What to do after lilies have finished blooming

1. Treatment methods

1. Pruning: After the lily has finished blooming, the flower stalks need to be pruned. About 1/3 or 2/3 of the stalks should be pruned. Do not prun all of it, otherwise the nutrients will be lost too quickly. In addition, some dead branches and side branches that are in poor growth condition must be pruned off.

2. Water control: Don’t water it too much at this time. Be sure to reduce watering. You can replenish water every 3-5 days. If you give it too much water, its bulbs will easily rot. Or stop watering in time, and when its leaves are dry, dig out the bulbs for storage.

3. Maintenance: If you do not plan to dig out the bulbs, you will need to continue maintenance. At this time, you need to place the potted plant in a well-ventilated location and avoid exposing it to rain. If the bulb does not rot during this period, it will germinate when the weather becomes cooler.

2. Precautions

If the lily you are caring for sprouts again, you need to add some nutrients appropriately. You need to apply some organic fertilizer to it, and you can also use it with quick-acting phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. In this way, it will bloom again after a period of time.
