Climate and Soil The tiger lily prefers a sunny, mild and relatively dry climate. It is cold-resistant and drought-tolerant, and dislikes extreme heat and excessive rain. It has low requirements for soil; it is best to plant it in a cool, dry, sunny environment and in a high, dry, sunny, well-drained sandy loam. Damp, low-lying land is not suitable for planting. Continuous cropping is avoided. Land preparation is carried out in summer: plow the land, apply base fertilizer, form flat beds about 1.2 m wide, and dig drainage ditches around them. Propagation methods mainly use scales and small bulbs. (1) Scale propagation: select large, healthy bulbs free of pests and diseases, and use a bamboo

Land preparation is carried out in summer: plow the land, apply base fertilizer, form flat beds about 1.2 m wide, and dig drainage ditches around them.

Propagation methods mainly use scales and small bulbs. (1) Scale propagation: select large, healthy bulbs free of pests and diseases, and use a bamboo knife to cut off the base (the rooting part) so that the scales separate. Or dry the bulbs in the shade for several days and separate the scales by hand. In September and October, arrange the scales in furrows at a row spacing of 16 cm and a plant spacing of 3-4 cm, cover with 3 cm of soil, and cultivate for 1 year. In the autumn of the second year, transplant and establish them in the field, or continue cultivating for 2-3 years; dig up the large ones for medicinal use and keep the small ones as seed. (2) Small bulb propagation: when harvesting lilies in September and October, collect the small bulbs at the same time and cultivate them; dig them out from late September to early October of the second year and plant them again as above. In addition, bulbil propagation can also be used.
