Blossoms usually continue for about two weeks. Asian lilies are very good for cutting, they are beautifully in a vase, all the buds of lilies are gradually dismissed, only you need to remove faded inflorescences in time. The smell of these flowers do not have, and this is good, since the strong aroma of other varieties of lilies collected in the bouquet and left in the room for the night can cause human headache.
Lily Asian, landing in the ground
Livestocking or transplantation can be engaged in both in spring and autumn. They do not require shelter for the winter, but in the first year when landing under the winter it is better to hide them. Asian hybrids love neutral, slightly acidic soil. They grow well both on sunny and slightly shaded places, water stagnation does not like.
For active growth and good plant flowering, it is necessary to choose high-quality planting material. Bulb lilies should be solid, healthy, not to have spots and noticeable flaws. It is better to buy large bulbs, as the plants that grow out of small bulbs may not be bloated in the first year after landing. In order to destroy potential pests, lily bulbs after purchase should be treated with carbofos solution.
Before landing, it is necessary to store bulbs in a dark, cool place, covering them with sawdust, moss or damp cloth.
Lilies are planted in prepared wells or trenches. The depth of the wells should not exceed 35-40 cm. Pour some river sand on the bottom and make a small tubercle from it. It will not give the roots of the bulbs to moisten. Then the bulb must be put (preferably sideways) in the hole on the sand, on top, also sprinkle with river sand and, only after that cover the earth. To the ground you need to add compost or humid, to pour from above and climb sawdust.
Asian Lilies - Care and Growing
The cultivation of Asian lilies is no particular complexity. In one place without transplanting lily, you can grow three or four years. They can sit and longer, but then the number of buds on the flower will gradually decrease, the height of the blooming will decrease, the bulb will be weakened and can get sick, which will lead to the death of the plant. If there are many short underdeveloped stalks on the main stem, which means that the bulbs in the nest are closely and their time to dig. The bulbs need to be removed from the ground, carefully divided and put on a new place. At the old place of lily can be grown only in two years.
Undercaming Lily Asian
The first feeding must be made only when Lily will grow to a height of 10-15 cm. For
Fucking need to use a solution of potassium nitrate. Repeat this procedure is necessary periodically, with an interval of 10-15 days. At the stage of formation of buds and their staining, fade by plants is especially important. But during flowering fertilizers should not be made, as this can lead to a rapid completion of flowering. The last feeding should be made no later than August 15, it must be done then to restore the blossoms weakened by blossom. Faded flowers must be removed along with the urging and prevent the seed boxes to be formed. In the fall, when the leaves of lily will begin shirt, the plants are needed to trim at the soil level and burn them, since they are not suitable for compost.
Forcing asian lilies
Asian hybrids, in contrast to other types of lilies, can be used to distill. In September, you need a large and healthy bulb to put in a flower pot, to cover it from the rain and before the onset of frosts leave it on the street. With the onset of winter, the pot with Lilia must be put in the basement. In January or at the beginning of February, the pot with Lilia must be put in a room in which the temperature does not exceed 10-15 degrees. After a couple of weeks, transfer the pot into the room, and soon the plant will bloom. If the lighting in the room is not strong enough, you can use the shower. To distill, it is better to take a variety with a brighter color, as when the flower color is distorted, it turns out more brighter. After the end of flowering, such a bulb needs to be planted into the open ground, it will go down the strength there, and will continue to develop normally.
Reproduction of Asian lilies
Lilies can be multiplied by several ways:
- the division of the nest of bulbs, in which in the fall slightly fade the main bulb, the little bulb is separated and planted on a new place;
- breeding children who are formed on the roots of the main bulbs;
- reproduction of scales when scales are separated from the bulbs and use them as a new planting material;
- the reproduction of stem bobbies that appear on the stem of lily, fall, rooted, then digging them and transplanted in a new place.
In reproduction by all the methods listed above, the new young lilies will bloom only in two years.
Diseases and pests of Asian lilies
In cold and rainy weather, lilies may be amazed by a disease called Botritis. It manifests itself in the appearance of plants of reddish-brown spots on the leaves, which can later capture all the leaves and buds. In this case, it is necessary to spray Lilies by the Bordeaux or Burgundy liquid. The bulbs of plants may be sick of fusariosis (Rinch of the Lukovitz Donets).
