How does the red spider lily bloom? How to deal with the red spider lily after it blooms

1. How to bloom

1. Adequate light: Red spider lily prefers partial shade, but this does not mean that it does not need light. On the contrary, proper light is very helpful for flowering. In the early morning or evening, when the light is softer, you can put it in a sunny place to bask in the sun. If it is summer, you must do a good job of shading, as strong sunlight is not conducive to flowering.

2. Suitable temperature: Any plant needs a suitable environment to bloom, among which temperature is particularly critical, and red spider lily is no exception. It prefers a warm climate. When the temperature is between 18-26℃, the plant grows faster and is easier to accumulate nutrients, which is very helpful for flowering.

3. Appropriate water control: Water control is one of the common methods to promote flowering. If there is too much water, the plant will use the nutrients for its own growth, but when the water is slightly insufficient, the plant will turn to flowering. You can extend the watering interval appropriately to keep the soil slightly dry, but not too dry, otherwise it will be detrimental to its growth.

4. Supplement fertilizer: Appropriate fertilization can also promote the flowering of red spider lily. Generally speaking, adding phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering can promote flowering. You don’t need to apply fertilizer too many times, generally 2-3 times is enough. The concentration of fertilizer should not be too high, and it should be fully diluted before application.

2. Post-flowering treatment

After the flowers of the red spider lily fade, leaves begin to grow. At this time, the flower stalks need to be cut off to reduce the loss of nutrients, which is more helpful for the development of the plant. In addition, do not water too much during daily maintenance to avoid water accumulation and root rot. The temperature should not be too low, it should be above 8℃. And it should be placed in a place with scattered light and not exposed to strong light.
