How to propagate lily and what to pay attention to

Lily breeding method

Lilies can be propagated by leaf cuttings and branch cuttings. The natural way of reproduction is seed propagation, and lilies are propagated fastest by cuttings.

Lily breeding time

Lilies are often propagated by leaf cuttings, but germination is not easy. You need to choose the right time and do leaf cuttings during the growing season in spring and autumn, which is more likely to succeed.

Lily breeding method

Lily cutting propagation

Cut off the healthy branches in spring or autumn, then apply carbendazim to the wounds, place them in a ventilated place to dry for 3 days, and after the wounds heal, cut them into sandy soil and water them in small amounts to keep the soil slightly moist. If all goes well, they will take root and survive in about 10-15 days. Then transplant them into granular soil, water them thoroughly, and place them in a well-lit environment for normal maintenance.

Lily seed propagation

Lily is a plant of the genus Aeonium. Generally, the branches will die after flowering, so no one wants to let lily bloom and produce seeds, and sowing propagation is generally difficult to carry out.

Lily leaf cuttings

Lily can be propagated by leaf cuttings, but it is not suitable for propagation by leaf cuttings like Echeveria succulents. The survival rate is low, so only cuttings can be used.

Lily breeding precautions

1. When caring for lilies, we first need to choose suitable soil and flower pots. Generally, loose soil with good drainage and air permeability is required, but remember to expose it to the sun to kill insects and disinfect it before use.

2. Lilies are drought-resistant to a certain extent, so you need to wait until the soil in the pot is completely dry before watering. When watering, you must water the entire pot thoroughly, but there should be no water accumulation. Just keep the soil slightly moist.
