How to grow lilies with water

Water culture precautions

Water change

When growing lilies in water, it is best to change the water frequently.

When the temperature is above 20℃, change the water every 2-3 days; when the temperature is around 15-20℃, change the water once every 3 days or a week; when the temperature is lower, change the water once a week.

Lighting

Lighting conditions are also a key to the success of hydroponic lily cultivation.

An average temperature of around 15 to 25°C is more suitable for the growth of lilies. Too low a temperature will cause the plants to grow slowly.

If lilies receive 6 more hours of appropriate light every day, the flowering period can be advanced; otherwise the flowering period will be delayed.

Nutrition

Since water is the medium for growing lilies in this method, the nutrients in it will be relatively lacking. At this time, it is necessary to add an appropriate amount of nutrient solution to the water to meet the growth needs of the plant.

Different plant species determine that the nutrients required for growth are also different. You should choose the appropriate nutrient solution to add based on the plants' preference for nutrients.

Pruning

Usually lilies need to be pruned regularly when arranging flowers, about once every 2-3 days. An appropriate pruner will help the lilies to fully absorb water and can effectively help extend the flowering period.

Temperature

Since lilies are grown hydroponically, the temperature of the water has an obvious impact on the growth of the plants.

The breeding water must be effectively cooled during the high temperatures in summer, and insulation work must be done during the low temperatures in winter to ensure that all the physiological functions of the plants are in normal working condition.

In fact, the general principles of each type of care for hydroponic lilies are basically the same as the soil culture method, but the cultivation medium is essentially different. I hope that all flower lovers can succeed in cultivating them no matter which method they use!
