How to fertilize American Tiger Lily

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your American Tiger Lily after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Lilium buds did not bloom Hi! I was given this Lilium Hybrid a month ago and it already had the buds starting. Now they have not bloomed at all and they are all brown. The leaves are still green and healthy. I have fertilised it and put it in a spot with direct sunlight. Still none of them bloomed. Any advice would be really appreciated! #LiliumHybrid #PlantTherapy #FloweringPlants

Is it okay for my Easter lily to have a yellow bulb My Easter lily has a yellow bulb, but still looks healthy. She had some rot, but it was promptly removed. Do you think she will survive?

Might be dying? I’m a new plant mom who desperately wants a ton of plants and lacks the geeen thumb, lol! The label on these says to water when dry below surface. I’m just wondering if too much sunlight can harm them also? I have since brought the flowers in to hopefully start looking lively again! I’ll take any advice I can get. :)
