What to do after the scented lily fades

1. Care method:

1. Pruning:

Pruning after flowering is a very important step, which is directly related to the flowering period of the next year. Therefore, after the flowers fade, we must cut off the excess branches and leaves in time, which can greatly reduce its nutrient consumption. However, you can also leave some leaves appropriately to avoid pruning the entire plant bare, which would affect its appearance.

2. Watering:

After the flowering period, be sure to reduce the frequency of watering, otherwise it will have an adverse effect on the rhizomes. We can no longer water it as usual, but we need to pay attention to the condition of its soil and only water it after the soil starts to dry out.

3. Fertilization:

Don’t think that lilies don’t need fertilizer after their flowers fade. In fact, they do need normal fertilization and nutrients after the flowering period. When using fertilizer, you must control the total amount applied. Never apply too much, otherwise it will affect its growth cycle and state. Therefore, just apply fertilizer normally as usual.

2. Notes:

After completing these management work, try not to touch the rhizomes of the fragrant lilies with your hands on weekdays, because the flowers are a little fragile just after the flowering period. At this time, they should be given a buffer time to rest well so that they can survive the winter smoothly. In addition, when winter comes, try to stop watering and fertilizing. If you must water, you must observe the potting soil of the fragrant lily and wait until it is dry before watering. You can also spray some water on the flowers and leaves at ordinary times, so that the fragrant lilies can spend the winter safely.
