Growth characteristics of lily
Lily likes cool environment and has certain cold tolerance, but it is not resistant to high temperature and water and humidity. If the soil is too wet, bulbs will rot and have wide adaptability to the soil, but they are more suitable for planting on sandy soil with deep soil layer, fertile and loose soil and good drainage. Cohesive soil can't be planted, the root system is robust and developed, and it is more resistant to fertilizer.
Lily growth environment
There are many lily varieties with different shapes, and the flowering time of different varieties is also different. Generally, lilies will bloom from May to August, and the flowering period can be controlled by artificially adjusting the temperature. Then lilies can bloom all year round, each lily can bloom for two to three weeks, and some varieties can bloom for a month.
Lily is a flower with long sunshine time, and the demand for sunshine is relatively large. If the conservation environment is dark, it will affect the formation of lily flower buds, cause bud drop, and also affect the quality of lily cut flowers. In addition, it is necessary to control the amount of watering during flowering, and don't water too much, otherwise it will easily lead to falling flowers.
