lilies have "direction" to their growth. when potted the back end is up against one

find any mud to push a fert pellet down into the muck. a year old lily usually wont
need to be repotted. Ingrid

Thanks. From what you're saying, I think this one does need repotting.
I set it in one corner growing across the pot last year and it made it
all the way across. It's sending leaves out from the very corner of its
container. The growing season is very long here - that probably makes a
difference. I think it has an offshoot because I saw the little
underwater leaves from more than one place. I'll see how big it is when
I pull it out of the pot to replant.
