, stays outside and green through the winter, they're in bloom now, April 21 and the stargazers are deep green and will be blooming soon.

Could you please tell me what happened?

Do you have a problem with deer in your area ? And if so what do you do to deter them

How do you do that with the seasons? If you dig up and scale in the summer after they bloom by the time you do everything itll only be fall.

Ideally, the plant should die back naturally first. This is required because the bulb continues to store energy for the next growing season.

[@splishshinesplash]

Shoot, I had to dig tiger lily bulbs up in July and some of the scales came off so i just potted mine in pots (they did get light) just temporarily before I put them in their final resting places. Now suddenly they have sprouts coming out in fall (I know it's out of season) and I'm worried with winter coming, it'll kill these bulbs completely. What do I do?!

[@AndYourLittleDog]

Can you just plant the lily scales in the garden? I did this on fall when I divided my orientalist lilies and accidentally pulled a few scales off the established bulbs? I live in 7a and we have had a cold winter so they’ve definitely had the right weather for stratification.

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

I've never tried it, but I can't imagine that it would be much different than the bulb multiplying naturally in the garden. Good luck!

[@dmlph2]

Can I do this with Easter Lilies? Is it the same process?

[@jeleahbugnay2128]

Hi, may I ask if there's any workaround if we don't have a refrigerator to put the scales to? Thank you

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

Anywhere that's cold, but doesn't freeze should work well - so maybe stored away in an unheated garage or something? I've never tried it, but I'm sure there's another option. Good luck!

Most lilies overwinter here in my yard without any problems. I believe that most of them require a certain number of chill hours to make sure that they'll bloom the following season. I have had trouble with them rotting before, when the soil is really heavy clay.
