Lilies are short-day plants, and most species prefer cool, semi-shady climates. In fertile soil and well-drained humus-rich soil, their bulbs develop well and are brightly colored, making them ideal as garden flowers.

Suitable growing environment for lilies:

1. Lilies like warm, humid, sunny climates. It is resistant to low temperature and high humidity. It is more suitable for planting in an environment of 15~25 °C. It grows slowly below 10 °C, and lilies above 30 °C cannot grow normally.

2. Lilies need a lot of water to facilitate the growth of lily stems and leaves. Planting lilies in soil that is too wet, waterlogged, or poorly drained can cause lily bulbs to rot and die. As the plants grow, the watering of potted plants should be gradually increased. After flowering, there should be enough water. After flowering, attention should be paid to controlling the water. After the ground part withers, watering should be stopped in time. Potting soil that is too wet can also cause bulb rot.

3. Lilies like to use mild light. It can also withstand strong light and semi-shade exposure. The lack of light will cause the buds to drop and the number of flowers to decrease. Adequate light, sturdy plants and bright flowers. Lilies can bloom earlier by adding 6 hours of sunlight during the day. If the light time is reduced, flowering will be delayed.

4. The suitable growth temperature of lily is 15~25℃, and lilies below 10~30℃ cannot grow normally. Lilies prefer acidic soil with a pH between 5.5-6.5.

Precautions for lily care:

Nitrogen is suitable for planting lily, and lily bean cake, vegetable cake, farmyard compost and N, P, K compound fertilizer is better. During the growth period of lilies, loosen the soil, weeding, and cooperate with irrigation and fertilization. In order to promote the growth of seedlings, diluted liquid fertilizer is generally applied 2-3 times during the growth period. When the pregnant buds are close to flowering, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied 1-2 times to ensure that the seedlings can get enough nutrients during flowering and flowering, which not only makes the petals larger and more tender, but also facilitates the growth of bulbs. When planting in a large area, pay attention to ventilation, ventilation, and moderate shade. If it is a small planting or potted plant, you should set up style to prevent flower branches from breaking. Although there are not many diseases and insect problems in lily, it is necessary to strengthen the prevention and control.

In addition, proper pruning should be carried out after the flowering period, and the branches after flowering are cut off.

The cost of growing lilies:

The cost of lily seeds per mu is about 3,000 yuan. This is a big project. If it is a large company, such as 1,200 mu of lily, it needs to invest a lot of money, but the market value is also very high. Moreover, the deep processing of lilies has high added value. The annual profit of planting 1,000 mu of lilies can reach 5 million. Lilies in some places have also received strong support from the state, and many people have become rich because of this. Lily Garden can also be combined with rural tourism to create special leisure and sightseeing projects in the form of flower seas and delicacies to attract tourists.

In the past two years, the cultivation and management of lily have been very good, so the price of lily has been very unstable in recent years, so you need to pay attention to the local market. The cultivation of edible lilies is also a good project, and the cultivation and further processing of edible lilies can be considered.
