Estimating bloom time for stargazer lily
Bloom time for Oriental lilies
Timing Stargazer lilies to bloom on schedule for a special occassion can be difficult. Here is a general rule of thumb you can follow:
Stargazer lilies are Oriental hybrid cultivars. Start the bulbs at 55-60F for the first 1-2 weeks. At this time roots and stems will beging to grow. Once the lily emerges from the soil, increase the temperature to 65-68F. Start fertilizing and be sure to provide adequate light (16hrs per day) . From this point it takes 30 days to see a bud and another 45 days from visible bud to bloom. You have a 15 day ‘window of adjustment’ if the plant isn’t growing fast enough or too slow. To speed up raise the temperature and to slow down -lower the temps. Another source recommends approximately 15 weeks at 65FÂ or 100-110 days of greenhouse days @65F. “Mona Lisa’ cultivar requires 13 weeks.
Hi I have a lot of Starglazers one of my favorites, this year the flowers have turned brown before popping open. Where the brown is on the flower, when it opens its eaten threw the petals. I have never ever had this happen before. They are getting plenty of sun and water. Help please

Bought stargate lilies that cam e from Holland
I live in the Aruba, since I reached home with them the are shedding leaves like crazy.
All the flowers are open now but I’m afraid they will die.
We have a stargazer that has bloomed without fail for years. This year the leaves are healthy and gorgeous but it will not produce a flower. All the others in are neighborhood are flowering. What’s up? Thanks.t
Why have my white Casa Blanca lilies turned orange
how to make Stargazer lily to bloom
I plant Lily about 1 year but it’s not flowering.
Why?
too much watering or else.,
Lily Died prematurely
All the hot weather, heat and no rain has actually killed my stargazer lily. Its actually brown and wilted. Is there anything I can do to bring her back to life?
re-plant stargazer lilies
Is it too late to re-plant my Stargazer lilies after it had already bloomed once? The site I chose gather water after a heavy rain but it does drain quick enough. We’re just afraid that it’s not helping the lilies. Is it still possible to raise the bed of the lily? If so, what’s the best practice?
do you cut the stem of a stargazer lilly once the flower dies to get another bloom?
Is there something I can do to force my stargazer lillies buds to bloom quickly. They are nice and big and pink (almost ready to bloom). I was hoping to give them as a gift tomorrow.
Aphids
Hi there,
I revived a stargazer lily over winter. I had a few run in’s with aphids.
They leave, and come back, leave and come back. My lily looks like she wants to bloom, but now I am afraid of the aphids getting her. Should I repot my lily in order to keep her alive?
I am getting married in july and wanted to start some stargazers and gladiolus indoors I live in Sacramento CA, I wanted to know the gestation peroid for lilies and what to do to make them grow happy and healthy in time for the wedding. Thanks .
