3. Divide the spider lily plants. If desired, you can divide the plants into smaller clumps. This will help them to multiply and spread.
4. Prepare the planting site. Choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade. The soil should be well-drained and fertile. Amend the soil with compost or fertilizer.
5. Plant the spider lily plants. Dig holes large enough to accommodate the roots of the plants. Set the plants in the holes and backfill with soil. Water the plants thoroughly.
