Pictures of red spider lily (introduction to morphological characteristics and maintenance methods)

1. Morphological characteristics

1. Stem: The stem of the red spider lily is a bulb, which looks similar to an onion.

2. Leaves: The leaves grow in clusters, are relatively slender, and look similar to garlic leaves, usually green in color.

3. Flowers: Usually bloom in summer and autumn. 5-7 small flowers grow in an umbrella shape at the top of the branch. The flowers are bright red, and the petals are curled back, shaped like a dragon's claw. In addition, it blooms first and leaves appear after the flowers fall. The leaves fall off in summer, so the flowers and leaves cannot meet each other.

2. Maintenance methods

1. Sunlight: Red spider lily grows best in an environment with sufficient light and can receive sunlight all day long. Insufficient light is not conducive to its growth and leads to poor flowering.

2. Soil: Red spider lily is not picky about the soil and can grow even in hard soil. But if you want better maintenance, you can use sandy soil rich in organic matter, which is both nutritious and has good drainage.

3. Water: Because of the bulb, its own water storage capacity is very good, and it will grow better if sufficient water is provided. Check the soil in the pot regularly, and water it when it turns white. Also, water less during the dormant period.

4. Fertilization: In addition to the organic fertilizer added during planting, topdressing is also required every two months, with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers being the main types.
