When does the red spider lily bloom?

1. Flowering time

Its flowering period is from July to September, with July being the peak flowering period when the flowers bloom most intensively.

2. Flowering conditions

In order for the plant to bloom, it needs five hours of diffuse light every day. Normal light is enough in the morning and evening, and appropriate shade is needed when the sun is strong. Besides this, it also requires acidic soil as a growing medium.

3. Reasons for not blooming

1. Planting too deep: If it is planted too deep, the soil will bury the top of the bulb and it will not bloom. Therefore, during the planting process, do not bury it too deep, and leave the top of the bulb exposed.

2. The flowerpot is too small: It grows relatively fast. If there is not enough space in the flowerpot, the bulb will not grow normally and will not bloom. The depth of the pot should not be too deep. Generally speaking, it should be enough to bury the roots of the plant.

3. Soil problem: Planting it requires acidic soil with sufficient nutrients and good drainage. If the soil does not suit its habits, it will not bloom. The solution is to loosen the soil frequently. As the plant grows, the soil changes. If it is found that it begins to become alkaline, measures must be taken. You can water the soil with a ferrous sulfate solution once a month, or you can use vinegar instead of chemical agents.
