No sprout lilies, planting germination "tips", sprout small buds, easily fill with flowers
Lily Xiaoqi plants lilies every year because they have a large bloom with a strong fragrance and are very beautiful. After the flowers bloom each year, most of the bulbs are planted in the ground. By winter, the top leaves of the bulbs will wither. Xiaoqi will dig up the bulbs and put them in a sealed bag, tie it shut, and store them away until spring to plant again. So, how should we plant lilies without sprouts?
Actually, the planting method is very simple because the lilies we usually buy have already had their sprouts accelerated. They use moist soil to germinate and bury the lily bulbs completely in it, creating a completely moist environment. Its roots will gradually grow into the soil, and the sprouts will gradually emerge. We can just follow this method. First, soak the unsprouted bulbs in a fungicide, trim off all the dry roots, and soak for about half an hour. Then find a flower pot, put nearly 1/2 of the soil in the bottom of the pot, and evenly place the lily bulbs in it, then fill in some more soil.
Fill the soil to half the position of the lily bulb, leaving most of the top, and water thoroughly. Don't forget to add some root stimulator to the water. Then find a thick piece of cardboard to cover the top of the pot, creating a dark environment. If not covered, you can place it in a place with insufficient light, or cover it with a layer of black cloth, which allows better air circulation. During this time, you can often open it to check. If the potting soil is dry, water it thoroughly. After the second watering, we can directly cover the bulbs with soil. Generally, the covering position should cover the bulbs completely. About the height of one bulb is enough. After this, we can place it in a well-ventilated area with plenty of light for maintenance.
If lily bulbs are planted without sprouts, generally after about a month of planting, the sprouts will gradually emerge from the soil. We will also find that its roots will gradually grow out from the bottom hole of the pot. The purpose of this is to let the roots gradually penetrate into the moist soil and avoid bulb rot. When the roots grow out and start to grow, usually after the first watering, we cover the soil again. Its roots will grow longer and longer, and the sprouts will gradually emerge, breaking through the soil and seeing the light directly. After the sprouts see the light and are bathed in strong light, they will gradually grow more leaves, avoiding etiolation, and then bloom directly. This is the method of planting lilies.
Remember, during the cultivation of lilies, if there is not enough light, etiolation will occur. We should regularly use a dwarfing agent every half month and supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Start using phosphorus and potassium fertilizers after sprouting, applying 2-3 times a month until the flowers bloom. In this way, when we grow a pot of lilies, they will not lack nutrients, and the roots will be well-developed, absorbing sufficient nutrients, so the bulbs will not become shriveled, and after the flowers bloom, the bulbs will also grow larger. Wait until the branches and leaves wither, then dig them out and store them for them to bloom again the following year.
