i dont know the name of this bulb... yet its main stem dried off and now its is sprouting baby plants from its sides and also from soil.
what to do now as the main stem has dried off and what are its keeping conditions in summer i mean he sun water etc?

i am sorry i couldnt upload the pic properly, but i googled the pic from google and checked its name.. it is lilium asiatic madras.
now i want to know how to save the bulb after it has flowered and its growing conditions in summer. thanks

zainab if its lilium then it must have corm in the bottom just like Garlic having scales on it, if they have bulblets on the stem then it means you provided them healthy conditions to grow

It’s their dormant time means sleep time they will have a deep sleep for couple of months
During that time they don’t need water and light
Important point is that they cant survive without soil because their roots don’t die back
So you need to keep them in soil
Dig them up very carefully and separate the bulblet/offsets
Mother bulb will die but just in case keep it with the bulblets
Plant them separately in pots in a medium that provide good drainage
Keep them secure from heat of upcoming months
You can keep them indoor or it’s better to put them in dark cool place
Don’t water them at all but if it gets too dry water them a little
When we say dry means really dry and when we say water them a little means really little bit
You can bring them back to normal conditions in September and water them
They will start sprouting and will break the dormancy

Following are couple of pics to give you a better idea
and I hope this will help
