Lilium lancifolium flaviflorum

I need some advice please regarding these Lilium bulbils. I bought the plant on a members stand and the flowers had just finished. I picked all the bulbils off and planted them on 2.8.15. I recently looked in the garage where seed pots are stored and saw this wonderful potful.
My problem is what shall I do with them now?
Leave as they are? Pot up singly?
Any advice would be welcome.

Hi Shelagh,
I'd opt for treating them as one year old seedlings and keep them growing for as long as possible (judicial use of "tomato" fertilizer) and divide them up when they go dormant in the autumn or early the following spring,

Why grow one bulb when you can grow two:-))

I agree with Fermi, to disturb them now may lead to damaging their roots far better to add some dilute feed every time you water them. A sprinkle of potassium in a months time will also help build the bulbs which can be planted out when they go dormant.
