How to Grow Lilies So They Fill the Pot? Seed Saving Methods and Sowing Time Explained

Have you ever grown lilies? Do you know how lily seeds are obtained? Actually, once the lily flowers fade and the leaves dry up, you can simply shake out the seeds. But under normal circumstances, people do not grow lilies from seed, because the germination rate from seed is extremely low. So how do you grow lilies so they fill the pot, and when is the best time to sow lily seeds? The sowing time is best from August to September.

Generally, bulbs are used for propagation. Choose a deep pot for growing lilies, and planting 3 bulbs in the pot is enough; if the bulbs are very large, then reduce the number. Lilies like loose, fertile soil, so you can mix leaf mold, sandy soil and garden soil in a 1:1:1 ratio to prepare the soil. Water lilies to keep the soil moist: in summer, water once every one to two days; in spring and autumn, water once every four to five days; in winter, once a week is enough. As for fertilizing, just use a sufficient amount of base fertilizer.
