An introduction to the fragrance of fragrant lilies and the key points of lily cultivation, the editor will introduce to netizens next.
The lily, known as the "cloud-clad fairy" by flower enthusiasts, symbolizes "eternal love and harmony" and is widely used in weddings, Valentine's Day, couple dates, and birthdays. Fragrant lilies are especially fragrant, bloom for a long time, and immediately become popular in the home flower market, winning the love of flower enthusiasts. However, many beginners and some flower enthusiasts are not very clear on how to care for lilies. Here are some good methods and precautions for planting lilies.
I. Lilies do not have high requirements for soil, but it is best to use slightly acidic fertile mixed soil as the substrate. Mix humus soil, river sand, and organic cake fertilizer in a ratio of 4:2:1. The root system of lilies is very developed, so when choosing a pot, use a slightly larger pot. Cover the bottom drainage hole of the pot with curved broken tiles or pottery pieces, and then place ceramsite as a drainage layer. The planting depth of the lily bulb should be 15-20 cm from the surface soil layer.
II. Lilies require a lot of water; the potting soil should be kept moist to promote germination, but be careful not to waterlog, as long-term waterlogging can easily cause bulb rot and death. Water once every 1-2 days in spring and autumn, once a day in summer, avoiding the hottest part of the day. Water once every 3-5 days in winter to keep the soil moist, but avoid overwatering. During the plant's vigorous growth period, apply a compound fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, or use liquid fertilizer with water, applying once a week to ensure the supply of nutrients needed for growth. Apply a nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizer during the budding period. Follow the principle of "applying thin fertilizer frequently" each time.

III. The suitable temperature for lily growth is between 15°-26°. When it exceeds 30°, it is necessary to provide appropriate shade and move it to a cool and ventilated place to spend the summer. When the temperature is below 10°, lilies will gradually stop growing, at which time, the plant needs to be moved to an indoor or warm, sheltered place to be cared for to ensure safe overwintering. Light is essential for lily growth, and balconies, rooftops, and courtyards are ideal "homes" for lilies. If kept indoors, they need to be taken out every other day to increase sunlight exposure, otherwise, their normal growth will be affected.
IV. Usually, pay attention to diseases and pests, focusing on prevention. Pay special attention to the black spot disease and gray mold disease of lilies. Normally, lilies should be placed in a ventilated environment and sprayed with fungicides such as carbendazim and dichlorvos to control diseases and pests. Diseases and pests can cause severe harm to the plant and buds, seriously affecting normal growth, so it is necessary to observe closely and deal with any problems promptly to eliminate the harm at the萌芽 stage.
After the lily flowers fade, the stems will gradually turn yellow and wither. At this time, they can be cut off to reduce nutrient loss. Move the pot to a cool and ventilated place to continue care, and the bulbs can be planted in the pot again in the spring of the following year.
