Lily is a plant of the genus Aeonium. Its lotus-shaped leaves are closely arranged, as beautiful as lotus flowers. The leaves are usually green, and will turn into pink-orange-green under sufficient sunlight. In an environment with large temperature differences, the leaf color of lily is particularly easy to show.

1. Lighting

   Lily likes an environment with plenty of sunlight. It is necessary to maintain sufficient light in spring and autumn so that the leaves will be more tightly wrapped. However, attention should be paid in summer and winter. It is not resistant to exposure and cold. It needs to be shielded from direct sunlight in summer and moved into a sunny place in a greenhouse in winter.

2. Soil

   Lily is suitable for planting in loose and breathable sandy soil. You can mix leaf mold and coarse sand in a 1:1 ratio. You can add a little bone meal when potting. Just keep the soil breathable and water-permeable without water accumulation.

3. Moisture

   Lilies are drought-tolerant but afraid of waterlogging. During the growing period, water them when the soil is dry and water them when the soil is wet. When the temperature rises in summer, the plants go into dormancy more obviously. Watering should be controlled to prevent heat black rot. After the soil in the pot is completely dry, water a small amount of water along the edge of the pot at night. Gradually reduce the amount of watering after autumn, and control the frequency of watering in winter.

4. Fertilizer

   Lily does not require much fertilizer. Just provide fertile soil when planting. However, during the vigorous growth period of the plant, you can apply a slow-release granular fertilizer, mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and nitrogen fertilizers as a secondary component. No fertilizer is applied in hot summers and cold winters.

Lily Lily Maintenance Precautions

Lilies need to be ventilated during the hot summer, and never water them directly on the head. Whether it is summer or the growing season, lilies should not be exposed to rain for a long time, and the potting soil should be kept moist or waterlogged for a long time, which will cause root or leaf rot.
