How to fertilize lily and what fertilizer is best

1. Fertilization time

Lily has relatively high requirements for fertilizer, and the period of time required for fertilization is also relatively long. When it is just planted and during its growth period, that is, from spring to autumn, you can apply appropriate amounts of fertilizer.

2. Fertilizer Types

The types of fertilizers applied to lilies can also be divided into base fertilizers and fertilizers used during the growth period. If it is base fertilizer, then you should use decomposed organic fertilizer, not raw fertilizer. If fertilizer is applied during the growth period, you can use various organic fertilizers purchased from the store, such as organic fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Nutrition needs to be balanced and diverse, don't just supplement one element.

3. Fertilization method

1. Fertilization can be based on the principle of "applying small amounts of fertilizer frequently". In other words, the concentration of fertilizer cannot be too high. It needs to be diluted before use and then sprinkled on the surface of the soil. Furthermore, the amount should not be too much. Don't apply too much at one time, otherwise the roots will easily rot.

2. Pay attention to the frequency of fertilization, and do not do it too many times. Generally speaking, once a week or two weeks is enough, and once a week when the growth rate is very fast.

IV. Precautions

1. When the lily is in the flowering period, it is best not to apply fertilizer. Fertilizing at this time is not conducive to its flowering and may cause the flowers to wither.

2. Do not fertilize when the lily is in its dormant period.

3. Watering lilies can be done at the same time as fertilizing, which can have a dilution effect.
