They do best in night temperatures of 40-50 degrees and day temperatures of 68 degrees or lower. Keep moist until the foliage matures and feed monthly with a standard house plant fertilizer until the buds show color. Lilies are difficult to keep indoors more than one season, so plant them out doors as soon as the temperature remains above 40 degrees at night.

Lilies grown from seed take about four years to reach flowering size.
