Cultivation methods and precautions of fragrant lily

soil

Lilies prefer deep and fertile soil. Remember not to use hard and sticky soil. It is best to use a slightly acidic soil with good drainage, with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. It can be mixed with sand, leaf mold and garden soil in equal proportions.

Watering

When watering, just make sure the soil is moist. Do not water too much to avoid erosion of the flower bulbs.

illumination

The light requirements of potted lilies are different at different growth stages. It is best to shade the fragrant lily when it is in bud. When the temperature of the leaves is too high, appropriate shading can be applied. However, it requires stronger light during other growth stages, especially when the flowers enter the development stage.

temperature

In the first two weeks of planting fragrant lilies, the temperature should be around 4 to 13 degrees, and then the temperature will gradually increase to promote the growth of the plants. If the temperature is too low, the plants will grow slowly, and if it is too high, it will affect the quality of the flowers.

fertilizer

Lily of the valley has a relatively large demand for potassium and nitrogen fertilizers. During the growing season, it needs to be fertilized every 10 to 15 days, and a small amount of phosphorus fertilizer is needed. Excessive use can cause the leaves of the plant to turn yellow.

prune

To ensure that the bulbs are full, the roots of the fragrant lilies can be cut off after flowering to reduce the large consumption of nutrients. If you want to continue to keep the bulbs, you should continue to fertilize and supplement nutrients. After about a month, dig out the bulbs, cut off the fibrous roots, and refrigerate them in the refrigerator. After breaking dormancy, you can plant them again, but the quality of the flowers will be reduced.
