Fertilizing winter overed Princess Lily

13 years ago

Hi ....noticed quite a long thread on wintering over these Alstroemeria started by luv2gro in 2006. I have several pots that wintered over for me in a combo of enclosed porch and coolish basement. The plants are lush with first support stems and I've pulled out a third of them. Am waiting for bloom stems to appear. My plants are in soiless mix.

What do you recommend for fertilizer?

Thanks

Nope, she's a busy girl right now. I've tried to get her and Sharon to come back, but they haven't. Maybe you can find info somewhere else - i've never grown alstromeria so i can't help you. Sorry!

I fertilize mine when I do the rest of the pots. Once a week.

And I should add that they will do better if replanted.
