True lilies are members of the Liliumgenus in the Liliaceae family, plants with large, showy flowers grown from scaly stems. They are popular for their versatility, color range, and beauty, making them a popular choice for indoor arrangements. To prepare for winter, start the process in late fall or early winter, and once the foliage is ready, plant lilies in a cutting garden where fresh bulbs can be planted each year.
Lilies can be planted from late autumn until early April, spacing plants 8 to 18 inches apart, depending on variety. Prepare the garden bed by using a garden fork or tiller to loosen soil. Lilies are easy to propagate, and can be propagated via bulbils from the stem, bulblets around the stem base, and scales.
There are six methods of propagation for lilies, all of which are easy enough for any amateur gardener to undertake. One method involves pulling off a leaf with stem tissue attached, dipping it in rooting hormone, and placing it in wet sand or moist potting soil. Another method is taking a stem.
Peace lilies cannot be reliably propagated from cuttings, as they require a nursery phase when roots start to show. Pot these babies up individually, covering them with their own depth of compost.
