Did you allow it to go dormant during winter?
Skipping dormancy and low light, flowering plants need more than a north facing window. Creates short flowers because they don't have the energy to produce the long typical flowers.

There is nothing you can do for these flowers to make room. But I'll give you a couple of tips.

1. Prune them off when they start to die, you don't want it to go to seed that uses too much energy.

2. Increase light you want 12 hours a day. Supplement with a grow light if you have to that will help is create more energy through photosynthesis. Without enough light they lack energy.

2. Make sure she goes dormant through winter it's required so she can store energy for next years bloom. Think of it like a bear that hibernates. You want the same thing for a bush lily.

@SuperbRaspfern Thanks so much! Iโ€™m a newbie plant parent, and I didnโ€™t know about dormancy until now. I really appreciate the advice! Excited for dormancy this winter and see what happens next spring/summer. ๐Ÿ˜Š
