The editor answers for the netizens when the Red Spider Lily blooms and provides a brief introduction to the green plant maintenance experience of enjoying the blooming period of the Red Spider Lily. Let's learn about it together.
The Red Spider Lily can bloom twice a year, the first time is from February to March every year, and the second time is from July to September. Compared to other times, July is the most vigorous bloom and is relatively punctual. Generally speaking, the first bloom is called "Spring Red Spider Lily," and the second bloom is called "Autumn Red Spider Lily."
1. Specific Blooming Period
For this plant, it mainly blooms in two time periods. The first stage is from February to March. The second stage is from July to September, among which the flowers in July are the best, marking its peak blooming period. According to legend, those that bloom around the spring equinox are called "Spring Red Spider Lily," and those that bloom around the autumn equinox are called "Autumn Red Spider Lily." Generally speaking, it blooms very punctually.
2. Precautions for Blooming
(1) Light: To make it bloom on time, sunlight is essential. However, it does not like too strong light. Therefore, it should be placed in a location with scattered light. If there is direct strong light, it can be appropriately shaded.
(2) Soil: Since blooming requires sufficient nutrients, the soil should first be rich in nutrients. Moreover, based on the habits and characteristics of this plant, we should choose slightly acidic soil. If it becomes too alkaline, the soil will become compacted, leading to root rot due to oxygen deficiency, and it will not bloom. Therefore, we can occasionally loosen the soil and sprinkle some ferrous sulfate solution.
(3) Pot: This aspect also affects whether it blooms. If the pot is too small, the space will be relatively insufficient, unable to meet the supply during the blooming period. Therefore, a relatively larger pot should be chosen to avoid poor growth or development. This way, it can bloom smoothly.
(4) Temperature: It is best to ensure the appropriate temperature before and after its blooming, which is beneficial for blooming. Specifically, maintaining around 24℃ is fine.
