The fragrant lily is also known as the heavenly lily and Casablanca. Its petals are pure and spotless, and its flowers are large and colorful. It is known as the "queen" of lilies and has a high ornamental value. So how to manage fragrant lilies in winter? Let’s learn more about it below. 1. Temperature management Lily of the valley prefers a cool growing environment, and the suitable growth temperature is between 15-25℃. When the temperature is below 5℃ in winter, warming measures need to be taken to avoid frost damage. 2. Increase lighting The daylight hours are shorter in winter, but lilies need plenty of sunlight. Therefore, the lighting time can be appropriately increased, and the daily lighting time should be more than 4 hours. But avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burns. 3. Water moderately The air is dry in winter, so watering frequency should be lower than in other seasons, but the soil should not be allowed to dry out completely. In general, water the plant when the soil surface looks slightly dry. Water the plant thoroughly each time, but avoid water accumulation. 4. Control fertilization Winter is the dormant period for fragrant lilies and no fertilizer is needed. If fertilizer is applied in winter, it may stimulate the growth of bulbs, causing the bulbs to consume too much nutrients and affect growth and flowering next year. You can apply appropriate amounts of fertilizer in late autumn or early spring when the fragrant lily begins to grow or is about to bloom. 5. Pay attention to ventilation When caring for it indoors in winter, keep it away from heating equipment such as heaters and air conditioners to avoid burning the leaves. It is best to place it on a bright windowsill or balcony and keep it moderately ventilated. 6. Proper pruning If the fragrant lily has dead or diseased leaves in winter, they should be pruned in time to reduce nutrient consumption and the breeding of diseases and pests. 7. Disease and pest prevention Although there are fewer diseases and insect pests in winter, they cannot be completely ignored. Check the leaves and bulbs of the fragrant lily regularly, and deal with pests and diseases in time if found to prevent their spread. Generally, pesticides , fungicides and other agents can be used for prevention and control. For example, common aphids can be sprayed with omethoate and other agents. In general, the management of fragrant lilies in winter requires comprehensive consideration of multiple aspects such as temperature, light, water, and fertilization. Only by paying attention to every detail can the fragrant lily survive the winter healthily and vigorously, laying a good foundation for growth and flowering in the coming year.
