My Easter Lilies are growing green sprouts along their stems. Is this good or bad? What are the best steps to be taken after this?


These are stem bulblets. Many lilies have these small bulbs form on the stem during the growing season. Some are right at the surface of the soil and others are deeper in the soil on the stem above the main bulb. Nothing you need to do now. In the fall after the stem has died back you can carefully remove these and plant them somewhere else or you can just leave them but I would recommend you add some mulch over them to protect them in winter.
