Summary: This article introduces the best care methods for sword lilies and the correct watering techniques for green plants and flowers. Next, the editor will provide an introduction for the netizens.
Sword lilies are a highly popular flower, especially with their long, thin leaves paired with bright blooms, which exude an elegant beauty. To ensure the healthy growth of sword lilies, attention should be paid to the following points. Let's take a look together.
1. Choosing Soil
Sword lilies do not have as high soil requirements as other expensive flowers, making them more loved by the public. Generally, sword lilies prefer deep, slightly acidic, loose, and fertile sandy soil. The most important thing is that the soil should have good drainage and not easily become compacted. This allows sword lilies to better absorb nutrients and bloom beautifully.
2. Sufficient Light
Sword lilies are a typical long-day plant, and the more sunlight they get, the faster they will grow. It is best to provide sword lilies with more than 14 hours of sunlight exposure each day. Only then can their flower buds develop healthily. If there is a lack of light for a long time, individual small flowers on the plant may wither, the flowers will become sparse, and the risk of the plant getting sick will increase.
3. Temperature Requirements
They are not very cold-resistant flowers, so special care is needed during winter. It is best to place the sword lilies in a warm room and adjust the temperature of their environment in a timely manner to avoid frostbite. The growth temperature of sword lilies should be controlled between 21-35 degrees Celsius. The highest indoor temperature should not exceed 35 degrees Celsius, or the sword lilies may get burned by the high temperature.
4. Appropriate Watering
Sword lilies have strict requirements for watering amounts, so everyone must control the amount when watering. If watered too much, it can easily cause the roots of the plant to rot, and if watered too little, the sword lilies will become listless, with the leaf tips turning yellow. Remember to often spray water on their leaves, and stop watering during the blooming process to extend their flowering period.
The above sharing of the best care methods for sword lilies and the specific introduction of the correct watering methods for them are for netizens' reference.
