The white rain lily is a popular, easy-to-grow flowering plant that is easy on the eye, making it a favourite among gardeners. The simplest way to propagate the plant is through bulbs, planted vertically and three inches into the soil, while following basic planting guidelines.

As the white rain lily flower blooms during and after the rainy season, its bulbs are planted three to four months before the arrival of the monsoon, to ensure flowering coincides with the rain. The bulbs should be sown in a cluster of three to four bulbs, placed in a four-inch container, which results in voluminous growth and a lush display. When planting the bulb, a good ratio is one part compost and four parts well-drained nursery soil.

Soon enough, the shiny green leaves begin to sprout. These long and slender dark-green leaves resemble those of bunching onions........
