What to do after lilies have finished blooming

1. Timely pruning

Lilies bloom from July to October every year. By the end of October, they are mostly withered and need careful care. It is important to prune the flower branches at this time to reduce nutrient consumption and promote flowering momentum next year. Remove the withered flowers in time. In addition to the dead flowers, the flower branches above the flowerpot should also be basically cut off, leaving only about 20 centimeters. If you water it more frequently, the remaining part can grow longer.

2. Reduce moisture

Water is needed for growth, but after the flowers fade, not much water is needed for growth. The effect of water is significantly reduced. If you still water it as before, the bulbs will not be able to bear it and will rot. In addition, the weather has turned cooler at the end of October, and evaporation has decreased. If you water too much, you may get frostbite.

3. Nutrient Supplementation

Although the demand for water is reduced, the nutrient replenishment needs to be the same as before. It can replenish what was consumed previously and promote growth in the coming year. In autumn, you can apply it once every 1-2 weeks. When the temperature drops in winter, you can apply it once a month. Pay attention to the concentration. If the concentration is too high, it will affect the bulbs.
