What fertilizer should be applied to Lily sprouting?

Lily is a bulbous plant with underground bulbs, and the bulbs can not only take root and sprout, but also divide into small bulbs, and can also grow into seedlings and bloom independently. Lilies usually use underground bulbs to propagate, and if all goes well, they can usually take root and sprout in a week.

After lily sprouting, it is often possible to apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer. But sometimes the bulbs of lilies can not blossom smoothly in the first year, especially the seedlings of lilies which grow in length and are not very mature. The first year after planting is often for the purpose of raising balls, and it usually blossoms smoothly in the second year.

In order to better promote the germination and growth of lilies, it is generally recommended that we apply sufficient fertilizer on the pot, usually with animal bone powder, which can supplement a lot of phosphorus and calcium for the plant, as well as some other trace elements. This plays an important role in promoting the rooting and germination of lily bulbs.

Bone powder is rich in phosphorus and calcium, as well as a variety of mineral elements. It is very helpful to promote the growth of plant root system and strengthen its bulb when it is used as the base fertilizer of lily. It can also lay a good foundation for plant flowering in the later stage, and bone powder is generally suitable to be used as base fertilizer.

After the lily takes root and sprouts, if topdressing, it is mainly to apply some thin compound fertilizer regularly, at the same time, it can also be combined with some flowers. In this way, it is not only conducive to the rooting and germination of the plant, make the plant grow more vigorously, but also play a good role in promoting the flowering of the plant in the later stage.

Of course, after all, lily is also a kind of acid-loving flower plant, which requires the basin soil to be slightly acidic. If the basin soil is salinized, it will inevitably affect its rooting and sprouting, and the plant will not grow well. Therefore, we can also apply a little ferrous sulfate solution to the plant to improve the soil quality. Properly increasing the acidity of potted soil can better promote the growth of lilies.
