Lilies are very beautiful and not very rapidly plants, so it is not difficult to breed them, if you know all the nuances and secrets of this process. Let's look carefully with you thoroughly in how to plant these plants in the ground and what you need to know about it.
Landing time
Before the landing, it is still necessary to choose the bulbs, to prepare them correctly, it is also defined with the time of their landing, in general, things are not in bulk, so let's deal with all these criteria in more detail and in stages.
Most often, the lilies are sitting in the ground in the autumn period, to be more accurate, then at the beginning of this wonderful and slightly cool season. This is due to the fact that the life cycle of the plant of this species is as follows:
- Immediately after the plant is swinging, it comes to "rest"
- In such a state, the plant arrives at all shortly, namely 14-16 days, after which the bulb actively begins to develop and follows the appearance of the roots.
- Ultimately, at the beginning of spring above the ground, flower kidney is formed.
- Despite this, today there are no little gardeners to land the lilies in the spring. The reasons for such a decision may be different, but most often this landing of hybrids, which perfectly cope with harsh conditions or lack of time on this process in the autumn period. Now let's look at what advantages have a spring landing of lily:
- You do not have to deal with insulation of bulbs for preservation in winter
- There is no need to pack the bulb into the ground (for wintering you can choose a more convenient and reliable way of preservation, namely "put in the refrigerator").
If you are well prepared soil and the bulb itself, then the plant will bloom on time.
Despite this, there are also its drawbacks:
- Not all varieties have the opportunity and the strength to develop their roots until it is grown out of the soil, so in this case there is no beautiful and large flowering.
- If you put Lily in the spring, remember that you definitely do not wait for the processes that are necessary for the further development of the plant. Fall a flower in the fall - get about 9 "kids." If the spring is none, so to solve you when it is better to plant a plant.
- Late in the spring, sit, lilies simply do not bloom this season and beauty can be expected only by the next summer.
- In the event that you have decided to plant lilies in both seasons, it is best to do it on different beds. To care for them is easier. The fact is that from the planting season will also depend on the methods of care, watering, feeding plants, so it is worth it to have this fact.
- Experts suggest that it is better not to plant lilies in the late spring and at the very beginning of summer, because the plants grow not very strong, and are subject to many diseases.
Storage and selection of planting material
It should be understood that if you want to get beautiful and large flowers. The planting material must be taken carefully:
- there should be no damage, cracks and other deformities on the bulbs.
- to the touch, it should not be soft or sluggish
- roots on the tubers are obliged to be alive (dry immediately throw away)
- scales on the bulbs should be homogeneous
- by purchasing planting material in the spring, give preference to the bulbs that have already let the sprouts
Store bulbs in the winter best in the refrigerator. If the bulbs are sprouting, then they immediately need to land in the ground. If it happened early in spring or winter, then the landing is carried out at home in special containers.
Consider how to properly care for the planting material so that he does not hurt and is protected:
- First rinse bulbs under running water
- Making a solution of manganese (it should be weak) - in the bucket of water dissolve only 7 g of substance
- You can also lower them for a while in "Fundazole" - how to make the solution you will learn from the instructions on the package
- Do not forget to remove flakes from the bulbs, which are damaged or unnecessary
Earth processing and landing lilies
Do not forget that the soil also needs to be prepared before landing lilies. It should be remembered that the land for plants should be moistened, fertilized and alkaline, only then you will get a beautiful and large flowering.
There are several options for the soil operational fertilizer:
- Mix peat, squeeze ground and sand (preferably use river)
- In addition to this composition, you can also add coniferous OPEAD to this composition (it should be noted that all components should be equal).
Sale lily as follows:
- Choose the right time, most often this is the end of April. The main thing in this case so that the earth is completely eliminated and warmed up.
- We choose a landing place - remember that it should be a place under the sun, because the flowers of this species love heat very much.
- After that, dig up the landing wells. Pitches must be a depth of centimeters 10.
- It has a rule here - the deeper you will leave the fossa, the easier it should be the Earth (so it is sometimes necessary to carefully get it up to bring the soil from another place where the soil is lighter and with a high level of air transmittance).
- If the lilies are low, then the bulbs can be planted at a distance of 20 cm from each other, or even a dumb smaller. In the case of high varieties of plants, it is necessary to leave a distance of 25 cm between them.
Adhering to all these rules and recommendations. You can grow and multiply beautiful and large lilies.
