Lily cultivation methods and precautions

Hello! <>

Lilies like a warm, moist and sunny environment, slightly tolerant to semi-shade and cold, not tolerant to high temperatures, afraid of waterlogging, the suitable temperature for growth is 15 25 degrees, the temperature is higher than 30 degrees and lower than 10 degrees, the growth is slow or dormant.

Lilies like loose and fertile, well-drained slightly acidic sandy loam soil, potting soil can be mixed with humus, garden soil, river sand, planting pot bottom pad granular stone, add a little organic fertilizer as a substrate.

Lily peanuts keep the soil moist for a long time, the soil is moist and will cause root rot, when it comes to the flowering period, the water should be sufficient, reduce watering after flowering, stop watering after the aboveground part of the plant withers, and keep the potting soil slightly dry.

Lily peanuts are applied with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium water and fertilizer once a month for a long time to promote the vigorous growth of plants, and the irrigation of potassium dihydrogen phosphate 1:1000 during the flowering period is conducive to colorful flowers!

Lilies are short-day plants that prefer semi-shade, but they need to be sunny during the growing season, and growing in a shady environment for a long time will cause less flowering or flower buds to fall off. Potted lilies have sufficient sunshine, the plants grow strongly, the flowers are bright, and it is better to have no less than 6 hours of sunshine a day, otherwise flowering will be delayed.

Lilies should be tied up in front of the buds to prevent lodging, in the high temperature and humid season will be sick and pests, the soil of cultivated leaves should be disinfected, remember to water the soil is too wet, otherwise it is easy to get sick, pay attention to prevention.

The root system of lilies is relatively developed, so the area of the breeding pot should be large and deep enough, and the potting soil can be selected to mix the acidic soil with the proportion of garden soil, sandy soil, and humus soil. Watering using the method of less is not more, the maintenance temperature is best controlled between 5 and 30 degrees, the light needs to be sufficient, but when it is too hot, shading measures need to be taken, and the fertilization time is 15 to 20 days apart.

1. Pot selection and potting soil: the size of the root system will be different for different varieties, and we need to choose according to the root characteristics of cultivated flowers when selecting pots. Lilies have a large root system, so in order not to affect their normal growth, the size and height of the pot should be larger.

In addition, the choice of potting soil is the same, in order to facilitate the drainage and respiration of the lily root system, the potting soil should be mixed with garden soil, sandy soil, humus soil and other proportions, and the pH of the soil should be more acidic.

2. Water control: The root system of lilies is very developed, but it does not mean that it has a large demand for water, so we need to take the method of benefiting less and not more when watering. The so-called benefit is that the wetness of the potting soil reaches 80%, giving people a feeling of semi-dry and not wet.

Such a state is the best. Therefore, in the rainy season, we cannot continuously place it outdoors and without rain, so as not to rot the roots.

3. Temperature control: The best growth temperature of lilies is between five and thirty degrees, so when the outdoor temperature is lower than five degrees, we need to take thermal insulation measures, of course, we can directly move it to indoor breeding. When the temperature is above 30 degrees, we need to take measures to cool down by spraying water on the leaves and around the lilies.

In addition to this, it is also necessary to maintain the circulation of the surrounding air.

4. Sufficient light: Sufficient light can promote the flowering of lilies and the growth of branches and leaves. Therefore, we should not keep lilies in too dark for a long time, because this will cause lilies to stop growing, or affect the flowering time and length of flowering.

In addition, it is necessary to take shading measures in the middle of summer to prevent the lilies from being burned or sunburned.

5. Fertilization time: In normal times, we do not need to fertilize lilies frequently, as long as a thin fertilizer can be applied every fifteen to twenty days, in addition to the need for top dressing during the lily flowering period, because the lily flowering period, the consumption rate is relatively fast, so in order to prolong its flowering period, top dressing is needed.

The root system of lilies is relatively developed, in order to avoid affecting the absorption of nutrients by the roots, it is necessary to try to be as large as possible when choosing a pot, not too shallow. You can directly buy nutrient soil on the market, or you can mix it with garden soil, sandy soil, humus soil and other proportions, and then add base fertilizer to make nutrient soil. Change the pot every other year and add fertilizer.

The soil should be acidic, especially limestone soil.

It is best to keep the humidity at around 80% and not fluctuate too much. Don't water too much, keep the potting soil moist, there is more rain in summer, be careful not to accumulate water, and avoid rotten roots.

Normal room temperature can grow normally, the temperature is controlled at 16 to 23 degrees, the temperature is too low in winter, to move into the indoor maintenance, not lower than 5 degrees, the maximum temperature in summer can not be higher than 30 degrees, pay attention to ventilation, the temperature is too high and too low will make it stop growing, 10 degrees to the growth of the fiber will recover.

Lilies prefer a sunny environment, and prolonged shade will lead to poor flower bud differentiation, affecting flowering and slow growth. Provide them with sufficient light every day, and if the sun is too strong at noon in midsummer, it should be shaded to avoid burns caused by sunlight refraction.

The amount of fertilizer for lilies does not need to be too large, two weeks to about 20 days to apply once the forest is thinly fertilized, the consumption of nutrients during the flowering period is relatively large, and top dressing is needed to provide enough nutrients for flowering. You can choose a mold mu fertilizer containing nitrogen and potassium.
