How to raise a lily, 4 steps to teach you to raise a lily.

Lily has many different colors, most of which are white and very beautiful. Many flower lovers like to cultivate lilies, but they don't know how to raise them. In fact, raising lilies is very simple, as long as you prepare a piece of soil suitable for cultivating lilies, then water them frequently, fertilize them properly and pay attention to the growing environment. There are three ways of propagation, namely sowing, dividing plants and cutting propagation.

I. Lily cultivation method 1, fertile soil

Lily had better choose loose soil, good drainage and fertile soil instead of clay, otherwise it will lead to poor growth of lily, affect flowering and even wither and die. You can choose to mix peat, river sand and perlite according to the ratio of 2: 2: 1, which is suitable for lily cultivation and can increase the aesthetic feeling.

Step 2 be diligent in watering

Lily is a fire-resistant plant, so it doesn't need too much water every time. Generally, water can be poured every five days in spring and autumn. Because of the hot weather in summer, the water in the soil evaporates quickly, so you can water it every other day. In winter, when lilies enter dormancy, they will not absorb a lot of water, so they should wait until the soil is dry, so they should control the water every time to prevent excessive watering from affecting their growth.

3. Appropriate fertilization

Lily needs regular fertilization. In spring and summer, NPK compound fertilizer needs to be applied once every half month. Bean cake, vegetable cake and farm compost can also be used as fertilizer for lily. In autumn, because the lily gradually enters dormancy, it is necessary to reduce the amount of fertilization and fertilize it every other month. In winter, lily officially enters the dormant period and does not need fertilization.

4. Growing environment

How to raise lily, its growing environment is very important. Lily is a plant that needs sufficient sunshine, and it is suitable to grow at 15 ~ 25℃, not lower than 5℃ and not higher than 35℃. So keep warm in winter and bask in the sun all day, but in summer, the temperature is too high to be in strong sunlight, so shade the sun and spray some water on the leaves.

Second, lily propagation method 1, sowing method

Lily reproduction is best carried out in spring. First, choose good seeds, and the seeds don't need to be treated. Put lily seeds directly on the soil suitable for their growth, and then bury a layer of soil on the seeds. Before the seeds take root and germinate, do not apply fertilizer, as long as the soil moisture is maintained, and the growth temperature is preferably 12 ~ 15℃, otherwise it is difficult to take root and germinate.

2. Method of dividing plants

Lily propagation can also adopt the method of dividing plants, which is widely used because of its high survival rate and simplicity. Generally speaking, a good lily cultivation will produce many new buds, which can be taken out and preserved for 3 ~ 5 years. These new buds can be potted again because they still have roots.

3. Cutting method

The cutting method of lily is more complicated. Every autumn, you can dig out the bulbs on the lily, peel off a piece of scales from the bulbs that are growing well, and then put them in the shade to dry. The treated fish scales are cut into river sand without fertilization, and only the humidity of the river sand needs to be maintained. Until the next spring, small bulbs will grow on the scales, and then they will be separated and planted in soil suitable for lily growth for normal cultivation.

Iii. lily pest control 1, disease control

The most common diseases of lily are black stem disease, virus disease, gray mold and so on. They will cause small yellow spots on some branches and leaves of lily in the early stage, which is difficult to be found. After a long time, they will quickly spread to every branch and finally let the lily wither and die. If there is any abnormality in lily branches and leaves, immediately cut them off, and then spray 2000 times of 50% pirimicarb ultra-fine wettable powder or 500% Dukexing wettable powder.

2. Pest control

The common pests of lily are aphids, scarab larvae, mites and so on. They will absorb nutrients and water from lily branches and leaves, leading to malnutrition of lily, which will also have a certain impact on flowering, and will lead to lily withering and death for a long time. When pests are found, 2000 times of pyrethroid or 40% omethoate with 1500 times will be sprayed immediately once every five days, almost three times in a row.

Conclusion: After reading the above contents, I believe everyone should know the cultivation methods, propagation methods and pest control of lily. I hope everyone can cultivate beautiful lilies in their lives.
