My Easter Lily is resprouting - what should I do?

2 months ago

Last year I noticed someone in my complex threw away an Easter Lily in the original container abd wrapping from the store.. there were a few brow leaves but the stalk and most flowers looked beautiful so I took it to see if I could care for it. It dyed off slowly and I took the dead leaves off and cut the stalk down to soil level once it was super dead and brown...now almost a year later I've kept up with mild watering but never got to replant or anything and I have shoots sprouting up and even a "flower head" (i think) what should I do...should I leave it alone and let it do its thing. Should I remove the old brown stalk..should I replant it.. help please this is my 1st time growing a lily. Also, I live in Arizona and in a condo so I can't plant in the ground. Been moving it in the mini sun rays that hit my balcony and I move inside when it gets super cold.

Cut off anything dead, fertilize periodically. I live in the se where we just plonk them in the ground and they naturalize…

it is a perennial.. there is a perennial forum ... and a houseplant ... and a houseplant forum ....

it apparently need a period of full dormancy.. so it browned and died to the ground...

and now that it is spring.. meaning the sun intensity is increasing.. it has come out of dormancy ...

give us some pix.. and some information about whether it is indoors or out.. where you are if outside.. big city name ... etc.. you really havent given us many facts...

my houseplants get a very weak water soluble fert with every watering.. perhaps 10% at best ...

in my MI.. this should have been planted in the garden .... it may not bloom for lack of light if indoors... and it probably wont bloom at easter.. as it was probably forced to bloom for the holiday ...

can you give us a few pix...
