Sharing with everyone the illustration of lily propagation methods and the introduction of green plant flower care skills and methods. Next, the editor will introduce to you.
Introduction
Talking about lilies, I believe most friends will like them. No matter which variety of lily, its flowers are very beautiful, so many people keep a pot at home. However, during the maintenance process, many friends say that its bulb division ability is relatively weak. So today, the flower lover will share a super simple method that can easily make lilies grow countless small bulbs.
Some lily varieties can grow bulbils on the plants, and the bulbils can be planted after maturing. Some lily varieties do not have bulbils and mainly rely on the division of rhizomes to propagate small bulbs. However, this method is quite lengthy, as it can only grow a limited number of bulbs in a year. Therefore, today the flower lover wants to share another method, which is the lily bulb scale propagation method.
The lily bulb scale propagation method is commonly used in many large-scale seedling raising institutions. This method is simple and can propagate a large number of small bulbs with just a few scales, and it is relatively fast. Basically, it can be operated in other seasons except for the dormant period.
In the process of using lily scales for propagation, we first need to find a suitable bulb, which must be fully mature, strong in growth, and free from diseases. Then, the outer layer of thick leaves of the bulb should be peeled off.

The peeled leaves must be properly disinfected. The scales can be soaked in diluted bleach or alcohol for 3-5 minutes, then placed on absorbent paper to absorb excess moisture, and then placed in a cool and well-ventilated place for about 1-2 days to allow the wounds to dry thoroughly, preventing them from rotting.
The processed scales can be used for propagation. We can prepare peat soil or nutrient soil and make the nutrient soil slightly moist. Then, prepare a ziplock bag, place the scales in the nutrient soil, and after placing them, the ziplock bag should not be completely sealed, as lack of ventilation can cause the scales to rot.
The packaged scales can be placed in a cool and well-ventilated area, preferably in a dark place. Basically, it can grow small bulbs in about a month, and one scale can grow many bulbs. However, during this period, it is necessary to check the substrate in the bag frequently. If it lacks water, it should be supplemented in time, but the substrate should not be too wet. If it is too wet, it should be taken out and dried, and then repackaged when the moisture is appropriate.
