Lilies can be planted in autumn or spring. However, spring planting is much more common, because the risk of freezing delicate scales, devoid of external protection, is much smaller. So it is worth introducing these plants into your garden now. We suggest how to plant them and where to place, as well as how to fertilize to make them bloom for a long time.
We plant lilies in the case of frost -resistant varieties in March. However, for other plants, April or the beginning of May will be the optimal date. We plant the onions deeper than the bulbs of tulips, i.e. at a depth of about 20 cm.
Before planting It is worth pouring a layer of gravel to the bottom, which will allow drainage of the substrate. Then, in the prepared holes, place the onions with a heel down and cover them with loose soil. Gently knead the ground and water the freshly planted lily bulbs abundantly water. Let’s do it, however, so that the water stream is dispersed to avoid rinsing the bulbs.
Not without significance is where our lilies will be. The sunny position will be the best for them, but they will also cope in partial shade. The high species of this plant should be placed in the secluded places and sheltered from the wind.
Besides Lilies should be planted in permeable pH from 5.5 to 6.5i.e. in slightly acidic soil. The exception are white lilies and hybrids of Asian lily, which feel better in the neutral.

After planting the lily, it is worth not only properly nurturing them, but also Power at home ways that will swing even more beautifully. One of the best methods is to prepare a slurry from nettle. This is due to the fact that nettle abounds in minerals and microelements, which are a real treasury of nutrients, leaving lilies to long flowering.
For this purpose You only need 1 kg of nettle, cut into small pieces and throw it into a large container. Pour them with 10 liters of water and leave the whole for 2-4 weeks, leaving the container in the shade and stirring the liquid from time to time. At the moment when the manure stops foaming We can remove soaked nettles from it and start using a homemade conditioner.
Remember, however, that A concentrated slurry is not used for lily fertilization, so it should be diluted by combining with water in a ratio of 1:10. We water the plants with such a prepared solution once every two weeks. Thanks to this homemade lilie conditioner They will grow healthier and their flowering will be more abundant and longer.
