What kind of soil does the red spider lily like? How many red spider lilies can be planted in one flower pot?

1. What kind of soil do you like?

Red spider lily likes loose, fertile, acidic soil. It has a strong adaptability and is generally not picky about soil, but loose soil is more conducive to root growth and breathing, and rich organic matter can also provide sufficient nutrients. It is usually mixed with peat, garden soil and perlite, with the ratio of the three being 2:2:1. If the soil is alkaline, it is necessary to acidify it with alum fertilizer water to lower the pH value, which is more conducive to the growth of the plants.

2. How many trees can be planted

You can plant 4-5 red spider lilies in one flowerpot, which mainly depends on the size of the flowerpot. Generally, you should use a taller pot to facilitate the growth of the plant's roots and to better fix them. When planting multiple bulbs, space them two apart so as not to hinder their growth. If they are too close, the roots will become entangled and compete for water and nutrients.

3. Planting method

1. Planting time: Red spider lily is generally planted in spring and autumn, which is its growing season and it is easier to adapt to the environment after planting. If the temperature is too high in summer, the plants will begin to dormant, which is not conducive to their development. Low temperatures in winter also slow growth.

2. Preparation of potting soil: Red spider lily grows faster in loose and fertile soil. Generally, peat, garden soil and perlite are used to prepare potting soil, which can ensure good drainage and is also beneficial to the breathing of the roots.

3. Planting: After filling the flowerpot with soil, plant the bulb inside. When burying the soil, leave the top exposed to facilitate its growth. If you are planting multiple trees, keep a distance of two bulbs between each tree. The planting depth is generally related to the size. Small ones can be shallower, while large ones need to be deeper.
