Lily (also known as lily, lily) is a perennial plant with beautiful flowers that bloom every summer. Over time, lilies can grow crowded when the flower clusters grow too large. To solve this problem, you can dig up the tree at the end of the growing season and replant. Once you have separated the lilies, you can either replant them in the ground or grow them in pots. Remember to water the bulbs as soon as they are planted so they can thrive next year!
Steps
Dig the tubers and separate the lilies
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/66/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-1-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and- Transplant-Lilies-Step-1-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/66/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-1- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-1-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Separate the lilies in the fall, every 3-4 years. After 3-4 years, the clusters of lily bulbs lying in the ground will grow larger and may begin to crowd the garden. Wait until the fall, when the branches and leaves of the tree turn yellow to brown before digging up the bulbs. This way, the plant will not be harmed while it is in bloom. [1] X Research Source
- You can also plant in early spring, but the flowers may not be as pretty or the plant may not produce many flowers.
- Avoid digging lily bulbs on warm sunny days so as not to damage the bulbs.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d1/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-2-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and- Transplant-Lilies-Step-2-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d1/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-2- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-2-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Dig the soil around the plant to lift it up. Place the tip of the shovel about 8-10 cm from the base of the tree and roll it straight into the ground. When the tip of the shovel is about 15 cm below the ground, press the handle of the shovel towards your body to lift the flower bulbs. [2] X Research Source
- If the tree still doesn’t pop up right away, pull the shovel up and go to the opposite side and stick the shovel in the ground again. Continue to roll the soil in circles around the base of the tree until the tree is pulled out of the ground.
- Don’t stick the tip of the shovel too close to the base of the tree, or you’ll cut a flower bulb lying on the ground.
- You can use a garden pitchfork to dig up flower bulbs if you don’t have a shovel.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/97/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and- Transplant-Lilies-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/97/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-3- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Separate the flower bulbs by hand and arrange by bulb size. Wear gardening gloves to keep your skin from itching. Pick up a bunch of bulbs and shake off as much soil as possible to find where the bulbs stick together. Gently pull the flower bulbs to separate them. Arrange the bulbs in piles according to size, as the larger bulbs will bloom earlier than the smaller ones. [3] X Research Sources
- The biggest bulbs you dig up will bloom the following season.
- The medium-sized bulbs will bloom after 2 seasons.
- The smallest flower bulbs will take 3-4 seasons to bloom.
Tip: If you can’t separate the bulbs by hand, you can use a garden knife to cut them apart. Rinse the blade after each cut of a tuber to avoid spreading bacteria or pathogens.

Throw away all bulbs that show signs of disease or rot. Inspect the bulbs when digging for soft spots or black mold. Wipe the soil clean to easily detect signs of infection on flower bulbs. Throw all damaged bulbs in the trash to be sure to replant only healthy plants. [4] X Research Sources
- Do not throw diseased bulbs in the compost bin, as you can spread the pathogen to other plants.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/fa/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and- Transplant-Lilies-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/fa/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-5- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Twist off the branches from the flower bulbs. Use your dominant hand to grasp the base of the plant above the flower bulb. Turn the bulb clockwise (or counterclockwise if you’re using your non-dominant hand) until the stem breaks and comes off the bulb. Continue to rip off all dead branches from the remaining healthy bulbs. [5] X Research Sources
- If growing a dandelion plant, cut the branches so that they are about 15-20 cm long. Remove leaves and other parts of the twig.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/76/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and- Transplant-Lilies-Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/76/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-6- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Store bulbs that you haven’t grown yet in a plastic bag with sphagnum moss. You should plant flower bulbs as soon as possible so that the bulbs do not dry out and can grow healthy. If you can’t plant it right away, you can put the damp white thorns in a plastic bag and put the flower bulbs in the bag. Store the bag of bulbs in the refrigerator until you can grow them. [6] X Trusted Source Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Go to Source
- You can store lily bulbs in the refrigerator for up to 8 weeks if needed.
- Do not put lily bulbs in other fruit or vegetable drawers, as vegetables can produce gases that can affect later flowering.
Replant the flower bulbs in the ground
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/70/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and- Transplant-Lilies-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/70/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-7- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Find an area with full sun and well-drained soil to grow lily bulbs. Find a patch of soil in your garden that gets 8-10 hours of sun every day so your lilies can grow to their full potential. Test the drainage of the soil by digging a hole about 30 cm wide and 30 cm deep and pouring water into the hole. If the water level is receding at a rate of about 5 cm per hour then that is the right place for you to plant lilies. [7] X Research Sources
- You can also replant the tree in the old place if you don’t want to find new places to plant flowers.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b3/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and- Transplant-Lilies-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b3/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-8- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Dig a hole 3 times as deep as the flower bulb. Use a shovel to dig a hole at least 3 times the height and 2 times the diameter of the flower bulb. That way, the tree will have room to grow and also be deep enough to be safe through the winter. [8] X Trusted Source Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Go to Source
- If you plant a dandelion, you should dig a hole about 8 cm deeper than the height of the bulb.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a0/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-9-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and- Transplant-Lilies-Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a0/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-9- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Adjust the soil with compost . Spread the compost on the bottom of the pit in a layer about 5 cm thick. Be sure to level the compost to create a strong base for the bulbs. Compost will provide nutrients to strengthen the plants from dying before the growing season. [9] X Research Source
- For example, you can use organic garden manure or perlite mix.
- You can also buy a compost mix at a gardening store or make your own.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/01/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies- Step-10.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/01/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Divide- and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-10.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Place 3-5 bulbs in the soil pit, about 1.3 cm apart, pointed end up. Place the lily bulbs in the center of the hole so that the pointed end is where the branches will grow upwards. Press the tubers firmly into the compost so that the roots are firmly attached to the soil so that the plants grow strong and strong. Leave a gap of at least 1.3 cm between the bulbs so they have enough room to grow. [10] X Research Source
- If you are growing a dandelion plant, keep in mind that the spike with the buds will only be about 2.5 cm below the ground.
- Plant all bulbs of the same size in the same area instead of mixing them up. Otherwise, your lilies will not look full.
Tip: Plant clusters of bulbs about 20 -45 cm apart so they don’t grow too thick and have enough room to grow.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/61/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies- Step-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/61/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Divide- and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Fill the holes with soil and mark the planting locations. Fill the remaining soil over the flower bulb and continue to fill it until it is level with the surrounding soil. Gently press down to compact the soil around the bulb. Stick small stakes or plant markers on top so you don’t forget where to bury the bulbs. [11] X Trusted Source Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Go to Source
- You can also mix 1 part compost with 4 parts soil to provide more nutrients to the plants.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4a/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies- Step-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4a/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Divide- and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Water the soil immediately after planting the bulbs. Fill a watering can or use a garden hose with a shower head to water the soil where you just buried the bulbs. Continue watering until the soil is wet to a depth of 15 cm below ground level to ensure that the flower bulbs receive water. [12] X Research Source
- Keep the soil moist throughout the winter if there is no snow cover on the ground.
Planting lilies in pots
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3e/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies- Step-13.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3e/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Divide- and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-13.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Choose a pot that is 3-4 times larger than the height of the largest flower bulb. Measure the size of the largest flower bulb to find a large enough pot. Find a pot that is at least 2-3 times the diameter of the bulb and 3-4 times the height of the bulb so that it can be planted deep enough. Make sure the pot has a drainage hole so that the water doesn’t stay too long to rot the flower bulbs. [13] X Research Source
- Buy one pot for every 3-5 flower bulbs.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/ca/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-14.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies- Step-14.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/ca/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-14.jpg/v4-728px-Divide- and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-14.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Pour a layer of compost about 5-8 cm thick into the bottom of the pot. Place a piece of crockery in the drainage hole in the bottom of the pot so the compost doesn’t fall out. You can buy a quality compost mix at a gardening store or make your own. Pour compost into the bottom of the pot in a layer 5-8 cm thick and press down gently to flatten. Do not compact the compost too tightly; otherwise, it will be difficult for the roots to come out when the tree is in the growing season. [14] X Research Source
- You can also use organic garden manure, food scraps, or a packaged perlite mix.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/77/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-15.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies- Step-15.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/77/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-15.jpg/v4-728px-Divide- and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-15.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Place 3-5 flower bulbs about 1.3 cm apart in a pot, with the pointed end of the bulb facing up. Place the flower bulbs in the pot in a circle, about 2.5 cm from the wall of the pot. Plant the bulbs about 1.3cm apart so that the plants don’t get crowded when they grow. Make sure the tip of the bulb is facing up, or your flower will not grow. [15] X Research Source
Tip: Plant the biggest bulbs in pots if you want them to bloom next year. Otherwise, it will be several years before you see the flowers bloom.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/33/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-16.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies- Step-16.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/33/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-16.jpg/v4-728px-Divide- and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-16.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Fill 15-20 cm of soil on top of the flower bulbs. Use a regular potting mix or compost mix to cover the flower bulbs in the pot. Fill about 15-20 cm of soil near the top of the pot and level the ground. Gently press to compact the soil around the flower bulbs and stimulate healthy shoots. [16] X Research Source
- Do not compact the soil too tightly, or it will be difficult for the plant to grow and bloom.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2c/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-17.jpg/v4-728px-Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies- Step-17.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2c/Divide-and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-17.jpg/v4-728px-Divide- and-Transplant-Lilies-Step-17.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Water the bulbs and place the pot in an area that gets 8-10 hours of sun each day. Use a watering can or hose to water the soil. Water until the soil layer 15 cm below the ground is completely wet. Place the pot in a place where the sun shines 8-10 hours a day so that the flower bulbs have time to settle before the next season. [17] X Research Source
- You can put potted plants outdoors if there is no area in the house that gets full sun.
- Keep the soil moist throughout the winter to provide water for the flower bulbs.
Advice
- You can also use leftover lily bulbs as gifts for your friends so they can grow flowers in the garden too!
Warning
- Wear gardening gloves when handling flower bulbs to avoid itching.
