My lily plants are staring to look burnt? Help?

The leaves on my two lily plants are dying on the ends and turning brown. I water thoroughly once a week. They are in the living room and get some light but not tons. What is causing this and how can I help them?

It sounds like the nutrients in the soil have depleted.


To jump start the soil, use 4 evenly placed plant spikes (nitrogen spikes) in the soil. After about a month, use granulated fertilizer according to the manufactures instructions to maintain the nutrient level of the soil.


Another option is to replant. Purchase some potting soil, pull the plant out of the pot, carefully remove as much soil from the roots without damaging the roots, and replant. This will provide immediate results.
Reply:hey girl, you probably already know this, but just incase. you mentioned you have a great dog.


did you know that some or most lily plants are poison. And dogs and cats have been know to eat them..and the end result is deadly..you didn't mention what type of lily. F.Y.I Report It

Reply:I think you may be over-watering. Too much water can kill a plant faster than not enough. Allow the soil to dry thoroughly before watering again.
Reply:they don't last forever. cut them down and mulch well.
