I recently ordered ten lily trees. I have to grow them in pots though. Right now i am thinking about using ten gallon pots. Can these be grown in pots? What is everyones experience with growing them in containers?

Lily trees? Do you mean tall lilium?

Oh, OK I had to look them up, never heard the term lily trees.
Moving this to the Lily forum.

I think every lily can be grown in pots but they will do better directly in the soil especially these tall ones.

Hi MiamiU
Remember lilium like roots in shade, head in the sun. I am growing lilies in pots for years. They usually do well as long as they don't get overwatered.

I received my bulbs, but alot look all dried up. Whats a healthy orienpet bulb look like?

Can you post some photos of your bulbs so we can see them?

In growing lilies in pots there are a few things to consider:
1)You don't want a mix too heavy in peat moss. Those mixes tend to stay wet too long and the bulbs don't do well.
2)No matter what mix, you don't want to over water.
3) You want to use a larger pot so the bulb can be planted at the proper depth and so the pot won't tip over when they get as tall as they do.
4)Planting shallow growing annuals, as a "ground cover" can help shade lily roots in the pot.
