How to grow potted lilies in winter

1. Cut off branches and leaves

In winter, most lily bulbs will enter a dormant state. The part above the ground will wither soon after the flowers fade, so it is necessary to prune it first and cut off all the withered branches and leaves. This can save it a lot of nutrients, which is very beneficial for it to survive the winter.

2. Control the temperature

In winter, it must be kept in an environment with suitable temperature. The temperature cannot be too low, otherwise it will freeze and affect germination next year. But the temperature cannot be too high, otherwise it will end dormancy early and grow new buds, which will not be good for its growth next year. Therefore, it is best to keep it in an environment of about 10℃.

3. Micro-hydration

When it is dormant, it has little need to absorb water from the outside. So at this time, there is generally no need to water it. Just use a spray bottle to wet the soil in the pot when the soil is about to dry out. This can prevent a large amount of water from accumulating in the flower soil, causing its roots to be waterlogged and affecting germination next year.
