In which month does the red spider lily bloom?

Generally, the red spider lily blooms from July to September, with July being the peak flowering period. Legend has it that the three days before and after the spring equinox are called spring higan, and the three days before and after the autumn equinox are called autumn higan. The red spider lily blooms during the autumn higan period, very punctually, which is why it is called higan flower.

It needs acidic, sandy, breathable and well-drained soil. Bulbs generally need 2 to 3 years before they bloom well.

II. Reasons why the red spider lily does not bloom

1. Soil problems: The red spider lily by nature likes slightly acidic soil. Watering may gradually make the soil alkaline, and can also cause the soil to become compacted, so the bulbs may lack oxygen and even rot.

Solution: It is best to loosen the soil and sprinkle on ferrous sulfate water, but do not add too much, otherwise the leaves will not be able to fall off normally.

2. Planting too deep: If planted too deep, even the top of the bulb is covered by soil, and if the soil is too hard, it makes it difficult for the lycoris to produce a flower stalk, resulting in failure to bloom.

Solution: Reduce the planting depth, just like planting garlic.

3. The flower pot is too small: Because the flower pot used for planting is too small, the space for the bulb to grow is too cramped, which can cause some bulbs to grow deformed.

Solution: In October, dig out the bulbs and replant them separately, with the same planting depth as above. If they still fail to send up flowers after separate planting, dig out the bulbs again and divide them once more.
