How to grow Lycoris radiata so that it blooms

Lycoris radiata flowering time

Lycoris radiata usually blooms at the end of summer, specifically from July to September. The flowering period is relatively long, so when caring for it, there must be a good ventilation environment and sufficient sunlight, so that it can bloom more flowers and the colors will be brighter.

How to grow and bloom Lycoris radiata

1. Soil : Lycoris radiata generally uses acidic soil, which must be fertile and well-drained. Humus soil can be used, which is more beneficial for its growth and also provides sufficient nutrients for flowering.

2. Watering : Lycoris radiata generally grows in a humid environment and is relatively drought-resistant, so the soil needs to be kept moist during normal maintenance, and water accumulation should not occur, especially during the flowering period, otherwise it will cause the flowers to fall.

3. Light : When caring for Lycoris radiata, it needs sufficient sunlight. It is best to maintain 6-7 hours of sunlight a day. However, it needs appropriate shade in the summer. In other seasons, it can be exposed to full sunlight. Shading is more beneficial for flowering.

4. Fertilizer : Lycoris radiata needs to be fertilized once a month during its growing season. You can use a soil fertilizer solution. In August, you need to apply fertilizer once before pruning, and then fertilize again in autumn to promote the formation of flower buds.
