To the flowers of lilies have different shapes and sizes, different colors, but none in shades of blue. The reproduction of lilies is very difficult in Brazil because of the climate, they are usually imported from Holland and planted here.
Despite this, the cultivation of lilies is relatively easy and they must be planted between autumn and winter so that they can have flowers in spring.
Lilies need substrate with good drainage, whether it's potted or garden. The chosen location should receive a lot of Sun light at least half of the day.
It's easiest to buy the bulbs ready to plant and place them in your chosen location right after purchase.
Make 10 to 15 cm holes in the soil and leave at least 15 cm between one bulb and another, place bone meal at the bottom and the bulbs on top, cover with soil until they get support.
After planting, water the earth so that the bulb has sufficient conditions to establish itself in that place.
Lilies don't need very constant watering, put water only when the ground is dry and this may vary according to the region you live.
In times more dry, it may be necessary to water three times a week, but in the rainy season, only once a week is enough.
Lilies are plants that need pruning during the flowering period so that they remain strong and healthy.
After the flowers have wilted, cut them off and keep two-thirds of the stem intact. The cut parts can be left at the base of the lilies, as they help protect the bulbs and retain moisture.
Lilies need indirect sunlight, especially during the hottest part of the day. Therefore, choose half-shaded places to place your lilies.
They tolerate colder places well, but more often than not, lilies go into dormancy, lose leaves, delay flowering.
However, they remain alive and after the period of hibernation, the plant returns to produce leaves and flowers. It is important to maintain soil fertilization even in periods of hibernation.
