Propagation and cultivation techniques of Lily

I. efficacy and distribution

Lily is also known as mountain lily, medicine lily, wild lily, horn, rock lily and so on. Lily is excellent in both food and medicine, with bulbs for edible or medicinal purposes, with the effects of moistening the lungs and relieving cough, clearing the heart and calming the mind. Main treatment of lung heat cough, blood in sputum, restlessness, restlessness, nosebleed, amenorrhea and other symptoms. As a non-staple food, it can moisturize the lungs and relieve cough. It is cultivated all over the country.

2. Breeding methods

Bulbs, scales and bulbs are used to propagate mainly, and seeds can also be used for propagation. Among them, the method of dividing bulbs is the most commonly used, and the method of scale cutting is also widely used. The method of dividing bulbs and sowing is only suitable for a few species.

1. When the bulbs are dug up every autumn, there are several small bulbs of different sizes on the underground stem nodes of the stem. These bulbs are plucked and planted, and then cultured for 1-2 years. In order to make lilies have more bulbs, the following measures can be taken:

(1) the bulb is properly deeply planted so that the underground part of the stem grows relatively, which is conducive to the production of small bulbs.

(2) after flowering, the aboveground stem will be left 40 cm to cut off the upper stem leaves, which can promote the underground stem nodes to form small bulbs; third, after flowering, the stems will be shallowly buried in the soil, promoting the formation of small bulbs between the leaves and viscera; and fourth, the stems and leaves will be cut into small segments after flowering. 3-4 pieces of leaves in each section are shallowly buried in wet sand, and after a certain period of time, small bulbs can be produced in the leaf organs.

two。 Scale cutting method. Select the well-developed lily, dig it up after flowering, dry for a few days, peel off the scales when the bulb loses water and the surface shrinks slightly, insert the base downward into the humus soil, water it thoroughly after insertion, and then maintain a certain moisture of the soil, but it should not be watered too much, otherwise it is easy to rot.

III. Cultivation techniques

Most lilies like light. They should be planted in sunny places in the north and slightly shady places in the south. Some species, such as deer lily, white flower lily, etc., like semi-shady environment; some species, such as Tianxiang lily, Sichuan lily, etc., avoid direct sunlight in the seedling stage. Therefore, planting and placement sites should be treated differently. The potted soil should be mixed with humus (or peat soil), sandy soil, garden soil, and 3 pieces of hoof slices at the bottom of the pot as base fertilizer. The planting time varies with different varieties, and most varieties are suitable for about two months after flowering, generally from early September to early October. The thickness of soil cover is from the beginning of September to the first ten days of October. The thickness of the covered soil is generally about 2-3 times the diameter of the bulb. From spring sprouting to early flowering, mature thin cake fertilizer and water should be applied every 10 to 15 days to promote flowers and leaves to flourish and bulbs to enrich. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied twice at flowering stage. After flowering, the residual flowers should be cut off in time to reduce nutrient consumption. It is better to water to keep the basin soil slightly moist. If the basin soil is too wet and poorly ventilated, the bulbs are easy to rot. Continuous cropping of lilies is avoided and the potted soil should be changed once a year. In addition, we should also pay attention to the frequent rotation of the basin to prevent the plant shape from deviating from the length and affect the ornamental effect. The florescence is about May to July, the florescence is short, and the fruit maturity is August and September. In general, after the plants are withered and yellow in summer and autumn, the bulbs can be dug, slightly cooled and dried, hidden in the sand to be planted in the coming year.
