Autumn is the best time to sow this plant, which blooms beautifully and is full of fragrance.
Autumn is a season suitable for sowing, and this is not only true for fruits and vegetables; flowering plants can be sown as well. After all, having gone through the scorching summer, all kinds of flowering plants have been battered quite badly. Take advantage of the current cool weather to sow a few kinds of flowers, and when they bloom and are placed at home, they really look stunningly beautiful!
We all know that lilies, whether made into bouquets or grown at home as potted plants, are excellent flowering plants for viewing. I used to think raising lilies was troublesome, but looking at how lilies are cultivated now, it is not that difficult after all. Next, Huahua will tell everyone exactly how lilies are propagated and cared for!
The simplest way to propagate lilies should be bulb propagation. Ask a friend who grows lilies or buy lily bulbs online; this is the first step in planting. After that, we need to prepare the planting soil. Generally, fertile garden soil is enough, and if there is leaf mold rich in nutrients, that would be even better.
Once the soil is ready, we can start planting. First put the previously prepared bulbs into the soil, then cover the bulbs with a layer of soil, with a soil thickness of about 3 cm. Next, press the soil down a bit, then water thoroughly. After planting is complete, we need to place the potted lily in a relatively cool place to grow, then water appropriately according to the condition of the potting soil, and finally we can see the bulbs sprout!
After planting is complete, the follow-up care must also be done carefully. During the growth period, lilies love soft light. Lilies that get light will grow faster, and the flower stems and roots will become sturdier. When the flowering season arrives, the buds will be fuller. If they are placed in a relatively dark environment for a long time, then even if the lilies bloom, the buds will drop. Therefore, when caring for lilies, pay attention to light intensity.
Lilies grow better in moist potting soil. This requires us to make sure we water enough, but also remember not to water too much, otherwise water will accumulate at the bottom of the pot, and then the roots will rot. Once the roots have rotted, there is no way to remedy it! To sum it up in one sentence: water thoroughly, do not overwater!
Potted lilies at home only need to be fertilized once every half month on average. Organic fertilizer is best. During the growth period, lilies need attention to fertilizer and water application. Only by maintaining sufficient nutrients will lilies grow vigorously. Usually, thin fertilizer water such as household rice-washing water can also be given to lilies regularly!
Autumn is a suitable season for sowing lilies. Lilies are beautiful in form and full of fragrance. If there are flower lovers who like them, they can also take a few pots home now, so that the home will truly be full of blooming flowers and fragrance! If you also have new flowers suitable for planting in autumn, you are welcome to leave a comment and tell Huahua.
