Everyone loves flowers that are easy to grow, and if they're beautiful too, that's even better. I wonder if you've ever grown rain lilies (Zephyranthes)? They're just that kind of flower with no special requirements for soil or climate, blooming several times a year with a flowering period longer than many other flowers. Many beginners say this flower is just too easy to grow.

Rain lilies are, as you'd imagine, planted in patches like this, blooming once with each rainstorm - quite a spectacular sight. Because they multiply very quickly, one bulb can be divided into several pots the following year. Gardeners who have grown them probably know this from experience - in no time, within a year or two, the balcony almost can't hold them all.

If growing rain lilies in pots, it's best to plant the bulbs densely, so the flowers look even more beautiful when they bloom. Rain lilies come in a very rich variety of colors, and if you plant different colors of rain lilies intermixed, they have extremely high ornamental value.

Rain lilies are most suitable as potted flowers at home, requiring no special care each year, with their delicate leaves to enjoy year-round, and a single rainstorm can bring forth a large expanse of blooms.

Rain lilies can bloom many times a year. If your rain lilies aren't blooming, it might be that they're not getting enough sunlight, or their nutrition is lacking. You might want to try using some nutrient solution.

Besides growing them in pots, rain lilies can also be planted in any idle open space at home, because they have no special requirements for soil and will bloom abundantly before long. Rain lily bulbs are quite cheap too, usually sold by the jin, so interested gardeners might as well give them a try.
