How to propagate the lily of the valley

The lily of the valley, also known as the valley lily, is exquisite and elegant with a fresh and pleasant fragrance of flowers, symbolizing purity and happiness in France. So, how do these flowers and plants reproduce? Lily of the valley is generally propagated by ramet or sowing, and the ramet is mostly carried out in spring and autumn, and the stem bud is cut into segments for planting. If the bud of the plant grows fat, it will usually blossom in the spring of the second year; on the other hand, the propagation by sowing is mostly carried out in autumn, and the seeds in ripe berries are sown.

Lily of the valley is divided into soil planting and potted plants, the following editor gives you a brief introduction:

1. Soil planting

First of all, we should choose a good planting site, and choose more shady hillsides backed by the sun, requiring that the soil is rich in humus, which can be planted in forests or grasslands.

It is appropriate to plant in deep ploughed and fertile soil, and it is recommended to replant every 3-4 years, or alternately with other flowers and plants. When planting, keep the row spacing between 25-20 cm, ensure that each lily has 3-4 buds, then cover 5-6 cm thick soil, and water once after planting.

2. Potted plants

Young plants of lily used for potted plants should select strong rhizome buds during November, then store them in 3-5 ℃ for 2-3 weeks before taking them out and planting them in pots, and need to ensure that there are 4-5 buds in each flowerpot, so as to ensure that the plants grow luxuriantly in the future conservation and management process.

The growth period of sowing and reproduction is longer than that of ramets, and it usually takes 3-4 years from sowing to flowering. And at ordinary times, we should pay attention to keep the basin soil in a moist state, and at the same time, we should shade properly to avoid sunburn, because lily of the valley is a cold-tolerant and shade-tolerant plant, and we also need to do a good job in weeding in time. Only when the maintenance and management work is done can the joy of flowering be harvested.
