Lilies are relatively common flowering plants in life and have high ornamental value, so they are deeply loved by people. Many people cultivate them at home, but there are also many people who don't know how to care for lilies. In fact, it is not difficult to grow lilies well; you just need to be patient with the maintenance. Next, let's follow the editor to learn about the cultivation methods and precautions for lilies.
【One, how to care for lilies】
Lilies are plants of the temperate zone, preferring to grow in dark and humid environments and are also relatively cold-resistant. They can even continue to grow in very low-temperature environments. Therefore, if people want to grow lilies well at home, they first need to understand the growth habits of lilies and then take corresponding actions.
Generally speaking, just keeping it in the living room and watering and fertilizing appropriately can allow the lily to fully absorb nutrients, so it can bloom again quite quickly. However, it is important to note that excessive watering or fertilizing can have a negative effect on the plant and may even cause it to die.
【Two, the cultivation methods of lilies】
<1. Light requirements>
Potted lilies have different light requirements at different growth stages. Perfume lilies should be shaded during the budding stage, and appropriate shading can also be done when the leaf temperature is too high. In other growth stages, strong light is needed, especially when the flowers enter the development stage.
<2. Water and fertilizer management>
How to care for lilies
Lilies have low requirements for water and fertilizer. Watering should not be excessive; the soil should be kept moist, and lilies can be sprayed with water to increase humidity, with 60%~80% being ideal. The amount of fertilizer for lilies is also small, fertilizing once every half month is enough, with top-dressing needed during the flowering period to promote blooming. They require more nitrogen and potassium fertilizer and relatively less phosphorus fertilizer.
<3. Soil selection>
Lilies require well-draining soil that does not compact easily. A sandy loam soil rich in humus, deep and loose, capable of maintaining some moisture while also draining well is best. Clay soil should never be used to plant lilies, as it can easily lead to excessive water accumulation, so everyone should be very careful.
<4. Pruning and maintenance>
If you want lilies to last longer, you need to pay attention to pruning, as the stems can rot if they are soaked in water for a long time. Daily pruning is necessary to keep the water absorption points fresh, allowing the lily to absorb fresh water and nutrients every day. The pruning length doesn't need to be too long, about one centimeter is fine.
