    I live in vancouver. I received an easter lily as a gift, it was planted in a 4 gallon pot. The flowers already died and the leaves are starting to turn brown or black, am afraid it will start to die. Do you know if I need to transplant them in order for them to live? What should I do with them? Thanks

    I plant mine outdoors in the ground when the weather warms and they come back each year. Maybe with yours the soil is staying too wet which can cause black leaves, other reasons, chilled/cold air, over-fed.
    I would take the bulb(s) out of the pot and check for rot, the bulbs should feel nice and firm, Take off all the soil around the bulbs and plant it outside in a sunny, to partial sunny area.
