Invert the moist pot, strike the edge on the lawn/ ground, the root ball will come out of the pot, shake out the soil, seperate the bulbs,do not cut the roots or the leaves, pot each bulb in 10 inch pot filled with Bhalo mati and lots of compost, burried up to neck only, water once and forget. Water again only when very dry. Do not worry if the leaves die, the new ones will come out soon.

I had purchased four lillium bulbs. That was my first experience. I succeeded to get bloom from two plants. Third one will take more one or two weeks to bloom. I am sharing red lillium bloom. Highly fragrant flower.

Irfan your bloom is looking very beautiful :) but it seems to be like the stem is not so healthy to bear the weight of the bloom and is bent, if you insert a support In the pot could be a rod, stick or anything usually I use bamboo like stick locally known as cana or nari and tie it with the support it will not only increase the beauty but also protect it from strong wind and rain otherwise it could bent to an extent that stem will break
Liked the bloom very much ;)
