Is it better to use a large or small pot for lilies?

When planting lilies, do not choose a flowerpot that is too large. The best diameter of the flowerpot is about 15-20 cm. If the flowerpot is too large, there will be more soil, which will easily accumulate water and cause tuber rot.

Growth environment: Lilac likes sunlight but is not heat-resistant. The suitable temperature for the plant's growth is 10-25℃. It can be watered once every 3-5 days during maintenance, but water should not accumulate.

Repotting time: It is best to repot the lily every 1-2 years, and the time should be mid-to-early March, because the plant cells are not active at this time, which is more conducive to the plant's recovery.

Should I use a deep or shallow pot for my lily?

The lily is a bulbous plant, so it is recommended to use a shallow pot to plant it. It is best to plant the bulbs close to the soil surface so that the roots can fully contact the air.

There are many materials of flower pots to choose from for lilies, such as ceramic pots, porcelain pots, purple clay pots, plastic pots, etc., as long as they have good drainage.

How to repot small lilies
