Gloriosa Lily Care

Gloriosa lily tubers should be planted in full sun in soil that is rich and well drained. Position the tubers horizontally, about two to four inches deep. (Planting deeper will produce shorter vines and more erect plants). Provide a trellis for the plant to climb. Keep the plants evenly moist during the growing season. Fertilizing will prompt larger flowers as well as more vegetative growth.

In cold winter regions, gloriosa lily is grown as an annual, Or, it can also be planted in containers that can be buried up to the ground for the growing season, then dug up and stored in a protected area for the winter. The tubers can also be carefully dug up at the end of the growing season, stored for winter, then replanted in the spring.

Light

Gloriosa lily grows in full sun to partial shade. Especially in hot, dry climates, it does better with some protection from the hot afternoon sun, such as dappled shade from nearby taller plants. Shadier conditions might reduce flowering.

Soil

The soil should be rich and provide excellent drainage. Sandy or loamy soil are best. To enrich the soil, amend it with organic matter. Gloriosa lily grows well in neutral to slightly acidic soil.

Water

Gloriosa lily needs even moisture during the growing season from spring to fall. In the absence of rain, water it regularly while making sure there is good drainage, so the plant never sits in soggy, wet soil.

Temperature and Humidity

In its native environment, gloriosa lily grows at elevations up to 2,000 feet, where the daytime temperature is moderate, around 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and nights are cool, around 60 degrees Fahrenheit. As a garden plant, it will do best in similar circumstances. Gloriosa lily does not do well in hot, arid climates. In high humidity, on the other hand, gloriosa lily is in its element think of the monsoon seasons common to its native habitat.

Fertilizer

Fertilize gloriosa lily about once a month with a diluted complete fertilizer during the growing season, less frequently when the soil is very rich. Too much fertilizer will not necessarily lead to a better bloom and can instead encourage the growth of foliage at the expense of flowers.
