How to Care for the Plant

Container
Growing Orange Lily in a container, opt for a pot that is slightly bigger than the plant’s root ball. The Lily is a bulbous plant, so it doesn’t need much space to grow. However, it’s important to choose a deep pot, as the roots emerging from the bulb grow down. The pot should be made of unglazed ceramic, preferably, and contain at least one draining hole to prevent overwatering.
Fun fact
Interestingly, Orange Lily has a cultural significance. This flower was recognized as a symbol of the Orange Order, a royal institution. Orange Order is an international protestant order based in Northern Ireland with lodges in England and Scotland.
