To do this, it is worth considering the characteristics of the plant, which loves the sun, but blooms longer if there is a little shade.

The soil should be fertile and loose, and its acidity should be neutral. Make sure that the lilies have good drainage to prevent water stagnation.

Important: you can start replanting lilies only when the soil temperature reaches +10 degrees. At the same time, a month before planting, it is worth planting the bulbs in pots - this way you can achieve earlier flowering.
