Once diseased plants are found, they must be immediately destroyed and removed to prevent spread. If brown spot disease occurs, spray with 75% chlorothalonil wettable powder at 700 times dilution.

1. Propagation
Lily of the valley is usually propagated mainly by division, and can also be propagated by seed. The best time for division is in spring and autumn. On the rhizomes of lily of the valley there are young buds of various sizes. Cut off each terminal bud together with a piece of rhizome and plant it. Seed propagation can be done in autumn, simply by sowing the seeds from fully ripe berries.
2. Soil planting
Site selection. Choose shady hillsides, woodland with relatively thick humus, or grassland. Cut strips along contour lines or across the hill, with a strip width of 1.5 m, a spacing of 2 m between strips, and a row-to-hole spacing of 50x20 cm. Dig holes, break up the soil, firm it, and shape it into a mound.
Planting. Deeply dug, fertile soil is best. It needs to be moved to a new site and replanted every 3 to 4 years, or rotated with other flowers. The planting spacing between rows is 25 to 30 cm, with 2 to 3 buds per clump, and the soil cover should be 5 to 6 cm deep. Water thoroughly after planting.
3. Potting
In November, choose plump and large rhizome buds, store them at 3°C to 5°C for 14 to 21 days, then take them out and plant them in pots, with 4 to 5 buds per pot.
So there really are this many things to pay attention to when growing lily of the valley! Although lily of the valley is poisonous, as long as we are careful in daily life, keeping it at home still has certain benefits. We should not ignore its value just because of its toxicity!
