Although the Alsca lily is partially hardy, a long, harsh winter usually means its end. Since the course of a winter is usually unpredictable, you should take precautions and provide your Alstroemeria with suitable winter quarters.
How do I overwinter Alsca lilies correctly?
To overwinter Alsca lilies successfully, place them in frost-free rooms at ideal temperatures of 12-15°C. Reduce watering and fertilizing at lower temperatures and harden plants from early May before planting in the garden.
Winter care for the Alsca lily
Even in winter quarters, the Alsca lily requires a minimum of care. Temperatures between 12 and 15 °C are ideal, but it can also be colder. The lower the temperatures, the less water and fertilizer your plant needs. Before you plant the Alsca lily back in the garden in May, you should harden it off a little.
