Caring For Your Potted Easter Lily
Easter lilies symbolize the spring season. Known as a traditional Easter decoration, an Easter lily from Schnucks can be a thoughtful gift for a host or a cheerful addition to your own home! With proper care, their flowers can last for up to two weeks. Follow the tips below for the most spectacular blooms.
Easter Lily Care
Remove the decorative foil wrapper from the pot. The foil can hold excess water and cause the roots to rot.
Keep lilies in a space with a cool, consistent daytime temperature. Aim for a temperature of 60 to 65 degrees (and slightly cooler at night). Avoid locations near a direct heat source or any drafts.
Find a bright spot with indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight will cause the flowers to wilt. The stems will grow toward the light, so turn the pot every 2 days to keep it growing straight.
Avoid over-watering. Once the soil feels dry to the touch it is ready for watering, but don't let it stay dry for a long period of time either.
Remove wilted and fading flowers. This practice directs energy into other flowers for better growth and encourages re-flowering.
Keep away from pets. All lilies are poisonous to dogs and cats, so use caution if you have pets.
