Rain Lily White Step-by-Step Instructions:
Rain Lily White bulbs 1. Choose the Right Location
Rain lilies prefer full sun to partial shade. They love warm climates, usually USDA hardiness zones 7–10. If you live in a cooler climate, you can grow them in containers that can be brought inside during the colder months.
Make sure the soil is well-draining. Rain lilies don’t like soggy conditions, so a sandy or loamy soil mix works best.
2. Prepare the Soil
In the garden: Loosen the soil with a garden fork or spade, and amend it with organic matter if needed (e.g., compost). A well-drained bed is essential to prevent the bulbs from rotting.
In containers: Choose a container with drainage holes. Fill it with a well-draining potting mix, or mix sand into standard potting soil to improve drainage.
Rain Lily White bulbs 3. Plant the Bulbs
Plant the rain lily bulbs about 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) deep in the soil.
Space the bulbs about 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) apart to allow them to grow and spread.
4. Watering
Water the bulbs thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around them. Keep the soil slightly moist but not too wet, especially during their growing season. Rain lilies bloom after a heavy rain or a good watering, so regular watering is essential to trigger blooming.
Reduce watering in the dormant period (usually in fall or winter).
5. Rain Lily White bulbs Fertilizing
Fertilize rain lilies during growing season with a balanced fertilizer. Once applied per month over spring and summer, it truly brings about the best growth and flowering.
Do not over-fertilize as it can result in leaf growth at the cost of flowers.
6. Mulching (optional)
Cover with a thin layer of mulch over the bulbs. This will act as an insulation in colder climates and keep the soil moist in the growing season.
7. Post-Blooming Care
Wait until the flowers fade and the leaves die back after they have bloomed. This will store energy in the bulb for next season. Refrain from cutting the leaves off until they yellow or turn brown.
8. Rain Lily White bulbs Winter Care
Rain lilies usually go dormant during winters if there is frost and rain. Growers who use containers can move them in during the cold periods and sit them in a cool, dry location.
In areas where winters are less severe, bulbs may remain in the soil, and they will sprout in spring.
