How to Fertilize Lilies: Master the Key Points of Scientific Fertilization Techniques

Lilies are perennial herbaceous plants of the Liliaceae family. They are mainly produced in Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Guangxi and other provinces (autonomous regions).

The medicinal part is the bulb.

Lilies prefer cool conditions and are relatively cold-tolerant; they prefer dry conditions and fear waterlogging; they are strongly shade-tolerant, but prefer light during the budding and flowering stage; they prefer deep, fertile sandy loam and have a relatively strong tolerance for fertilizer.

Key points of fertilization techniques: For base fertilizer, apply 3000-4000kg of barnyard manure per 667 sq m. For topdressing, the first application at thawing time, apply 1500kg of decomposed pig and cattle manure per 667 sq m, spread evenly over the bed surface, plus 50-75kg of decomposed cake fertilizer and 100kg of plant ash, then cover lightly with soil. For the second application, when the plants are 10cm tall, apply 1500kg of decomposed human and livestock manure per 667 sq m; for the third application, after harvesting bulbils in mid-June, apply 15-20kg of ammonium bicarbonate per 667 sq m.
