Some varieties produce purple or green granular buds in the axils of leaves, which can be propagated into plantlets. Flowers born at the top of the stem, showing a raceme, clustered or solitary, Corolla larger, kaleidoscope longer, funnel-shaped trumpet-shaped, six-lobed without sepals, because of the slender stem, large flowers, open often drooping or flat extension; flower color, due to different varieties and colors, mostly yellow, white, pink, orange, some with purple or black spots, but also a flower with a variety of colors, very beautiful.

Fourth, the cultivation of foxtail lilies

First, soil preparation: fertilizing lilies have strong adaptability, and it is better to have a mild climate and sufficient sunshine. Potted soil is suitable for sandy loam with deep soil layer and good drainage, followed by clay, and waterlogged land is not suitable for planting. When planting, select the plot, apply circle fertilizer, soil fertilizer 4000 kg and superphosphate 40 kg per mu as base fertilizer; plough 20cm~30cm, rake fine and level it; make the border, border width 130cm, border length depends on the topography, Rain Water extra-large area should pile border to make ridges, ridge width 80cm~100cm, open drainage ditch, drainage ditch depth is 10cm~15cm, to prevent stagnant water.

2. Cultivation techniques: the lilies are generally harvested and dug in the middle and last ten days of July and buried in slightly moist sand for preservation, but they can also be kept in the basin without digging. Between September and October, the root buds are taken out and separated. On the whole land, the root buds are planted upward in the ditch according to the row spacing 25cm~30cm and plant spacing 5cm~20cm. The flat bed can be covered with soil 4cm~5cm, and the pit can be planted with 5cm~7cm. When planting, a small amount of water can be watered if the land is too dry, 130 kg ~ 150 kg per mu with root buds.

Third, pest control: pay attention to weeding in ploughing, shallow ploughing rather than deep ploughing, lily consumes its own nutrients in the early stage of growth, and blossoms in the later stage because of basal fertilizer in the middle stage. When the flower bud appears, it should be removed in time to reduce the nutrient consumption and increase the yield, and the lily is basically disease-free during the whole growth period. if the disease root rot is found, the root is infused with 50% wettable powder 500 times when the disease occurs. Insect pests are mainly aphids, which can be controlled by common low-toxic insecticides.
