How to Plant and Grow Red Spider Lilies and What Is the Bulb Price

How should red spider lilies be planted and grown? Do you want to grow a red spider lily yourself? Then how do you plant it? Let's take a look together.

Potted planting of red spider lilies
1. Find a large container and fill it with a commercial potting mix that drains well. Lycoris will not thrive in waterlogged soil. Plant in trios or add other bulbs, annuals or perennials around the lycoris to fill the pot and create a lush look.
2. Place the container in a spot that gets three-quarters of the day in full sun.
3. Dig holes and plant your bulbs with their necks above the soil surface, 8 inches apart. The bulbs are round with pointed tops - plant them with the point facing up.
4. After planting, water to settle the soil around the bulbs. Roots will form in autumn. If you live in a warm area, some sprouts may also develop in autumn. The taller top growth will come in spring, and flowers develop about 6 weeks later.
5. While in bloom, feel free to cut flowers for arrangements. This will not harm your plant.
6. Water as needed during active growth. No more than 1 inch of water per week is a good estimate.
7. When the leaves turn yellow and wither, feel free to remove them; they will have finished their photosynthesis work by then and serve no future purpose. Your bulbs will rest for a few months before starting the next growth cycle. When the leaves are absent and the bulbs are dormant, hold back on water.
