Keep your Easter Lilies blooming by taking a few easy precautions:

•Display your plant in bright, but indirect sunlight.

•Protect your Easter Lily from drafts and heat sources, such as fireplaces, heaters and appliances.

•Remove the yellow anthers from the flower centers. This helps prolong the life of the blossoms and prevents the pollen on the anthers from staining the flowers, your hands, clothing, tablecloths, rugs and anything else it can find its way to.

•Cool daytime temperatures in the 60 – 65 degree F. range will prolong the life of the blooms. The temperature can be even cooler at night.

•Water the your Easter Lily only when the soil becomes dry to the touch and don’t leave it dry for an extended period of time.

•If the lily’s pot is in a decorative foil wrapper, be sure water is not accumulating under the pot. More plants die from over watering than under watering.

•Remove flowers has they fade and wither.
