How to grow lilies in winter? Do I need to dig them out?

1. Do the lilies need to be dug out in winter?

In winter, if the lily can be grown in a warm indoor place, or the outdoor temperature is not particularly low, then there is no need to dig out its bulbs. However, if you cannot provide it with a warm environment, it is recommended to dig out the bulbs, cut off the withered parts, wrap them in newspapers, and store them in a ventilated place.

1. Temperature: In winter, if the plant does not form a ball, you need to place it in a warm enough place to prevent it from freezing. Specifically, the temperature can be maintained between 10-25°C. If the temperature is very low, the bulbs need to be removed to prevent them from freezing.

2. Light: The sunlight is not very strong in winter, so it is recommended to place the lily in a place with full sunlight. This will allow its leaves to synthesize more nutrients and at the same time help increase the temperature around it, which is very beneficial for it to safely survive the winter.

3. Watering: In winter, you don’t need to water too much. Generally water it 1-2 times a month, and keep the soil slightly dry. If the temperature of the maintenance environment is high, reaching above 20℃, you can increase watering as appropriate.

4. Fertilization: In winter, there is no need to fertilize the lily. Because the temperature is very low in winter, it grows slowly and needs to absorb less nutrients from the outside. Stop fertilizing at this time to avoid burdening its root system.
