Preparation before planting: The roots of lilac are relatively large, so you should choose a deep flowerpot when planting. You should also trim its root system, cut off old and rotten roots, and leave more fibrous roots. This way it can adapt to the environment faster and resume growth.

Planting: When planting lilac, spread out the roots of the seedlings, then cover them with soil, compact the soil so that the roots are completely combined with the soil, water them in time to keep the roots moist, and then slowly maintain them.

How to plant the lilac flowers you just bought

For newly purchased cloves, you must first cut off the rotten roots and dead branches, then disinfect all cuts with a carbendazim solution, and finally dry them in a well-ventilated place.

When you just buy lilac, you need to choose suitable potting soil. It is best to choose a deep soil pot and permeable sandy soil, which is beneficial to its growth.

Don’t water the newly purchased lilac too frequently. Water it appropriately to keep the soil moist, and then water it after the plant grows normally.

How to grow lilac flowers quickly

1. Pot and soil: Lilac has high requirements for flower pots and soil. When growing this plant, it is best to choose a ceramic pot, because such a pot has better air permeability and is in line with its growth habits.

2. Sunlight: Lilac is a plant that needs plenty of sunlight. It is best to grow this plant in a sunny place such as a balcony to facilitate its growth.

3. Temperature: Lilac is afraid of heat and cold and has high temperature requirements, so when the temperature is high, spray water to cool it down or move it to a cool place.

Precautions for potted cultivation of lilac

1. Repotting and changing soil: During the cultivation period of potted lilac, the pots and soil should be changed every year, usually in spring and autumn. The pots can be changed every two years according to the situation, and it is best to change the soil once a year.

2. Regular pruning: The pruning of lilac branches and leaves is mainly carried out before the spring growing season and after the leaves fall in autumn. Spring pruning will cut off the branches that grow fast and densely and cannot be controlled. Autumn pruning is mainly to cut off weak and diseased branches to preserve nutrients for the winter.
