Today we will talk about how to grow lilies well.
1. A suitable flower pot.
It is important to maintain proper potting and flowering soil for lilies. Lily's stems and leaves are relatively strong, so try to choose a larger, deeper pot. If it is too small and shallow, it is not good for the root system of the lily.
If the pot is too shallow or too small, it will affect the differentiation of flower buds, and the amount of flowering will be greatly reduced.

Lilies prefer deep soil, so the roots have plenty of room to grow. Meanwhile, the soil should be rich in humus, well-drained, and slightly acidic to neutral.
3. Moisture.
Lilies like wet conditions, so water them diligently and keep the potting soil moist at all times.
4. Lighting.
When the light is insufficient in winter, we should use lighting to prolong the lighting time, and fill in the light for 4 to 6 hours at night, so that the whole day can reach 16 hours.
5. Temperature.
The most suitable temperature for lily growth is 15-20 ℃. If the temperature is too high or too low, the lily will enter a dormant state. In winter, the temperature should not be lower than 5 ℃, and it is necessary to keep warm in time.
6. Nutrients.
Lilies grow very fast, so nutrients must be adequate. In order to promote the rapid flowering of lilies, we usually supplement it with fertilizer 1-2 times a month.
In addition, lilies should be pruned in time after flowering, so as not to consume unnecessary nutrients.
