The variety of coloring and majestic species of lilies cause true delight not only in flower growers. It is absolutely simple to grow up them, it is only necessary to know how to make it then to behold such beauty.
Uncountable variety of grades of these magnificent flowers blows the mind. Having seen the dismissed flowers, it is necessary to fall in love with them.
As well as other bulbous, lilies are hardy plants. Easily transfer drought, and are sensitive to overwetting. Well grow on poor soils, do not love the chernozem. In the heavy damp soil to roots does not gasp and they decay. Bulbs are long stored if it is competent to pack and store them in the cool place. Before landing it is good to wet them in weak solution of potassium permanganate, it will promote the best rooting.
The place for landing
The place has to be solar, blackout is undesirable. The site on which water lingers will not approach – bulbs will die. It is good if the soil sandy, with plant debris. It does it friable, and lilies love the air-permeable soil. It is possible to plant them and to the chernozem premixed with sand or compost. Fresh manure is not suitable for these purposes.
Landing of lilies
Separate group land on 5-6 bulbs, distance from each other of 10-15 cm. The subsequent groups can be imprisoned through 35-40 cm. Ranks put so: if bulbs large, them have through 20 cm, and small through 10 cm. There is still way of jumping by tapes when 4-5 rows form tape, distance between rows of 30 cm or it is more, and between tapes of 50 cm.
As for depth of seal of bulbs: large bulbs put on 15 cm deep into, small on 10 cm, and children on 7 cm.
Flight connections
Annual change promotes preservation of grade, the otsazhivaniye of children excludes density. Also allows to keep bulbs healthy. During the summer the bulb falls deep into almost by 15 cm. In these conditions it is subject to diseases therefore it needs change.
It is possible to plant bulbs in the spring at low positive temperature that will accelerate rooting. In hot weather the planting stock will be lost. Spring landings should be loosened, in due time to feed up and water. Lilia, put in the fall, manage to take roots well and do not suffer from drought in May.
How to water lilies
If there is hot weather, at normal watering they will grow, but it is excessive to fill in them with water it is impossible. Loosening of the dried-up soil in intervals between waterings is required, it will provide normal intake of air to roots.
What lilies are ill
The mosaic does plant pale with transparent strips, buds at them non-uniform coloring, and on flowers strips appear. Mosaic grades of lilies with cherry and pink coloring are ill more often. It is possible to avoid this trouble if to break off flowers hands. It is impossible to use the same tool for cut. It is necessary to destroy in due time plant louse and nematode, they are carriers of infection. To remove the struck plants from the site and to burn.
Fusariosis is caused by mushroom fuzariumy. At this disease there is death of bulbs, the activator is in the soil. Infection of all landings is possible. Disputes of mushroom live in the earth if to plant healthy bulbs on the same place, disputes "will wake up" and attack them. The sour damp soil will promote spread of disease. It is impossible to fertilize lilies mullein at all – fusariosis is provided. For prevention of disease reduce doses of nitrogen-containing fertilizers, it is possible to use only calcic saltpeter in small doses. To destroy bulbs together with the adjacent earth.
Gray decay (botritis) appears when buds are formed. Especially progresses on sunny days after rain. Light-brown spots appear at first on the lower leaves, further extend on all trunk and reach buds. The plant perishes, and its bulb remains infected. The mushroom botritis is shown at damp weather. It is transferred by disputes, at the inaccurate address the infection of close planted lilies is inevitable. Processing is required by fungicide, it is enough in order that the disease has stopped. The main prophylactic – thinning of landings. The infected plants burn.
