How to grow potted lilies:
1. Cultivation time: Potted lilies are best planted in September-October.
2. Soil: The growing medium should be mixed with leaf mold, sandy soil, and garden soil in a 1:1:1 ratio. Apply sufficient fully decomposed compost and a small amount of bone meal at the bottom of the pot as a base fertilizer. The planting depth is generally about 2-3 times the diameter of the bulb. The potting soil should not be too wet, otherwise the bulb is prone to rot. Potted lilies should be repotted once a year, replacing the growing medium and base fertilizer.
3. Fertilization: Lilies do not have very high fertilizer requirements. Usually, applying fertilizer appropriately when spring growth begins and at the early flowering stage is enough. Some growers abroad believe that lilies need relatively more nitrogen and potassium fertilizer, and during the growing period it should be applied once every 10-15 days, while phosphate fertilizer should be limited, because too much phosphate fertilizer can cause yellowing leaves.
During the flowering period, phosphate fertilizer can be applied additionally for 1-2 days. To make the bulb plump, remove the spent flowers promptly after blooming to reduce nutrient consumption. Watering only needs to keep the potting soil moist, but during the peak growing season and in dry weather, water appropriately and more frequently, and often sprinkle water around the flowerpot to increase air humidity.
4. Temperature: The suitable growing temperature for lilies is 12-18°C. In winter, even if the temperature drops to 3-5°C, they will not die from cold.
5. Light: Lilies have the characteristics of cold resistance, love of light, tolerance of fertilizer, and fear of wetness. Lack of sunlight and long-term shading will affect normal flowering. However, they have broad regional adaptability, and can be planted in the ground or in pots in both north and south.
