Lily planting is usually done in spring and autumn when the climate is mild and suitable for lily growth. Generally speaking, planting lilies requires seed germination treatment, soil disinfection, as well as formal sowing and later maintenance. Let's take a detailed look at the planting techniques of lilies.
1. Planting Time
Lilies are suitable for planting in spring and autumn, usually in March of spring and August to September of autumn. The climates during these two periods are pleasant, with moderate and stable temperatures, which are very suitable for the growth needs of lilies, resulting in a relatively high survival rate for the plants.
2. Seed Treatment
Select lily seeds that are vigorous and plump, clean them thoroughly, and place them in a container with rooting hormone, soaking for about 20 minutes. Then take them out and place them in a well-ventilated area to dry. Cover the seeds with gauze, place them in prepared moist sandy soil, spray a small amount of water every day, and keep the temperature around 24 degrees Celsius. It will take about 15-20 days for the seeds to root and germinate.
3. Preparing the Soil
Lilies require loose, fertile, and well-ventilated soil, and sandy soil is a good choice. Spray the soil with a disinfectant liquid formalin to kill germs, then cover the soil with plastic film. Remove the plastic film after 5-7 days and let it dry in a well-ventilated area before use.
4. Sowing and Planting
Plant the germinated seedlings in the prepared soil at a distance of 15-20 centimeters for transplanting. Use soil to cover and secure the area around the roots. Trim any overly long plant seedlings in time, and then proceed with planting. After sowing, place the seedlings in a sunny location, water moderately, and keep the soil moist.
The introduction above on how to plant lily seeds and the specific introduction of the timing and methods of planting lily seeds are hoped to bring some flower knowledge to green plant enthusiasts.
