Lilies are very refreshing and many flower lovers like to grow them. However, when caring for lilies, flower lovers may encounter a confusing problem, that is, although the flower buds have been formed, they begin to fall off before they fully bloom. Let’s take a look at what happened to the lily buds that fell off before they opened. 1. Avoid water accumulation in the pot soil Lilies are bulbous plants. Their bulbs are sensitive to water and are afraid of waterlogging. Frequent watering or poor drainage may cause yellowing leaves, falling flower buds, and even bulb rot. Therefore, when caring for lilies, make sure that there is no water accumulation in the soil in the pot. Wait until the soil is completely dry before watering it thoroughly, and keep the drainage holes unobstructed to prevent excessive water accumulation. 2. Provide sufficient sunlight Lilies need plenty of sunlight before and after flowering to promote the growth of flower buds and the differentiation of flower buds. Lack of light will not only make it difficult for the flower buds to open properly, but it may also reduce the number of flowers. Make sure your lilies receive at least six hours of sunlight each day to promote successful flowering. 3. Maintain a suitable temperature Lilies grow best at a temperature of around 20 degrees Celsius. Temperatures that are too low or too high may affect its growth and flowering. In hot seasons, lilies should be placed in a cool environment with soft light and good ventilation to facilitate their healthy growth. 4. Reasonable fertilization Before the lily blooms, applying appropriate amounts of fertilizer, especially phosphorus and potassium fertilizers or organic fertilizers , can promote lush flowers, bright colors, and rich fragrance. However, be careful not to use too high a concentration of fertilizer and avoid using unfermented organic fertilizer. Long-term lack of fertilization or improper fertilization may affect the normal flowering of lilies. In addition, regularly changing the potting soil and keeping the soil loose and fertile will help the lilies grow more small bulbs and achieve the breeding effect of turning one pot into multiple pots. With careful care, lilies will not only bloom beautifully year after year, but they will also reproduce more plants and fill your home with the fragrance of flowers.
