Lily is a beautiful perennial herb flower that is very popular in flower beds. Its elegance and nobility are irresistible. However, the cultivation and maintenance of lilies require us to pay more attention to achieve the best planting effect. Let's explore the conservation methods of lilies below!
Soil selection When selecting soil, it is best to choose fertile, breathable, and well-drained peat soil or sandy loam soil. At the same time, you can add decomposed organic fertilizers to provide nutrients.
Adequate sunshine lily requires sufficient sunshine for photosynthesis, so when choosing a planting location, you should choose a place with sufficient sunshine, shelter from wind, and good drainage for cultivation.
Suitable temperature for
Lilians like warm climate, and the most suitable temperature for growth is 15-30℃. In a humid and low-temperature environment, Lilians will appear yellowing, wilting and other conditions.
Moderate watering of lilies requires higher water, but should not be over-watered, otherwise it will cause root rot. When watering, keep the soil moist but not too moist, just water once a week.
Fertilization method During lily growth, liquid fertilizer can be applied every 2 weeks, or homemade organic fertilizer can be used. However, the amount of fertilizer application must be moderate. Too much fertilizer will lead to excessive growth and affect the flowering period.
The depth and distance of the
should be controlled. The planting depth of lily should be about twice the diameter of the seed balls, and the distance between the seed balls should be maintained at about 15-20 cm.
Handling dead leaves and dead stems During the growth process, some dead leaves and dead stems will appear in lily. At this time, they should be removed in time to avoid bacterial growth and infection.
Preventing and controlling pests and diseases lily is vulnerable to aphids and spider mites, so we need to carry out timely prevention and control, and we can use organic pesticides or red stone sulfur to spray it.
Control of flowering The flowering period of lily is generally between May and July. When flowers bloom, attention should be paid to removing them in time to maintain the nutrient balance of the plant and also promote the accumulation of nutrients in the plant.
Maintain air circulation When cultivating lilies, be sure to maintain good ventilation to avoid the growth and infection of bacteria and fungi. Open windows for ventilation every morning and evening.
Regular pruning During lily growth, appropriate pruning can be carried out to adjust the shape of the plant and promote growth, but care should be taken not to over-pruning affects normal growth.
Reasonable ball digging When winter comes, lily balls should be dug up in time for storage, and at the same time, a layer of protective soil should be covered around the balls for maintenance.
Appropriate collocation When planting lilies, you also need to pay attention to its collocation with other plants to avoid competition and affect growth.
Regular loosening of soil During the growth process, regular loosening of soil is needed to maintain soil permeability and drainage, and is conducive to nutrient absorption and root growth.
The maintenance of lilies requires us to consider all aspects, from soil selection to fertilization methods, from pruning techniques to pest control, only all-round attention and meticulous care can allow lilies to bloom vigorously on flower beds.
