Hi there,<\/p>\n

Thank you for your message and for growing your lilies in pots \u2014 it sounds like you\u2019re doing a fantastic job!<\/p>\n

1. Tomato Feed for Lilies:<\/strong>
When we mention tomato feed<\/em> on our website, we\u2019re referring to a liquid high-potassium fertiliser, such as Tomorite or any other standard tomato fertiliser. These are ideal for lilies as they encourage strong, healthy flower production. We recommend applying it once every 1\u20132 weeks during the growing season (from early leaf growth until flowering finishes).<\/p>\n

2. Using 13-13-13 Fertiliser:<\/strong>
A balanced slow-release fertiliser like 13-13-13 is also perfectly suitable for lilies, especially after flowering when the bulbs are replenishing their energy. Apply around 1 to 2 teaspoons per 10-inch (25cm) pot, lightly worked into the surface. Be sure to water well afterwards. Avoid overfeeding, as too much fertiliser can damage the bulbs or lead to excessive leafy growth at the expense of flowers.<\/p>\n
