You can grow this queen on your summer cottage from a small bulb. If you want to buy several livi bulbs, you need to choose the bulbs as large as possible so that they are elastic. The upper sheath or scales should not be dry. Buy material for landing is better with the onset of spring, and until the landing is stored in a cool, protected place, right in the package. If there is no such possibility, then in the refrigerator, by placing onto the bottom shelf.

From time to time it is necessary to check the bulbs in order not to miss the wake-up phase. If the first sprout noted, the packaging must be deployed to not damage the plant.

Lily after landing will feel great in one place for several years. Frequent transplants can only harm.

Growing and care for lilies in the fall

To understand how to care for lilies in the fall, we learn how to grow these beautiful flowers.

Therefore, briefly read the rules of growing colors:

2. Be careful: without nitrogen fertilizer is made in autumn, and with nitrogen content - in spring.
3. You need to make feeding 2 times a year: in the fall in October, and the first sprouts will appear from under the ground.
4. The organic lilies do not like, but wood ash is simply necessary. She protects the plant from pests.
5. Flowers grow well under conditions when the upper part is under sunlight, and the roots are in the shade. Then the soil does not dry and does not overheat. You can achieve such a result like this: to plant lilies together with bells and loyabers.
6. Lilies of the Vostochny variety do not like soil to sing, and "Asian" - a lot of lime in the ground, and this variety still needs to transplant every 2 years.
7. In the leaving of the plant is unpretentious, bloom will be long, if there is periodically watering flowers.
8. How to cut lilies: you need to leave a part of the stem with the leaves so that the bulbs continue to develop. Cut the flowers at an angle so that the moisture is rolling and did not get into the middle. Excessive humidity damages the plant.
9. In the autumn period, the stalks are cut off by 10-20 cm from the ground. Preparation for winter: mandatory mulching with peat.

Autumn preparation of lilies for winter

Beginner flower descendant does not know how to properly care for lilies and bulbs in the fall. A lot of questions accumulate: what a fertilizer to make, what to do with lilies with the onset of autumn and the most important question, is it necessary to prepare lilies for the winter? Some gardeners will recommend anything to do anything, as nature itself takes care of everything. And some are still prone to help the plants overvaluate.

The first position: do nothing before wintering, loosen the soil, water and feed. Let everything go to her! Perhaps some plants will survive, but there will be no so much. If there is a huge desire for the next year to admire the beautiful plants on the flower plants, then you have to make maximum effort.

Answers to frequently asked questions:

• preparation for wintering should be started as early as possible. Immediately, even before landing lilies, it is desirable to determine the level of groundwater. If they are located almost on the surface, then at the first occasion of snow, all the bulbs will be in water. Naturally, with an elevated level of humidity and a lack of heat, bulbs may die. So that this does not happen, it is necessary to make drainage or - a high bed;
• do I need to dig lilies in the fall? If the climate is moderate, then you should not do anything. On the ground of the plants, with due preparation, will be perfectly transferred to wintering. So, the "Martagon", "Liliya Daursk", "Asian Hybrid", "Royal Lilia", do not require transplant, as stable even to severe frosts. But without proper care, it is not necessary to do a special shelter. If there is a rare variety and more such bulbs, then it is better to dig lilies and keep them in the cold season in the fridge or in the basement. Such a variety as "American Lilia", "Tubular", "East Hybrid", do not carry a harsh climate, even if they are well insulated. You need to dig bulbs, stored in the basement or refrigerator;
• the bulbs of the grade "Asian hybrid" over the summer greatly grow up, so every year to update the plant, you need to dig them. If this is not done, then the kids that appeared in the warmth (during the summer) will increase tightly to the maternal bulb and the next year to separate them will be problematic. Naturally, with the onset of spring, severe massive bulb also takes a lot of moisture and nutrients. The result is a weak plant, flowering may not be. Therefore, the rhizomes need to dig for necessarily, cut the kids and leave indoors to wintering;
• pruning - needed, leave a part of the stem, up to 10 cm high. It is necessary to proceed to this procedure after all the colors are cut. That is - after flowering. And most importantly - you do not need to completely pull out or trimmed the root stems, because you can destroy lily. Cut from only after the stems become dry;
• undercalinking lilies in the fall: Nutrients are made in the first week of autumn. These must be phosphoric or potassium-containing fertilizers. In no case cannot be made nitrogen. How to prepare a nutritional mixture: Take 1 tsp. Superphosphate and as much potash salt. Prepare a bucket, pour hot water into it (5 l), pour fertilizers, mix. Under each bush need to make no more than 500 ml of fertilizer. Water should be warm. After a day it is necessary to jumble soil;
• will the lilies for wintering? Yes, it is advisable to hide to protect the bulbs from moving. What to take for shelter: straw, sawdust, dry leaves, but best - hive. The shelter will be stuck, so slugs and rodents will not be able to attack this plant. The mulch layer is at least 10 cm. By the way, the snow is also a warm "blanket", so if the winter was released a snowy - it is only a plus;
• how to protect the plant from excess moisture? The variety "Eastern Hybrid" absorbs water well, so even if it is good to mulch the soil, with relatively warm and snowy winter, lilies can still die. This is due to the fact that the bulbs absorb a lot of moisture. To protect plants from death, it is necessary when landing lilies, in the fall, take care that the beds are high.

Plant lilies in autumn

When is it better to transplant lily: in autumn or spring? Experienced gardeners will say - in the fall, because in the spring work there is always a lot: you need to plant all garden crops, clean up the whole plot, to pay attention to trees and shrubs. Therefore, work related to the in the fall, including lilies, is better to fulfill at this time of the year.

Landing technology:

1. Preparation of space and soil: suitable half or well-lit place. The soil must be drained.
2. Reproduction of lilies in autumn: dividing nests and bushes. To do this, you must first prepare a place to transplant: Make a hole, a depth of 3 times more than the height of the bulbs. That is, in each specific case, the height of the well can be different. The gap between the wells is at least 15 cm. It is important that the bulbs of the lilies are not swept away, for this in each well you need to pour out a bit of large sand, it moisturizes the soil. Water - as needed, to loosen the land around plants is often impossible, because the lilies do not endure this. Landing: The bulb needs to be put in the prepared hole, trust the sand top, slightly tamper, fall asleep with sand and earth. We recommend right to put plates with the date to do not forget that we planted in this place.
3. Living landing in autumn. Dates: it is impossible to say exactly when the lilies can be started in the fall into the ground, because it all depends on weather conditions. If it is too early to land, then the bulbs can go into growth, and this is destructive for lilies. Therefore, it is necessary to navigate the average temperature: if the temperature is held within a day within 10 degrees and does not rise, it is time to start landings. Approximately: For residents of the middle strip of Russia: the dates of landing from the 2nd half of September to the 2nd half of October, November - no exception, if there is no frost. Planting in the Urals: In September, the maximum is the beginning of October. Living lilies in autumn in Siberia: September - beginning of October.
4. How to plant lilies with sprouts. It happens that the store sells bulbs with small sprouts (up to 5 cm) and there are no other options. How to proceed? Wait for the desired moment, until the sprouts are growing a little. As soon as they reach a height of 20 cm, it's time to start landing. Very and very neat, the sprouts need to try to get out of the bulbs, then run the landing. Be sure to weaken the bulb should be hidden for the winter so that the flowers do not died. There is one more option: Immediately after the purchase, put on the bulbs in a spacious pot, and with the onset of spring to transplant into open ground. It is troublesome, because care for lilies in a pot is not easy.

When are lilies planted in autumn?

Each variety of lilies - different dates of flowering. Also, the flowering period depends on the climate.

In the fall, Lilia is actively blooming if the weather conditions allow and properly selected the grade of the plant.

Lilies "Asian hybrids" varieties quickly ripen, because from the wake-up before the start of flowering passes only 70-90 days. The first bloom begins at the beginning of summer.

If you plant "Eastern hybrids", then bloom can be extended to the autumn itself, because depending on weather conditions, the maturation time ranges ranging from 80 to 140 days!

This happens often, for example, during the sale of spring goods, the bulbs were not bare, even with small sprouts. It is impossible to influence this situation, you will have to correct. In order to save the planted bulbs, you need to crop all seedlings, and then hide, sprinkle with a layer of earth mixed with black ground pepper. Such fragrant soil will scare rodents. In the soil I still need to add a little humoring.
