The Lily bulb:How to take care of a Lily plant:

Water: Lily plants do not need a lot of water. Water in the spring is most important to help the Lily grow. Growing the lily in soil that can drain easily is best so that the lily doesn’t get too much water.

Light: Lilies need lots of sun to life. They will not grow well and will eventually die if left in the shade for too long. Don’t try and grow lilies too close to trees because the trees block out a lot of the sun light the lilies need to live. Nutrients: Lilies need good soil to grow strong so adding compost or a little fertilizer to the soil can help!

Different types of Lilies:
