Can the red spider lily bloom in the same year after division? How to divide the red spider lily

1. Did it bloom that year?

The red spider lily cannot bloom in the same year after being divided. Since the small bulbs do not contain much nutrients, it takes 1-2 years for them to bloom, while the original mother bulbs can bloom every year. If you want the bulb to bloom as soon as possible, you must provide appropriate light and pay attention to fertilizing so that it can accumulate nutrients faster.

2. How to divide the plant

1. Division time: The division time of red spider lily is generally during the dormant period. Therefore, the plant has accumulated more nutrients at this time, and the small balls have a higher survival rate after separation, and can also grow healthily. If the plant is divided during the growth period, it will lead to a waste of nutrients, which is not conducive to its development. It will also delay the growth of the plant and may cause it to fail to bloom that year.

2. Division: Before division, loosen the soil appropriately and take the red spider lily out of the pot. Avoid damaging its roots during the process, otherwise it will affect its survival. After taking it out, separate the small balls around the mother ball. If there are wounds, they need to be placed in a cool place to dry before preparing for planting.

3. Pot soil preparation: When growing small balls, you must use loose and fertile soil, which is more conducive to its growth and development. It is usually prepared with peat soil, garden soil and perlite, which not only has good drainage, but also has a certain ability to retain water and fertilizer, providing sufficient water and nutrients for plant growth, and also helps the breathing of the roots.

4. Subsequent maintenance: After planting the small balls of red spider lily into the soil, water it appropriately to keep the soil moist. At the same time, avoid exposure to sunlight, place it in a semi-shaded place for maintenance, and maintain good ventilation to prevent bacterial growth. After the bulbs begin to develop, they need to be watered and fertilized appropriately. Generally, liquid fertilizer is applied once every half a month, and pay attention to controlling the concentration.
