Lily Bulb Rot from Overwatering and Repotting

Lily Bulb Rot from Overwatering and Repotting

Your gift lily died after repotting and watering every other day. Most lilies are bulbs that prefer small pots and dry-down between waterings. Daily watering rotted the bulb.

Salvage Attempt

1. Dig for the bulb. If black/mushy—discard all.
2. If firm: repot into original small pot.
3. Place in paper bag with ¼ cup water monthly + Lysol spray (for fungus).
4. Store cool/dark until growth appears, then return to sun.

Hope for a healthy bulb.
