      Best advice on succulents is to ignore them. Lily’s can be fickle, depends on the weather, water, and climate. Plants grow down, some spread horizontally like Lilly’s as well as up. Sexual reproduction is not always the best strategy, if you’re a plant.

        I know nothing about plants and their sexual reproduction. That’s probably why they always die 😔

        One of the issues is root rot. People tend to over water. The other problem is that potting spoil is made to dry out, and it dry’s out quickly. So often plants will then die because the soil can’t hold water worth a damn. The best thing to do is mix half potting soil with garden or top soil. This will make the soil a happy medium. Needing water every 2 to a week’s depending on the season and your climate.
