    Hi all,

    General rule of thumb, how many lilies would you plant in one pot?
    Does one bulb create just one stem?

    I have 5 x Pretty Woman bulbs which I believe will grow rather large, but I do have a really big pot (about 70cm across).

    Would it matter if I lift them and shift to a new pot if they start to appear too big?

    Thanks :)

      Hi

      that variety is very tall also called skyscraper Lillie’s and yes only 1 stem from each bulb .

      that pot will be ideal , add some John Ines no 3 to the mix , that will stop the pot from falling over with the xtra weight it will give to the compost
