How to take care of newly bought lilies

1. Choose the right soil

The newly purchased soil for lilies is generally suitable for its growth, but it may not be suitable, so you need to change the soil. It is recommended to choose soil made of leaf mold, sand and garden soil.

2. Water correctly

It likes dryness and is afraid of moisture, so when growing it, just keep the soil slightly moist. But when it is growing most vigorously, you need to water it and spray it frequently to increase the air humidity. But the soil in the pot should not be too moist, otherwise the bulb will rot.

3. Appropriate fertilization

It does not require much fertilizer, usually a little fertilizer can be applied in the spring and before it blooms. Then during its growing period, apply a little nitrogen and potassium fertilizer, preferably once every 10 to 15 days.

4. Proper lighting

When exposing it to light, only one hour a day is enough, but it cannot be placed in a dark place for a long time, otherwise it will affect flowering.

5. Suitable temperature

It is very cold-resistant and can grow normally even in winter at 3 to 5 degrees. But the most suitable temperature is between 12 and 18 degrees.

6. Disease prevention and control

The most common diseases are viruses, leaf blight, and spot disease. Once the disease occurs, it will cause the greatest damage to the leaves. At this time, we can pick off the diseased leaves and spray them with medicine, which is very effective.
