Lily , also known as rhododendron, is famous for its gorgeous flowers and graceful shape and is highly ornamental. At the same time, it also has certain medicinal effects. Let’s learn how to grow lilies .

1. Planting techniques

1. Preparation

Before you start planting, select bulbs that are in good growth condition and prune them appropriately. After pruning, tidy up the roots and disinfect them to prevent the occurrence of diseases and pests. In addition, you need to prepare fertile, loose and well-drained soil. Leaf mold, garden soil, perlite and vermiculite can be mixed in a certain proportion to improve soil fertility.

2. Planting process

During the planting process, first prepare a container that is deep enough and fill it with the mixed soil. Then plant the lily bulbs in the soil so that the tip of the bud is about 5 cm exposed, and finally cover them with a thin layer of soil to fix the plant and prevent it from falling over.

2. Key points for later maintenance

1. Keep it cool

The optimal temperature range for lily growth is 15-25℃. Too high temperature is not conducive to its growth. After planting, the temperature needs to be controlled below 15°C. Moderately low temperature helps stimulate germination and is beneficial to the later development of the plant.

2. Keep moist

Lilies like a humid environment. After planting, water them in time to keep the soil in the pot moist. Be careful to avoid water accumulation and drain the water in time, otherwise it may cause damage to the plant's root system and cause root rot.

The above is an introduction to the planting methods of lilies. There are actually many varieties of lilies with many colors. Now many friends like to plant a few pots of lilies. Everyone is welcome to share their lily planting experience.
