How to take care of newly bought lilies

1. How to deal with the lilies you just bought

After buying lilies, don't rush to plant them in pots. You need to check whether the roots and branches of the plant are intact. If the roots are rotten and dry, they need to be cut off. If the branches and leaves are withered and dry, they also need to be pruned away. Then apply disinfectant on these cut ends and let them dry before potting them.

2. Specific breeding methods

1. Light: It is a light-loving plant. When you first buy it, you can expose it to the sun for a short period of time, one hour a day is enough. It is best to place it in a place with soft light, and do not expose it to high-intensity light all at once, nor should it be placed in the shade all the time. After it resumes normal growth, give it sufficient light.

2. Temperature: It likes to grow in a warm environment, and it is best to keep the temperature at 16-25℃. It is not resistant to high temperatures. If it is summer and the temperature is higher than 30℃, it is necessary to cool it down in time. You can sprinkle water around the pot to cool it down.

3. Watering: It likes a dry potting soil environment. When you first buy it, you only need to keep the soil slightly moist. It does not need to be watered frequently. However, during the peak growth period, you need to increase the amount of watering appropriately and spray it with water frequently to increase the humidity of the air, which is more conducive to its growth.

4. Fertilization: When it is just bought, its growth rate is relatively slow and you need to stop fertilizing temporarily. After it resumes growth, you can apply some nitrogen and potassium fertilizers as appropriate, generally once every 10-15 days.
