Oh my, Easter lily is turning yellow and dying, repotted a month ago and getting moderate light?

Lillies spend a great chunk of the year dormant.





If yours was a gift, then it was "forced", or started on it's flowering cycle earlier than i it had just been planted outside.





Could be it's just "done" and going dormant. If you live in a zone where it does well outside, I would plant it directly in the garden. It will go dormant rapidly after you transplant, but the bulb will still be growing. Put some bulb food or bone meal in the hole when you plant so t will have good nutrients.





Then, with luck, it will reappear next spring, and flower. (The flowering will happen much latter than it when it flowered in a pot in the house).
