Introduction of palace lantern lily how to cultivate palace lantern lily

The palace lantern lily is delicate in appearance, exquisite and lovely, with orange flower bell and bright green stems and leaves, which is very lovable and is an excellent material for flower arrangement and bride bouquet. Its natural germination rate is low, the growth time is long, and the requirement to the environment is high, so it always belongs to the high unit price flower. At present, it is a fashionable cut flower in the world, especially in New Zealand. So, do you know the breeding method of palace lantern lilies? Let's take a look.

I. introduction of palace lantern lilies

The palace lantern lily is a perennial bulbous herb with golden bell-shaped flowers, which can adapt to a wide range of temperature and light changes, so it can grow normally indoor and outdoor in temperate and subtropical regions. It takes 9-12 weeks from planting to flowering and 21-25 weeks from planting to harvesting bulbs. The shape is soft and beautiful, the florescence is long, and the vase life can reach 2-3 weeks. Practice has proved that considerable benefits can be obtained in both bulb production and cut flower production. The palace lantern lily is a unique variety, and its golden bell-shaped flowers are a good witness. The palace lantern lily originated from the wet grassland with rainy summer and low winter temperature (during this period the lily is in a state of natural dormancy) and Rain Water.

Second, the culture of palace lantern lilies

The bulbs are planted in spring and can germinate in 2-3 weeks when the ground temperature is higher than 16 ℃. If the climate is cold or dormant for less than 16 weeks, we recommend budding. In a suitable environment, the plant can blossom in 45-60 days. The natural dormancy period of the lily bulb takes at least 12 weeks, but cold storage can break the dormancy. Generally speaking, the whole growth cycle takes about 20-25 weeks. If the temperature in this period is low, the growth period will be prolonged.

1. Environmental condition

Under the conditions of high soil temperature (18-24 ℃), windproof, rain and sun exposure, Gongdenlantern lily grows best. Recent studies have shown that high temperature will lead to growth and flowering, such as high temperature in summer will shorten the growth cycle, but the length of flower stem will be shortened accordingly, so that the number of flowers will be reduced. Therefore, we recommend that it be harvested at least 60 days later. If you plant in late winter or early spring, be sure to keep the substrate temperature in the greenhouse.

two。 Planting requirement

The palace lantern lily is a temperate crop with good water permeability of the growth substrate and regular watering. The substrate should be disinfected regularly with fungicides, preferably in a well-ventilated greenhouse. The optimum soil temperature for growth is 15-22 ℃ and the optimum temperature for growth is 12-28 ℃.

3. Light

More than 90% of the light can make the stems and leaves strong, and the golden bell flowers brighter.

4. Moisture content

Palace lantern lilies are easily affected by high salt, especially sodium salt. This happens more easily in artificial substrates than in soil. Too high salinity will lead to water shortage. It is recommended to irrigate for 20-30 minutes a day from the 17th week after planting, and use an electrical conductivity meter to detect soil electrical conductivity regularly. The symptoms of high salinity in the plant are yellow leaves, weak growth, brown leaves or even total chlorosis. Green-lost plants are often mistaken for being susceptible. This chlorosis is more likely to be caused by high ion concentration and is not susceptible to disease. Watering from the top in the first 8 weeks after planting, changing the tee belt in the next 9 weeks, and stopping watering after 17 weeks of planting. The seed balls were harvested after 4-6 weeks of water suspension.

5. Growth cycle

It takes 9-12 weeks from planting to flowering and 21-25 weeks from planting to harvesting bulbs.
