    I am not sure why my plant is doing this or if its normal.
    I bought this tiger lily 3 weeks ago, its been slowly yellowing up from the bottom and I want to stop it and help it if i can.
    Also, once the flowers bloom and the petals fall off, what should I do with it.
    There were no care instructions that came with the plant.
    I leave it in the sun light, and don't over water it. I attached a photo.
    My POOR plant...

    Possibly virused, lilies are quite prone to these. Flowers look a little abnormal, but maybe the structure shown here is a characteristic of the cultivar. It's also very short, perhaps treated with height retardant.

    Tiger lily (Lilium tigrinum) is a different kind. This is some kind of hybrid, maybe an Asiatic Hybrid.

    Maybe lack of natural light. It will eventually go into a dormant period.

    It is way to cold still to let them sit outside, it sits by the patio door all day.
    How would i help it if it has a virus?
    Its about a foot tall.
