    Now there is a lot of speculation about the lily-tree. What sellers do not promise to sell their goods! And abundant bloom, and growth is almost twice as high as human. But in fact, flower growers are often disappointed.

    I have long grown tall lilies - about 120-140 cm. They are terry, have very large flowers, which are quite low on the stem. Bloom for a very long time. But these are cut lilies, which over time cease to amaze with color and growth.

    I wrote from abroad bulbs of gladioli, tulips and lilies. There were 50 in packages. In the first year, their flowering simply fascinated and delighted. It was a real miracle - a whole plantation of gorgeous flowers, in the second year the number decreased by 5 times: something died, something did not survive in the winter, some were reborn, the color of the flower changed. Thought it was me doing something wrong. But a man who is fond of growing lilies told me that this is usually the case with many imported bulbs. At first they bloom profusely, and then they quickly grow weak. After all, they need special care, treatment for viruses, but we do not have such drugs. Therefore, foreign lilies degenerate.

    I want to introduce you to the eukomis, or pineapple lily. I drew attention to her as soon as I saw the image of the eukomis on the package with onions. Then I was weakly assured that I could grow such beauty, but I did it! If you don’t know what kind of flower it is, think about it - pineapple.

    It turned out "pineapple" is not at all capricious. In general, he, like all Lukovinsky, needs watering only in drought, he loves heat and sun, does not tolerate fresh manure. In the middle of September it should be dug out and put in a cool place, so that in the spring it is again planted and then admired with its beauty.

    Lilies are wonderful flowers with a wonderful aroma. At the same time, they are surprisingly hardy and easy to care for. I grow lilies in a diffused light plot. I dig the soil for planting 30-40 cm, as the roots of the plant go deep.
    I plant lilies in mid-April and early May. Before planting the bulbs, I soak for half an hour in potassium permanganate (5 g per 10 l of water). Planting depth depends on the diameter of the bulb. For large bulbs, I make holes with a depth of 15-20 cm. For small bulbs, I make 8-10 cm. I pour a thin layer of dry river sand on the bottom, then place the onion and fill it with soil on top.
    When the lilies proklyutsya, gently loosen the soil and make fertilizing with mineral fertilizer. With the onset of heat, the top layer of the soil should not dry out. I water the lilies before and after flowering in the evening only under the root, I avoid getting water on the leaves, so as not to provoke diseases and burns. The soil around the plants is weeded and loosened. In 1, the year after the landing, I delete the buds that have appeared. Plants above 1 m tie. Wilted flowers are removed, and the flower stalks in autumn cut off at ground level. For the winter mulch the soil around the lilies with dry leaves.
