How to prune lilies

1. Purpose of pruning

Pruning has two main purposes. On the one hand, it can make the plant's shape better and improve its ornamental value. Secondly, cutting off diseased, dead, and thin branches, or pruning them after flowering, can make the plant grow more vigorously and increase its lifespan.

2. Pruning method

(1) Plants grown in water: They must be pruned before being inserted into the soil, by cutting off a section of the bottom at an angle. After insertion, regular pruning is also required, and the bottom should be cut off one to two centimeters at an angle.

(2) Plants grown in soil: For plants grown in soil, it is best to cut the branches at an angle, leaving three or four buds at the base of the cut branches.

(3) In addition, whether the plants are grown in soil or water, it is necessary to prune off diseased and withered branches from time to time to promote the healthy growth of the plants. In addition, after the flowering period is over, the withered flowers should be cut off, and some branches can also be cut off as appropriate. In this way, they can avoid consuming too many nutrients and affecting the subsequent growth of the plants.

3. Notes

Don't cut it at noon, it's best to cut it in the morning or evening. In addition, it is best not to prune on rainy days.

4. Maintenance after pruning

The air humidity should be kept around 70 percent. Also, place it in a well-lit area. The temperature should be between fifteen and twenty five degrees. In addition, if you are growing plants in water, be sure to place them in water with good quality and no pollution.
