Rain Lily | How to grow from bulb| Plant care| 

Growing Rain Lilies (Zephyranthes spp.) from bulbs is a straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. **Select a Planting Site**: Choose a location with full sun to partial shade. Rain lilies thrive in both garden beds and containers.
2. **Prepare the Soil**: Ensure the soil is well-draining. If the soil is heavy or clay-like, amend it with compost or sand to improve drainage.
3. **Planting Depth and Spacing**: Plant the bulbs about 1-2 inches deep, with the pointed end facing up. Space the bulbs about 2-3 inches apart to allow for growth and proper air circulation.
4. **Watering**: After planting, water the bulbs thoroughly to help them settle into the soil. Rain lilies are drought-tolerant but benefit from regular watering, especially during dry periods.
5. **Mulching**: Apply a thin layer of mulch around the bulbs to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
6. *Fertilizing* (Optional): Rain lilies don’t require much fertilization, but you can apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and blooming.
7. **Growth and Care**: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Rain lilies are known for blooming after rain, so ensure they get enough water during dry spells to mimic this condition.
8. **Winter Care**: In colder climates, where temperatures drop below freezing, dig up the bulbs after the foliage dies back in the fall. Store them in a cool, dry place over winter and replant them in spring.
Tips:
- Rain lilies often bloom in response to rain or watering after a dry period.
- They are relatively pest-free but watch out for snails and slugs.
- Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms and prevent self-seeding.
With proper care, rain lilies will reward you with beautiful, delicate flowers throughout the growing season.
