Lycoris has no leaves?

Lycoris radiata is not without leaves. Think about its other name - red spider lily. The flowers and leaves will never meet in this life. So, when you see it blooming, the leaves have already withered.

We can divide the large category of Lycoris into two categories according to the different seasons when its leaves grow. One category is those that grow leaves in autumn, such as Lycoris radiata and Lycoris radiata, which only grow leaves after the flowering period.

The other type is the one that grows leaves in spring, such as Chinese Lycoris, Deer Allium, Lycoris radiata, etc. They grow leaves in spring, wither in early summer, and bloom in late summer and early autumn.

Grow Lycoris like this and it will bloom year after year

When we propagate Lycoris, we can wait until the flowers fade in autumn every year, dig out the underground bulbs from the soil, and break off the small bulbs that have grown and plant them.

There are no requirements for the soil. It can tolerate slightly alkaline soil. When planting, just make sure the soil is loose and has good drainage.

When watering, usually keep the soil moist when the soil is dry. Adjust the amount of water according to the different stages of the plant. Before flowering, its water needs must be met to facilitate flowering. Gradually reduce the water supply during the dormant period.

In terms of light, Lycoris radiata can tolerate both light and shade environments, but if you want the plant to grow well, you still need to give it sufficient scattered light.

Lycoris is now in bloom. For those flower lovers who grow Lycoris at home, we can cut off the flower stalks after the flowers fade, and apply a thin layer of organic fertilizer!
