Cultivation methods of musk lily

Pot soil

Choose a flower pot with good air permeability and put it on the substrate, which requires rich humus and drainage. For better results, you can mix leaf mold soil, garden soil and fine sand. The soil should be slightly acidic. As your musk lily grows, it's best to change the potting soil every year.

Light and temperature

Musk lily is a long-day plant, and the length of daylight hours has an important impact on the growth and flowering of musk lily. Musk lily requires sufficient light, preferably scattered light, to avoid direct sunlight. In summer, the sun is strong and needs to be shaded. In winter, the daylight hours are short, and lights can be used to supplement the light. Musk lily likes warmth, and can grow normally when the temperature is between 10°C and 25°C. However, if it is lower than 5°C or exceeds 25°C, it will affect the growth and flowering of the plant. Temperature control needs to be done to maintain the appropriate temperature for flowering.

Water and fertilizer management

Proper water and fertilizer management is also the key to the good growth of musk lily. Watering should be appropriate. It is better if the pot soil is slightly moist. The air humidity should be maintained at a high level. You can spray water on the plants frequently, but do not allow water to accumulate in the pot. Fertilization work must also be done properly. Before flowering, in order to ensure sufficient nutrients, thin liquid fertilizer can be applied every half month. During flowering, some phosphate fertilizer and potassium fertilizer can be applied.

Precautions for cultivating musk lily

Precautions for flowering

Musk lily is mainly for ornamental flowers, and flowering is very important. During its growth period, the flower pot should be rotated frequently to avoid deformation of the plant; provide sufficient light, as excessive shade will reduce flowering; maintain sufficient moisture; remove remaining flowers in time after the musk lily blooms; and pay attention to preventing diseases and insect pests.

Pests and diseases

During the growth period, musk lilies may suffer from blind flowers or flower cracks, as well as soft rot and leaf spot diseases. In addition, musk lilies are attacked by pests such as root mites and grubs.

Propagation method

Musk lily is a bulbous flower, and propagation by bulbing is its main method. In addition, musk lily can also be propagated by scale cuttings or seeds.
