Hello ive been given 4 football bulbs from my aunt and thank god you have this video, and thankfully she gave it to me on summer so it sprouted nicely and blooms once before, so i have to wait for the next few weeks or days, and thank you very much for the help
Thanks so much for this, really great. I've just ordered some bulbs and am super excited.
Thank You, man. Such a beautiful plant. You're saving my life. Thank You so much 💝
Hi Mr Chandan, thanks for the update. I have been planting F'ball lily from the last 20 years and have almost 50 bulbs. Now I will take care of it as per your instructions. Thanks
@Adeniums by S.K.SHARMA, Most welcome Sir :-) Since you have been growing them from last 20 years, you already have more experience than mine :-) But, they are really gorgeous..I am about to plant few bulbs for late blooms :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat I have never tried for late bloom. Because here, when temp rises above 38/40°C ,flower buds appears even when not planted . So I have to sow them. Is there any method for late bloom.
@Adeniums by S.K.SHARMA, Oh okay! We don't get such issue as it doesn't go that high. We can force late bloom by keeping the bulbs in refrigerator - that way, bulb would think it's winter and they would maintain their dormancy period. Then, can plant them as soon as summer temperature is there. But, plz don't keep in the ice section, thank you :-)
Is flowers se meri bahut saari yaadein judi hain
Thank you so much sir for explaining everything
I LOVED THIS VIDEO. It was very informative. Thank you sooo much.
I had grown football lily earlier this summer. The flower part has died out and now only the foliage is remaining. I just didnt know what to do with it until i saw this video.
@Andrew Karthak, Thank you So So much for the feedback, much appreciated :-) Glad to know I could helped you, Happy Gardening :-)
I'm Nassir from UAE u r my inestracor wish u all the best God bless your family Good morning
Very nice information on football Lily flower this video is helpful for beginners happy gardening
@Paramjeet Kaur Kochhar, Thank you so so much for the feedback, bahat acha laga :-) Happy gardening :-)
Very informative. I look for your videos and watch whenever and before planting any plant. And I feel confident that my plant will do well. Where are you from or your location ?
I have two bulbs brought here in my country. They were not big bulbs and when I planted it, it has healthy leaves. One year had passed already, it doesn't bloom yet, but probably because the stem is still thin and the bulbs are smaller. I really love this plant. Thanks for the tip of planting.
@Shauri Shauri, Most of the bulbs produce the bloom first and then foliage. If they are starting to grow foliage means, almost no chance of getting bloom in that season. It happened with me too (in past) :-) Same thing happened with me while growing Amaryllis...Since I bought the bulbs online, I had no option to select bigger bulbs. I got only Foliage in one season..ha ha..Thank you for watching the video and hope your plants bloom this season, good luck :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat that's a good idea you shared. Thanks too.
@Shauri Shauri, Most welcome :-)
My best friend, Great... We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks Have a happy day!
Very useful information at right time.
Thanks for sharing
@irshad khan, Glad to know and thank you very much for watching, appreciate it :-)
Hello thank, you for info and great video, just want to ask can I plant it now? Late october early november? I want to plant it inside in house with

Awesome video!
Very nice info..thanks...
I have my football Lilly bulb kept in the same container till today.. So should I remove it now?
When should I plant it back for its bloom? In March?
Very glad to know that you are assamese. Thanks for this video and valuable knowledge
@Parbati kitchen, Thank you so so much 😊 Most welcome n thank you once again for watching the video, TC ☺️
Very interesting thank you 😊
Thanku very much. Very informative video.
@Moushumi Ganguly, Thank you so so much, appreciate it :-)
Hello. The bulbs I had sown last year still have foliage. They did not dry out at all. Will they flower this season ? What do i need to do. Please advice.
Thank you Mr. Chandan
You are most welcome Sir Ji :-)
Hi, my aunt gave me a large Blood Lily/Football Lily bulb for Christmas. It was out of her garden. I potted it in slightly acidic soil in December but kept it inside. Once frost was over, around March, I put it outside. I noticed in April it started to wake up 😊, so I began watering it (only when dry) and put it in a warm, bright morning sunlit area on porch. It only sprouted 1 inch of reddish green spotted foliage, then stopped. It hasn't changed in almost a month 😔! Any ideas to why it isn't growing? Any suggestions to get it growing again, please?
Sir,I would like to know how to propogate the fireball lily.I nuderstand that it produces one or two seeds and also multiplies by fivision of the bulbs.
Can you please advise regarding propogation?
THANKS
Nicely explain
Good job
Thank you for all the information was looking desperately for it. The only thing missing is how long do we store it and when to replant it.
Yes..i too want to know..when to replant it?
Sirji mere ghar jo laga wo khil to gaya pr suru me white tha phir red hua abhi pink ho gya ese kese color change ho rahe teji se
Very useful information 👌. After storing big bulbs what to do with small ones. How long we can store bulbs in box. Can we other bulbs like this.
I had one full grown Lili. With time, it dried off. But 3 more sprouts have come up. They are growing high & high with no bud. What do I do with these shoot ups? Do they have separates bulbs under the soil? I did not dare to dig into the soil!
Can we keep bulb in the same pot to bloom next year why we have to dig out the bulb and pot it again
Hello from Denmark. Very informativ video
I have planted 3 Lillys. But there are only comming leafes. No flowers. Any idea why? I have done exactly as in your video

Glad you liked it and thank you very much for your feedback :-)
Very good video. I have 5 football bulbs. Two gave flowers last season. I cut the leaves in October hoping the bulbs will grow bigger but this season no flowers have come till now. Pls guide what to do.

Can I repot my football lily plants in October month? Though it is not flowering but the plant grow bigger...
I have purchased a plant of football lily on 15th May 2023. It is already having two foliage (long and wide leaves). After seeing your video it appears that it has already bloomed but I don't find any sign of spent blooming. Should I wait for blooming this season or next year ? kindly reply. To day is 31st May 2023.
My plant comes up with beautiful leaves but no flowers. What am i doing wrong looks so healthy i just left in pot and did not water.
Thanks for sharing
You are most welcome and thank you so much for watching :-)

I bought from Amazon , bulbs are not health and not spouted flowers.
Where should I buy the health one. Please suggest me
Wonderfully explnd..😊👌
@Soumya Naik, Thank you so much dr, appreciate it :-)

Thank you for the brilliant video. My ball lilies still did not bloom this year but they have very healthy foliage in two tall stems, I am not able to understand what to do, should I cut the foliage or any clue why it did not bloom any flowers this year.
Did you add Bone Meal?
Thanks 🙏
Very pretty
Thanks you for your tips will try. Can i keep the football lily in the pot instead of digging it out? Enjoyed your video very much.
Yes l have mine in pot
After bloom,how many days does it stay as bloom
If only leves come on plant then what can we do
I guess i planted the wrong way😭😭😭as its been few days(6 days) but no sign🧐🧐🧐 i had planted in 5 inches pot and 3 inches deep and cover it.....do you think my bulb is still ok?thank you for video.....wish i had seen sooner
Sir I am from Shillong.can I use cocopit.as you know in Shillong rain is big problem.it is a previlage to hear someone NE rigeon.👍👍👍👍

Where do you buy food all Lilly’s bulb in India?
Is there a lily plant variety, you haven't planted yet?
Eucharis lily?
Great lily collection and sharing it with us.
You are absolutely right...ha ha..I haven't grown Amazon lily (Eucharis lily) yet. Wanted to do..but not available in my place and also online sellers are not much trustworthy. Though, still hunting for it :-)
Glad you liked my Lilies and thank you so much for your feedback, much appreciated!
@@GardeningUpbeat amazon Kraft seeds have eucharis lily bulbs. I got 3 for ₹74.
The bulbs were big and healthy.
I have planted them and have crossed my fingers.
Again you're right can't trust online. As once I got some bulbs of other plant from same brand and they were like hollow and dust.
It's like ending hit and trial.
But nurseries around me aren't that great so sometimes I get from online.
Oh well...that's a good news and thank you for your info..I searched 2 years back, then again last year but couldn't find good deals. Wish you all the best and hope they bloom well, YAY!
>> It's like ending hit and trial.
Ha ha...totally true! Even, I also keep buying plants online and got damaged plants many times. Then again, got exceptionally attractive plants as well like Sandpaper Vine. I think, we can't blame all the sellers for damaged plants. In most cases, long transit time damages the plants. Having said that, there are sellers who just want to scam others..happened with me many times :-( In one case, they sent me red sand while I ordered for Leaf Compost..he he..
Hello. Thank you for the tips. In which month did you plant the bulb? I planted them in feb yet they’ve not grown.
@Rahul, Most welcome Rahul and thank you for watching the video. Well, Feb is bit early. It's the dormancy period and so they are not sprouting yet. I planted in May..but they can be planted anywhere from April - September. They need warm weather to grow and bloom :-) They would sprout soon, just plz be careful while watering.
how i get a flower from a younger footbal?
How to you pollinate it to get seeds?
Sir any video on zee zeeplant. Kindly send link if easy.
In which month we should plant football lily in India?
How to prapogate more bulbs from one
Hello. Love the video. How many bulbs can you plant together in one pot?
Thank you very much for your feedback! In one 8-10 inch pot, we can easily plant 3-4 bulbs together. But, please note that, later we may have to divide them as they would produce new bulbs. Feel free to check out this short video - czcams.com/users/shortsHyjCdB1g24s
There I have already shown it, thank you!
When do football grow in South Africa
Where can I buy it?
Very good video Chandan I can also buy football Lily bulbs and grow them let's hope they can bloom
@Inderpal Singh, Thank you so so much :-) Definitely they would bloom, good luck :-)
Thanks a lot for the video.
My Lillys are grown in beds, I don't remove them from the beds,yet they bloom every year. IS IT NECESSARY TO REMOVE THEM FROM BEDS?
@Darayus Mistry, Most welcome and thank you soooo much for watching :-)
Good to know you have beds and I am sure, it looks amazing!!! No, you don't have to dig up from the soil and we actually don't need to dig up all lilies whenever grown directly in beds. I do it as this way, I can utilize the same pot to grow other plant and less maintenance :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat Thanks a million for your guidance.
🙏
Nice information
Plz tell right conditions for colouful cala lily , rajhnigandha n rain lily. ....I'm from shimla himachal ...
Regards
@preeti s, Thank you so much for the feedback, appreciate it. Calla Lily - Min ideal temperature is 15°C (daytime) and since you are from Himachal, I don't think you have to think about max temperature. In my place average summer temp is around 33-34°C and they do almost well (except few months).
For Rajnigandha n rain lily, Daytime temp min 20°C. They wouldn't bloom if nighttime temp drops below 15°C. My Rajnigandha gave up in the end of Nov and because of low temp it didn't bloom well. Rain Lily was blooming till Dec and then stopped...hope that helps. Thank you :-)
I planted 10 bulbs in April 2023. Mumbai, India. Not a single bulb had flower. But all 10 has nice leaves. We are in September now. Should I expect any flowers now? What should I do next so that i get flowers in 2024?
My plant has finished it's bloom is summer i guess,it was rotting in rain i removed it from pot ,my question is can i store it now in rainy season as i don't have potting soil,and plant it in next year Jan as you did
@Clinton W Dsouza, Sure you can store it and it's great that you already digged up the bulbs. Thank you n good luck :-)
My ball lily leaves have not dried till today (10/03/2021).Its still green since the first bloom in September 2020.What to do? How to make it rebloom? Plz help.
@Madhumita SenGupta, If it's green, no a problem at all and definitely it has produced more bulbs (which is a good news for you). It would bloom soon, it's still bit early!
Found very much interesting. But how to propogate the plant ? How to get more bulb from mother bulb to get more foot ball lily plant ?
Thank you very much :-) They produce more bulbs themselves over time..But to help them, we can take proper care of the plants after flowering. After flowering, they start to produce leaves and that time if we provide good care, like fertilizing on regular basis, they would be able to produce more bulbs much sooner.
hi, i bought online this plant and already have leaves, no flower. its almost 3 moths now but the plant not grow at all. do i need to cut the leaves?
@Black Beauty, The bulbs were not matured one and so it didn't bloom. Sorry to say, they are not going to bloom this year and they would bloom only next year. Normally, they start producing the buds immediately after planting the bulbs in soil. If not, bulbs are not matured enough to produce the bloom. You don't need to cut the leaves...instead you can leave it as it is and bulbs would start getting bigger. That way, you would get the blooms next year. Anyway, Football lily plant looks attractive as they have dark green and unique foliage. Thank you for watching the video :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat i see. thank you. true i bought the medium size. i think the bulb not mature yet

Hi I am in Delhi ,its still quite cold, by mistake 10 days ago i have planted 2 bulbs of football lily, but covered it totally with potting soil. So far there is no sprouting. Please help, thanks
I am in Chennai. I planted 3 bulbs of lily in October/November during winter here.. It has started blooming today.. So don't give up hope 😃
Deheliya tubers seving video upload kijiye plz
@THUG LIFE GAMING PRO, Sure, would do very soon. My Dahlias are still blooming...I would try to do it ASAP somehow...but, procedure is almost same and you can save them similar way, thank you :-) Only one thing - we would need to check periodically and make the cocopeat moist. The tubers dry faster than other bulbs or tubers.
What should i do with rajnigandha flower stick after bloom can i cut....?
@naser ahmed, Sure, you can :-) You can dig up the bulbs now if you like or just keep in the same soil. Plz make sure not to water too much, thank you :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat did it bloom again
What is the maximum temperature football lilies could tolerate or withstand
35c
Should we keep the bulbs for resting? If yes when and for how long?
Winter is a dormancy period and foliage die during this time. So, you can keep the bulb inside soil itself and water once in 15-20 days. But if you want to dig up and store separately, you can do that as well. Then, plant them in the mid to end of April. Good luck!
Is it sesonal plant brother?where i get this plant bulbs ple tell me brother..
@atreyapurapu girija, It's seasonal and best for Summer :-) On Amazon it's available - Gate Garden or Urban Garden (seller names) and I bought from Urban Garden. Hope that helps :-) Here you can find info about more Summer bulbs if you are interested - czcams.com/video/XR6ejftAC7M/video.html
Please tell me the right time of potting football lity..
@susmita chakraborty, From April to September :-) But, it would be better not to wait till September. Thank you for watching the video :-)
When is the best time to plant a bulb?
We are in Tamilnadu. So there is no winter season here
April-May is the best time to plant the bulbs..good luck :-)
What is the flowering season of football lily ?
Summer Ma'am..and best time to plant the bulbs is April Mid-End - May, good luck!
Sir thank you for the informative video. I planted my football lily bulb in February but it is now more than a month. There is no sign of germination
@Sujatha Gopal, Most welcome and thank you very much for your feedback, appreciate i. Well, FEB is bit early as they are Summer bulb. They need warm temperature to sprout and so it's not sprouting yet. Feb end is ideal time to sow summer flower seeds, but not the Bulbs. Anyway, you don't have to worry. It would sprout very soon. But for time being, plz avoid over watering. It's okay even if you water in 10-15 days. You can water more when you see it's starting to sprout. Imp Note - for all bulbs (after sprouting), we should water only when top soil dries out. Hope that helps, thank you :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat thank you...
Should we cut the dried flower ??
@Smitha Dsa, Sure, you can do that but they are not going to bloom again this year again (like most other lilies) Thank you for watching the video :-)
From where i can get bulbs
@Atul Kumar, It's available on Amazon and I bought from here - www.amazon.in/Football-lily-pack-four-bulbs/dp/B07B7C18HP/
Sr btao isko online kasa mangvaye plz sr plz plzzzzzzzzz🙏🙏🙏🙏
@Fatima Tanzem, Sure I would do and I would appreciate if you don't call me Sr :-) I got it from here - www.amazon.in/gp/product/B07B7C18HP/
When to plant the football lily bulb in india?which month to be precise?
@Sulagna Chakraborty, we can plant anywhere in between from April - September. I just shared my fresh bloom on my Instagram account just few days back. Thank you 😊
@@GardeningUpbeat thank u so much fr the prompt reply
Can we leave it in the soil.
@Vijayalakshmi Balaji, Sure we can :-) Anyway, this is not only for Football Lily. We can leave all lilies in soil and they would sprout at right time. But many want to dig up them and store separately :-) Thank you for watching the video :-)
Will the bulb die if i don't take it out
No, they won't. They are very hardy and if we are growing in pots, watering them once in 15-20 days (in winter or in dormancy period) is more than sufficient. I would upload one video (within next 2 days) with some more details, thank you!
How often does the lilly bloom?
@Yvonne Hamilton, Only once in a Season (Summer) and most of the lilies do the same :-) I mean, bloom only once in a season :-)
loved itt
@Samira de Jesus Martins, Glad to know and thank you so much for watching the video :-)
It's been more than 2yrs and I'm still waiting for the bloom😥
Plantation of football lily is winter... isn't it? Please tell exact month of plantation of bulb
@susmita chakraborty, It's Summer actually and we can plant them from March end-April to August-September. Thank you for watching the video :-)
Sir,
I want to know can we plant the bulb of football lily in FEB to get the flower in May. But while answering questions you have pointed out April- Aug- September. Please clarify.
Where can i buy that plant?
@Mary Grace Lustre, You would get it in any local garden center or online :-) Thank you for watching the video :-)
Sir can I grow them in the month of June or rainy season?
Best time to plant the bulb is after Holi. It is also called as May Flower because it will bloom in may
@@shrishmokadam9628 will growing in late April work?
@@aditis.1539 plant now, it’ll bloom
Does it bloom only once?
Yes..like most lilies, bloom only once in a year. Thank you!
Does it bloom only once
Yes...like most of the Lilies, it blooms only once a year..
This s also called as fireball due to its appearance...
@Hema Palanivel, Yah, you are absolutely right, thank you for your input :-)
