About Spider Lily Flower Bulbs (White)

Spider Lily (Hymenocallis littoralis), also known as Beach Spider Lily or White Spider Lily, is a breathtaking perennial valued for its delicate white blooms that resemble spider legs. It thrives in Indian climates and suits home gardens, balconies, and terraces well.

How to Plant

1. Select firm, healthy bulbs without visible mold or damage.
2. Soak bulbs in lukewarm water for 2-4 hours for faster sprouting.
3. Use well-draining soil with organic matter like compost and river sand.
4. Place the bulb 2-3 inches deep, keeping the tip slightly exposed.
5. Water gently after planting; avoid overwatering.
6. Keep in partial sunlight with temperatures between 20-30°C for germination.

Light, Water & Soil

• Light: Partial to full sunlight, 4-6 hours daily.
• Water: Keep soil moist but not waterlogged; water every 2-3 days in summer.
• Soil: Well-drained loamy or sandy soil, slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0).
• Containers: Use a 10-12 inch deep pot with drainage holes; in garden beds, space bulbs 12-15 inches apart.

Planting Season & Blooming

Ideal planting time is post-monsoon (September-November) or early summer (February-April). Bulbs typically take 6-8 weeks to bloom after planting.

Care & Pruning

• Use organic compost or NPK 10-10-10 fertilizer once a month.
• Remove dried leaves and spent flowers for new blooms; use neem oil spray to prevent aphids and mealybugs.
• Mulch around the plant in colder regions for winter protection.
