Growing Season in India:
Rain Lily bulbs can be planted year-round, but they bloom best during monsoon and post-monsoon seasons (June to September). With proper care, they can also bloom multiple times throughout the year.
How to Grow Rain Lily from Bulbs:
Plant the bulbs 1-2 inches deep in well-draining soil, ensuring a spacing of 3-4 inches between each bulb. These plants thrive in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily. Water them moderately, increasing frequency during dry periods. Rain Lilies generally bloom after rain showers, but light watering can also trigger flowering.
Plant Care Tips:
These flowers require minimal care and grow well in most conditions. Use organic compost or a balanced fertilizer once a month to enhance growth. Keep the soil slightly moist but avoid overwatering. Once the leaves start turning yellow, reduce watering to allow the bulbs to go dormant. Rain Lilies are resistant to most pests, but occasional aphids or fungal issues can be treated with neem oil.
Blooming Time:
Rain Lilies bloom 2-3 times a year, especially after rainfall, making them a delightful surprise in the garden.
