How to plant red spider lily and when to plant red spider lily

1. Planting method

1. Prepare bulbs: When planting red spider lilies, you need to prepare some bulbs first. The best bulbs are those with intact skin, no defects, medium size, and healthy and plump. Avoid those with worm holes or damaged skin.

2. Prepare potting soil: prepare flower pots with good air permeability and moderate size, as well as flower soil with good air permeability, weak acidity and sufficient fertility. Then put some gravel on the bottom layer of the flower pot, and then put a thin layer of flower soil on top.

3. Planting: Its bulbs can be planted directly without peeling. Place the bulb with the pointed end facing up on the soil, and then add the remaining soil into the pot so that the soil fills about 80% of the space in the pot. Afterwards, compact the soil slightly to make sure the bulbs are fully buried.

4. Post-maintenance: Move the flowerpot with the plant to a semi-shaded location and keep the temperature at around 20℃. After that, water in small amounts regularly to keep the soil slightly moist. It will sprout soon.

2. Planting time

The best time to plant red spider lilies is from April to May every year. Because the climate is warmer at this time, the bulbs germinate faster. If you don't have time now, you can also plant it in autumn from August to September.
