1. Trim residual flowers:
After the lily blooms, the first job is pruning. To cut off the residual flowers, the pedicel should be cut off from 1/3 to 2/3, and the branches and leaves that are not growing well on the plant should be cut off, such as dead leaves, yellow leaves and diseased leaves. After pruning, plant ash should be used to disinfect the incision to ensure good ventilation and avoid the environment being too hot to breed germs.
2. The environment is suitable:
After flowering, the plants should be maintained, not exposed to the sun, properly illuminated, and well ventilated to restore their growth in a relatively cool environment.
3. Top dressing in time:
In order to restore the growth of lily plants better and faster after flowering, it is necessary to apply appropriate topdressing after flowering, and some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied to ensure sufficient nutrients, which can promote the growth and nutrient accumulation of lily bulbs, and the plants can bloom better in the second year after the bulbs are raised.
4. Digging seed balls:
After the lily blooms, if you need to dig a seed ball, you can do it after the lily withers. Cut off the residual flowers and stems first, and then dig out the seed balls for preservation. The dug bulbs can be used to propagate new plants or as ornamental lily seeds.
Through the above treatment, lily plants can better restore growth and prepare for next year's flowering.
