I took too long to plant some of my lilies, but I finally got these potted up. I just went to look in on them and found this situation.
The stem has dried up. I would expect this bulb to be a goner since it can not get any nutrients.
Could I salvage some life by digging it up, separating the scales and propogaing those? Or is the bulb, all parts included, simply done for?
Thanks for any help.
