1. Different periods: The growth of lily of the valley is different at different stages, and the fertilizers needed for growth are also different. In the spring when the seeds are just beginning to sprout, the nutrients they need should be provided. Only by providing enough nutrients can a good foundation be laid for subsequent growth.

2. Active growth period: During the period of vigorous growth of lily of the valley, you must pay attention to fertilizing. At this time, the growth is very rapid and the demand for nutrients is also very high. You can fertilize every two or three weeks, mainly with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.

Lily of the valley requires water to grow, and the frequency of watering is not fixed. The climate is different in different seasons, so the frequency of watering is different.

In summer, water evaporates very quickly and needs to be replenished in time. You can water the plants once in the morning and evening every day, and sprinkle water evenly on the soil. The climate is cold in winter, so you must pay attention to the amount of watering and wait until the soil is completely dry before watering.
