What are the cultivation methods and precautions of lilies?

Lily growth habits

Lilies like moisture and light, and require fertile, humus-rich, deep, and well-drained sandy soil. Most varieties grow in slightly acidic to neutral soil. Lilies like cool and humid environments. Places with plenty of sunlight and slightly shaded environments are more suitable for lilies.

Lily cultivation method

Temperature: The temperature needs to be controlled at 16-24 degrees Celsius. In summer, the temperature is high and should not be higher than 30 degrees Celsius. Cooling measures need to be taken to avoid affecting its root growth. In winter, the temperature is low and should not be lower than 10 degrees Celsius to avoid frost damage.

Lighting: In spring and autumn, place it in a position with scattered sunlight, and ensure 8 hours of light per day; in summer, avoid direct sunlight and place it in a shaded and ventilated position; in winter, it can be placed in a position with full-day light and cultured indoors.

Watering: During the growing period, water the plant appropriately, every 3-5 days. In the summer when the temperature is high, water the plant once a day. In the winter when the temperature is low, water the plant once every 7-10 days. Be careful not to water the plant too much to avoid water accumulation.

Fertilization: Lily cultivation requires sufficient fertilizer. Use diluted nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer once every half a month during the growing season to promote the growth and development of its roots and plants.

Lily cultivation precautions

Repotting and loosening the soil: Lilies need to be repotted once a year. The replacement soil is required to be loose, fertile, and acidic soil. Before repotting, the soil can be loosened by using a shovel to gently lift the soil around it to prevent the soil from becoming compacted.

Rotating the flowerpot: Lilies need to have their flowerpots rotated frequently to ensure they receive adequate light, allowing the entire plant to be evenly exposed to light and increasing its ornamental value.
