For Xmas I Received One Of Those "Lily Bulbs In A Box Kit"...
Advertisements [?]
... it had everything needed to grow a BEAUTIFUL red lily bulb: the bulb, peat moss soil, a plastic pot, and instruction on how to get started.

I followed the instructions and it grew SIX gorgeous blooms. After the last bloom faded, I cut back the flower stalk, but left the leaves. I keep the soil moist, but now it's just sitting there... holding its own, not growing, not dying, not blooming, it's just "there".

What do I need to do to make it bloom again? Will it "automatically" bloom, or do I need to do something special. I seem to recall hearing that with flowering bulbs, the gardener should dig it up and put the bulb in the refrigerator (supposedly this is to fool the bulb into thinking that it's winter so that it will bloom early when you take it out of the refrigerator... but I don't know if this is true.)

Has anyone had any luck with these things?
