🌱 How to Plant and Care for Spider Lily Bulbs

📍 Planting Instructions

• Best Time to Plant: Late spring to early summer, after the threat of frost has passed.
• Soil Requirements: Well-drained, fertile soil enriched with compost or organic matter.
• Planting Depth: Plant bulbs 3–4 inches deep with the neck of the bulb just above the soil level.
• Spacing: Space bulbs about 6–8 inches apart to allow room for growth and airflow.

☀️ Light & Watering

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade. More sunlight encourages stronger blooms.
• Watering: Water moderately during active growth. Avoid overwatering, especially during dormancy.

🌿 General Care Tips

• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season.
• Mulching: Use mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds in garden beds.
• Post-Bloom Care: Allow foliage to die back naturally to recharge the bulb for next season.
• Winter Care: In colder zones, mulch heavily or lift bulbs and store in a cool, dry place until spring.
