How to grow potted lilies well? How to care for lily potted plants

Lily pot cultivation method

1. Selection of soil pots

Lilies are not very demanding on soil. It is most appropriate to choose loose, fertile, well-drained slightly acidic soil or neutral soil.

Lilies have well-developed roots and large bulbs, so they need to be planted deep. Therefore, when growing lilies in pots, you must use deeper and larger pots to make it easier for the lilies to absorb nutrients from the soil.

2. Suitable water and fertilizer

Lily does not have a very high demand for fertilizer. You can add a little fertilizer containing potassium during the flowering season in spring, and fertilize more frequently during the growth period.

Lilies do not like a too humid environment, otherwise it will cause their roots to rot. Normally the soil only needs to be slightly moist. When the weather is hot in summer, the air humidity around them can be increased.

3. Light temperature

Lilies love light very much, so they cannot grow in a dark environment. If there is not enough sunlight, it is difficult for lilies to bloom, and even if they do bloom, the number of flowers will be relatively small. The suitable temperature for lilies to grow and bloom is around 20℃, so they must be kept warm in winter to avoid frostbite.

4. Prune the remaining flowers

After the lilies have finished blooming, the withered flowers need to be cut off from the branches. The aged leaves should also be removed in time, as they will attract pests, affect the appearance, and consume the nutrients of the plant. So they should be removed in time so that the plant can grow better and bloom next year.

Lily Care Precautions

1. Loosen the soil and change the pot

Lilies need to be repotted every 1-2 years. Pour out all the old soil and replace it with new loose soil. Prune the roots appropriately and then replant them. Loosen the soil frequently during maintenance to prevent the soil from becoming compacted, which will affect the normal growth of the lilies.

2. Rotate the flower pot

In order for lilies to grow better, sufficient light needs to be provided, and the flower pots need to be turned frequently to maintain uniform light reception, shape a good plant shape, and make it look more beautiful.
