Cultivation methods and precautions of oil-spot lily

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: The preferred soil is soil with good drainage properties. Large-particle vermiculite and perlite mixed with garden soil is a good choice. The soil prepared with mixed garden soil is very suitable for its growth.

2. Light: When raising it, place it in a place with sufficient light and try to provide it with sufficient light. But make sure it is not exposed to the sun and provide adequate shade in summer.

3. Watering: Water when the soil is dry and wet when the soil is wet, but be sure to avoid water accumulation in the pot. Especially in summer, if the temperature is too high, you can also spray some water on the leaves to cool down.

4. Fertilization: Fertilizer should be applied to newly potted plants, newly planted plants, and plants that have just been repotted. In the later stages, there is no need for too strict management. Just apply a small amount every ten days or half a month.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: The more common method is division, which is also the simplest one. You only need to separate the bulb at the root and replant it. Be sure to remove the diseased leaves.

2. Pruning: If the leaves of the plant grow too lush and dense and block each other, they can be pruned appropriately by cutting off the overly large old leaves or problematic leaves.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Yellow leaves: When the leaves of the oil-spot lily turn yellow, it is basically because not enough fertilizer was given when it was potted, or the maintenance environment is not ventilated. It is best to give it sufficient nutrients and a well-ventilated environment so that it can grow better.

2. Wilting: It is quite common for the leaves of lilies to wilt and curl, which is mostly caused by too much or too little water. You can adjust the water appropriately according to your own breeding conditions.

IV. Other issues

1. Can it be grown indoors: It can be grown indoors. The size of the plant is very suitable for indoor placement, and the patterns on the leaves are peculiar and very attractive. Secondly, its plump bulbs are also very attractive.

2. Is it edible? The oil lily is not edible. It is a perennial herb and there is no scientific certification that it is edible. Don’t eat such a lovely plant.
