Lilies are native to the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with main distribution areas including East Asia, Europe, and North America. There are many varieties of lilies, such as the fox tail lily, fragrant lily, and musk lily. Lilies not only have a variety of species and a fragrant aroma but also have medicinal value. They are good for relieving coughs, moisturizing the lungs, calming the mind, and soothing the nerves. That's why more and more flower farmers choose to plant lilies. Next, let's learn about the planting methods of lilies from the aspects of planting time, planting techniques, and post-planting care.
I. Planting Time
Lilies are suitable for planting in spring and autumn, approximately from March to April or August to September every year because the climatic conditions of spring and autumn are in line with the growth habits of lilies. In spring and autumn, there is ample sunlight but the light is soft and won't burn the leaves; the temperature is moderate, not causing leaf yellowing due to high temperatures, nor frost damage due to low temperatures; the amount of rainfall also meets the growth needs of lilies.
II. Planting Techniques
1. Pot
Lilies do not have high requirements for pots. Ordinary plastic or gallon pots can be used. Pay attention to the appropriate size, usually an opening of 22cm-24cm can plant three.
2. Soil
Lilies prefer slightly acidic soil rich in humus, with deep soil layers and good drainage and aeration. The soil pH should be between 5.5-6.5. Before planting lilies, the soil should be disinfected to prevent infections.
3. Bulbs
Lily bulbs should be thawed and disinfected in an environment of 10-25 degrees Celsius before planting. When planting, the original roots of the bulbs should be cut off to promote the growth of new roots. In addition, attention should be paid to the spacing between the plants when planting, not too dense to affect sunlight.
III. Post-Planting Care
1. Watering and Fertilizing
After planting lilies, it is necessary to water them on time, controlling the amount of water to keep the soil moist; fertilize every 15 days, preferably using organic or compound fertilizers.
2. Sunlight.
Lilies in the growing stage need more sunlight, but attention should be paid to the duration and intensity of sunlight. In summer, too strong direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent burning the leaves and affecting the appearance.
