Is a deep pot or a shallow pot suitable for lilies?

Should lilies be placed in deep or shallow pots?

Lilies are more suitable for planting in deep pots because their root system is very developed. The depth of the pot should not be less than 20 cm, but it depends on the size of the plant. Lilies with large root systems need to choose deeper pots.

In terms of flower pot material, lilies can be planted in ceramic pots and clay pots. Do not choose plastic pots, as they have poor air permeability and are not conducive to the growth of the plant.

How to repot lily

1. Lily repotting time

Lilies generally need to be repotted once a year. The best time to repot is in autumn, and it is best to wait until the flowers wither. Repotting at this time will not affect the flowers and will also be beneficial to their later recovery.

2. Watering after repotting lilies

After repotting the lily, you should not water it with heavy water during the seedling acclimatization period. At the same time, you should spray water to keep it moist. Wait until the seedling acclimatization is completed before resuming watering.

3. Things to note when repotting lilies

(1) Prepare the potting soil: Before repotting the lily, you need to prepare suitable soil. It is best to use loose, breathable, slightly acidic soil. You can use leaf mold or sandy soil.

(2) Remove from the pot: Control the water a few days before removing the plant from the original pot, and then remove the plant from the original pot, making sure to remove the soil attached to it.

(3) Planting in pots: Fill the bottom of the new pot with a layer of soil, then add a little base fertilizer, place it in the middle of the soil and water it thoroughly.
