Planting lily bulbs in the spring in a pot

Competent planting of bulbs guarantees full flowering

• According to experienced flower growers, it is better to choose early autumn - early September for planting.
• But you can carry out this manipulation in the spring.
• These periods make it possible for the plant to take root well and sprout.
• Start spring planting as early as possible - as soon as the first shoots appear. Young stems are very fragile and brittle, which can pose a problem for the further growth of the flower.
• Pre-purchased bulbs should be stored in a cool place, constantly adding damp moss or sawdust, sand or earth

Before sowing bulbous material:

1. We carefully reject and remove infected, rotten specimens
2. We cleanse unnecessary scales
3. Cutting off withered roots
4. Shortening a too long crustal system
5. We send for half an hour to a solution of 0.2% fundozol or treat with an insecticide

• We plant in a pot with light soil and always with drainage
• Planting depth - 2-3 times higher than the planting material (from the top of the bulb to the ground)
• We perform the operation carefully so as not to damage the bulb and root system.
• After planting, mulch well with peat or humus

How to water a lily in a pot?

Watering the pot lily

1. We water very carefully: by the neck of the planter or using the bottom watering method
2. If there is water in the pan, pour it out. Lilies do not tolerate waterlogging
3. Watering is carried out after the topsoil has completely dried out, very moderately.
4. When the flowering ends, we water it rarely and little (2-3 months). The ground must remain semi-dry
5. Let the water stand for a day before watering

Lily care after flowering

Eucharis rarely releases its flowers. But with proper storage of the plant, during the rest period, you can increase the period and the number of flowering times.

For this:

1. Send the lily to a dry, cool place
2. Make watering and feeding minimal - when the top layer of the earth is completely dry
3. If the ground has not changed for a long time, change the soil by adding ash to it

How to feed lilies after flowering?

Feeding eucharis is carried out not only in the spring-summer period, but also in the fall, when the plant no longer blooms. During sleep, the flower is stocked with useful substances for the future. The duration and frequency of flowering depends on the correct feeding.

Important: In the first month and a half of the flower's rest, feeding is not carried out. Only after the first offspring appear do we give food.

• Feed with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers: potassium magnesium or superphosphate
• To do this, dissolve 1.5 tbsp. l. potassium magnesium or 2 tbsp. superphosphate in a bucket of water

Why is the house lily not blooming?

There may be several reasons for this problem:

1. Rest time not kept... If the flower was watered abundantly within 1.5 months after flowering, it did not have a dormant stage. He did not have time to rest and gain strength.
2. Improper care, consisting in temperature changes, leads to decay of the bulbous material. This prevents the eucharis from blooming.
3. Poor stocking density. It will take 3-4 years for a young plant to bloom to grow babies. Planting several bulbs together in one planter will help speed up flowering. The less space in the pot, the faster the lily will bloom.
4. Poor lighting, insufficient watering and feeding- after the appearance of the first shoots.

Home lily disease

1. Gray rot- the causative agent is lat fungi. Botridis. The development of increased moisture and non-observance of the temperature regime of the airspace, waterlogged soil. The first signs are expressed in the loss of leaf elasticity. After acquiring softness, the greens take on a brown color along the edge. Further, the painful areas are covered with gray mold, and they die. If you find a problem, hurry up to remove the malicious places. Next, treat with Topsin-M, Fundazol, copper sulfate.
2. Stagonosporosis- the second fungal disease. Red elongated spots appear on all parts of the plant. Severe infection leads to the death of the flower. The reason for the development of the disease are: sharp temperature jumps and excessive moisture. Healthy seeds are the key to a healthy flower. Process the bulbous material, before planting it in the ground, with fungicide components: Oxykh, Maxim, Abiga-Peak, for about half an hour. Then dry for 2 days.

• Mushroom mosquito (sciarid)- spawns in very damp ground. Its female produces offspring in the roots, which, as it grows, eats the base of the roots. The flower begins to grow poorly, wither, does not form flowers. Watering will help to destroy pests:

1. Aktara (0.8 g / l of water)

• Amaryllis bugs- start under the bulbous scales. They twist the green crown, and subsequently bring the death of the plant. We fight him by spraying with an insecticide:

1. Aktara
2. Akarin
3. Vertimek

• Spider mite envelops eucharis in excessively dry air. With minimal damage - wash the greens with soap. Severe infection - requires the help of acaricides:

1. Sunmight
2. Akarin
3. Kleschevit
4. Fitoverm

Adequate attention will help prevent infection.

Home lily turn yellow leaves

Problems of the Amaryllis family

Poor care is reflected in the healthy appearance of the plant. Natural yellowing and death of the green crown should not cause alarm. But the numerous yellow and dried leaves say:

1. About illiterate watering
2. About insufficiently high air temperature (less than +10)
3. About bright sunlight

We take out the bulbous material from the substrate and do a thorough inspection. Having discovered softness and color change, it is necessary:

• Cut out rotten places
• Sprinkle with charcoal
• Dry thoroughly
• Plant in fresh soil

How to properly transplant a home lily?

New planter for lilies

Transplanting is allowed no more than once every three years, but we change the upper soil surface annually. The time of the process is the rest of the flower

Getting started:

1. You will need a high planter so that the width allows you to leave space between the wall and the bulb - 3-4 cm
2. We fill the bottom with any drainage
3. You will need a special soil of the bulbous genus
4. If there are 10 or less children, we do not tear them off from the main bulb. We plant in a bunch, without dividing the soil lump
5. Priming depth - 4-5 cm
