1. Soil

Lilies prefer loose, fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. You can mix leaf mold, garden soil and river sand in a certain proportion, or you can buy special flower growing soil.

2. Lighting

Lilies need plenty of light, but avoid direct sunlight during the hot summer months. In spring and autumn, you can place it in a sunny place, and in winter you can increase the lighting time appropriately.

3. Watering

Lilies like a humid environment, but not waterlogged. When watering, you should follow the principle of "water when the soil is dry and water when the soil is wet", that is, water after the soil surface is dry, and water thoroughly when you do. In summer, you can increase the watering frequency appropriately, and in winter, you should reduce the watering frequency.

4. Fertilization

Lilies require an appropriate amount of fertilizer during their growth period. Some nitrogen fertilizer can be applied in the early stages of growth to promote plant growth; phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied during the flower bud differentiation and flowering periods to promote flower bud differentiation and flowering. When applying fertilizer, be sure to apply it in small amounts and frequently to avoid excessive fertilizer concentration that could burn the roots.

5. Pests and diseases

Lilies are susceptible to diseases and pests such as aphids, red spiders, and leaf spot. Pay attention to the growth of the plants, detect diseases and pests in time and take corresponding prevention and control measures. Insecticides and fungicides can be used for spraying and prevention; the ability of fragrant lilies to adapt to the environment is weak, and frequent relocation will affect their growth and flowering.
