How to grow from seeds?
The cultivation of lilies from seeds at home is not difficult. You can purchase seeds in special store or collect yourself in advance. Method is painstaking but efficient. He is considered the most safe - The risk of diseases comes down to a minimum.
Process preparation
Collection produced exclusively Only in healthy plants - brown seed boxes are selected, which are not yet disclosed. One contains up to 200 pieces. Seeds that have already matured, have the form of oval, brown color, slightly oblong. The length of them is 5 mm, and the thickness is 1 mm.
Landing is possible immediately after collecting, but preliminary processing The cold is desirable - at a temperature of 2-4 degrees lasting a few weeks.
How is sowing?
The best time for him - the end of March. Bloom Lily after expiration 1.5-2 years old After the first sprouts go.
How to sow?
A detailed scheme, how to grow lilies from seeds at home:
- The land mixture is prepared - the sand is coarse-grained, the earth is leaf and hardening in equal shares and charcoal;
- it is stacked at the bottom of the seedlings drainage, the soil is embanked on top;
- seeds are sown with an interval of 1-1.5 cm and sprinkled with sand;
- it is accurate watering;
- the box is covered with glass or film.
At the same time, the temperature regime is maintained 20-25 degrees and the place for germination is chosen dark.
Growing from Lukovitz
During their purchase, first turns attention On how they look.
Ideal on bulbs without damage, with good density and hardness.
The roots of them must be alive, and the diameter - from 4 cm.
Previously, the bulbs are placed in the refrigerator for 1-2 months to cross sprouts.
Further, the bottom of the container is laid out with a drainage layer of 5 cm - clamzite, pebbles or broken bricks. The following layer is a land mixture, thick up to 10 cm. The bulbs are put up with spickers up and sprinkled with a layer of soil 18-20 cm. Soil moisturizes warm water. From it to the side, the distance in the height should be about 7-8 cm, so that it was possible to shine the earth after germination.
The season of the year for landing will suit any.
Bloom will be observed after 2-3 months when providing right lighting. Place choose wet and warm, watering is recommended at intervals of 4 days.
We visually familiarize yourself with how to grow lilies from the bulbs, you can on the video below:
How to grow from tubers?
First, they are processed by a solution of manganese and dried. Next, the place is selected - it must be a half. The bottom of the tank is laid out by pebbles or brick crumbto extra moisture It was not stuffed. Do not cut the root system. The tubers are placed in small wells and sprinkled with peat and prepared soil.
Landing depth It is proportion to the bulWhi itself - the distance from the top layer is three times the greater height. For low species, this is about 12 cm, medium - to 15, and high - within 21, when taking into account the normal acidity of the soil.
Watering Moderate needed. The rooting process should pass at a temperature mode + 5-10 degrees. From the moment of landing before the start of flowering will be held 3-4 months. Upon reaching a height sprout, 10 cm into the container is the soil, leaving to the edge of 1-2 cm. It must be loosened - the upper layer by 3-4 cm for regular air intake.
Growing in a pot
In it, Lilia grows up to 1.5 meters or takes the type of compact cooking. Consider how to grow lilies in a pot.
Diversification
Before growing lilies in pots, it is important to perform several stages:
- carefully choose planting material - The bulbs are tight, weighing from 40 grams;
- the variety of lilies is selected;
- stratification is carried out at a temperature of +5 degrees within two weeks;
- the planting material is soaked in mangartee for a couple of hours and 12 hours in fertilizers.
The pot is used in accordance with agrotechnical standards.
The greater the flower height, the overall container for planting. With the growth of lily 1.5 meters of wall, the pot must be at least 35-40 cm high. One planting place takes up to 15 sq.m. For a pot with a radius of 20 cm Maximum number of tubers - 4 pieces.
Before starting landing in a pot selected The required composition of the soil is the ferry soil and humus in the same fractions. Drainage is laid on the bottom, and from above - soil composition. Next, the container is disinfecting with boiling water with fungicides and manganese. The planting material is deepened in the land mixture and moderately watering. When the sprouts reached a height of 10 cm, you can feed them.
Start growing house liliesAnd they will rejoice long for long blossom and pleasant fragrance.
Lilies - one of the most beautiful garden flowers. A modern variety of varieties is simply amazing imagination: a wide range of shades and the elegant shape of large flowers cannot leave indifferent, and the army of fans of lilies is growing day away. These flowers look great in single and group landings, in flower beds and along garden tracks. In addition, Lily is fine in the cut, which allows you to admire her beauty without leaving the house.
Lilies are grown in several ways: dividing bulbs, scales, stalling leaves and seeds. Gardeners more often use the first two of them, simpler and familiar. Seed reproduction - The process is longer, and waiting for flowering from young plants will have 3 to 4 years. However, this method is a great opportunity to get immediately a large number of Lilies, without it, it is impossible to create new varieties, and for wild species, such reproduction is most natural.
First of all, you need to know what kind of lilies include seeds. The fact is that different lilies have their own temperature modesAt which the seeds germinate the most successful. In addition, some kinds of germination are overhead, and others have underground, which is also reflected on the peculiarities of the seeding. But you can go more light way And, as the experience of many gardeners shows, most of the lilies are soon or later at a temperature of 20 - 25 ° C and sufficient soil moisture. Also, almost all seeds of lilies do not need preliminary stratification (cold processing) or marking. The presence of lighting also does not have a significant effect on the germination of seeds - they germinate both in light and in the dark.
The seeds of the lilies quickly lose their germination, so it is recommended to disembark them for the second year after collecting. Also before planting it is desirable to treat them in 1 - 2% solution of hydrogen peroxide or in chlorine lime. Some experienced gardeners Used to process seeds 0.04% zinc sulfate solution. Experience shows that the soaking of seeds for 15 hours increases the speed of germination of seeds and reduces the risk of damage by bacteria.
Seed seeds to seedlings in February - March. Most suitable primer For seeding, a mixture of leaf land and sand. Also, the substrate for lilies is prepared on the basis of garden land, adding peat, humid and sand to it. Seeds are sowed to a depth of 0.5 cm in the boxes or a capacity of a depth of 10 cm, then sprinkled with earth or sand. Sevings are watered using the sprayer.
If you grow lilies in mini-greenhouse, then shoots will appear a little faster, and the germination will be higher. The shelter is preserved until the sprouts appear, then the film or glass begin to shoot for several hours a day, then remove completely.
When sprouts are shown, the conditions of the seedlings are changing somewhat. Seedlings need to provide multiple sunlight throughout the day and reduce air temperature to 12 - 20 ° C. The entire period of seedlings regularly watered, not allowing even short-term drying of the soil.
As soon as the seedlings appear the first leaflets, they are seated into individual containers, observing the distance between the seedlings at least 5 cm. Caring for seedlings all this time does not change and lies in lighting, watering and careful soil looser.
In late May - early June, it comes time to plant seedlings in open sad. The landing place should be chosen carefully, because lilies are not more frequent than once every 3 to 4 years. The plot may be both in the bright sun and in a slightly privided place. The soil must be fertile, light and well-drained. Before boarding it, it is desirable to accurately, adding a little overwhelmed manure or compost.
Young plants planted at a distance of 30 - 40 cm from each other, given that they will grow with time. It should be remembered that the lilies are moisture, and do not forget about the additional watering in hot summer days. To loosen the soil around the lilies should be extremely careful not to damage the bulbs located near the surface. Regular care and timely feeding will help get healthy plants, which for many years will delight their lush flowering.
Some gardeners recommend landing seeds directly to the ground late fall. In this case, the landing should be thoroughly mulching a cheese or dry foliage, and in winter Well covered with snow. With the onset of spring, in April, shoots will begin to appear, for which they take care of, as well as the greenhouse landings.
The reproduction of lilies seeds is a great way to get more viable, resistant to plant diseases. Such instances benefit in resistance compared with lilies obtained from bulbs. Efforts spent on the cultivation of seed lilies will certainly pay off when the long-awaited beautiful buds will dissolve.
Before choosing a pot for planting and growing lily, you need to choose a flower grade. Some of them grow up to 1.5 m. You can choose a variety growing with a small bush. Depending on the size of the flower and you need to choose a pot.
For lily, the height of which about 1.5 m is selected by a pot of diameter of 18-20 cm and up to 40 cm high. In such a container you can land 2-3 bulbs. If one bulb is planted in a pot, then she for a long time Do not bloom. This is due to the free space. While this space will not be filled with children, the plant will not bloom.
Before landing the pot is disinfecting. It is worth pouring boiling water with the addition of manganese.
For good height And the development needs to correctly choose the ground for landing lily. Most simple choices It is a finished excavation mixture bought in the store. With independent soil manufacture, take the turf, coarse sand and humus in equal parts. Mineral fertilizers are mandatory at this mixture. For 1 kg of prepared land mixture to make 25 g of nitrogen-potash and magnesium-phosphoric fertilizers.
Landing Lukovitz
When buying bulbs, first of all, it is worth paying attention to their appearance. You need to choose firm bulbs, dense, without visible damage with alive roots. The roots can not be turned off. Do not choose small bulbs. Their diameter should be at least 4 cm.
If the bulb dried up, you should not throw it out.
For 2 hours you need to soak in a growth stimulator or simple clean water.
Bulbs before landing place in a special compartment for vegetables in the refrigerator. After 1-2 months, sprouts will be thrown.
At the bottom of the selected pot, the layer of approximately 5 cm, the drainage is stacked. For this used clamzit, sea or river pebbles, broken brick. Then the layer of the land mixture is poured, about 8-10 cm. The bulbs are neatly put in the proof sprouts up, without damaging, while root system. From above, pour about 20 cm of soil. After planting the ground to pour warm water to complete moisture.
From the soil to the Borchik, the pot must remain about 7-8 cm. It is necessary for further plugging the Earth after the appearance of germs.
It is planted at any time, regardless of the time of year. When falling into a pot in March, bloom will occur at the end of May. For blooming lily under new YearThe bulbs are planted in a pot at the end of September. After the appearance of the first sprouts to provide additional lighting.
After landing, the bulbs need to ensure sufficient moisture and heat.
Water as the upper soil layer drying, 1 time in 3-4 days.
It is also desirable to spray the processed sprouts in the growth stimulant every 3-4 days.
When the sprout grows about 8-10 cm, shove the Earth to the pot, leaving about 1 cm to the top edge. To ensure air flow to the bulb, regular soil explosion is required by about 4 cm.
Lilies love the sun. Therefore, after 1 month, the young plant can be taken out on fresh air, pre-hardening. Hardening occurs by a gradual increase in the time of stay outdoors, ranging from 20 minutes and bringing up to 10 hours in the summer months. For the night, the flower must be put into the room.
How to grow lilies from seeds?
Seeds can be bought in the store or assemble yourself. Collect seeds should only have a healthy plant. Seed box should become brown color And should not even reveal.
From one seed box you can get 150-200 seeds.
Is it possible to grow lilies at home? The cultivation of lilies from seeds at home is also considered the safest, as they are not subjected to diseases.
Ripe brownish seeds, oval, slightly elongated. In length about 5 mm, a thickness of about 1 mm.
The seeds of lily immediately after the collection are suitable for sowing. But it is best to put them in the refrigerator, observing the temperature of 2-4 degrees.
When is the best to plant lily? Plant seeds are best at the end of March. Seed seeds in February can be sown, but then additional lighting will need to be processed spons.
The plant is blooming only 1.5-2 years after the germination of Rostkov.
Before sowing seeds, you need to prepare a land mixture. You can use the finished excavation mixture purchased in the store. For independent manufacture The mixture is mixed by the turf, leafy land and coarse sand in the same proportions. In this mixture is added charcoal.
How to plant lilies seeds? Sowing seeds need to be produced in seedlings. Drainage is placed on the bottom, then the cooked land is falling asleep. Seeds are laid out on the surface at a distance of 1-1.5 cm, sprinkle with sand top. After that, you need to gently pour and cover with a film or glass. The ball is placed in the dark and warm place. Temperature for seed germination there must be 20-25 degrees. It is important not to dismissed the soil to avoid picking seeds.
What do lily seeds look like?
Below are seeds of lily, photo: 
Sprouts will appear in 20-25 days. After the appearance of sprouts, the seedl of the box is exposed. With an insufficient number of light, additional lighting must be ensured. Light day for sprouts should be at least 10-12 hours. If the ramper stands on the windowsill, then young sprouts need to protect from the sun.
From the planted seeds of lily by the fall, small bulbs will grow. When two leaves are on it, you should transplanted into small hills in permanent place.
It is possible to other boxes at least 4 cm from each other.
When diving in a new planting capacity, you need to ensure that the roots and sprouts are not broken.
Lily easily multiplies, easy to leaving and practically not exposed to diseases. It is tolerant to temperature drops. For lily, nutrient soil, moderate watering and sunlight. it decorative plant from chic flowers will be a decoration of any home.
Many types of lilies can be multiplied by seeds, as they retain their species features during seed reproduction. The reproduction of lilies seeds allows you to receive a large number of plants with less labor costs, and the seed lilies are usually growing with healthier and powerful, well-adapted to the local climate compared to a multiplicated vegetative way. Seed reproduction of lilies is also one of the ways to obtain new hybrid forms and varieties at selection work. A lot of seeds give Lily Wilmott, Tibetan, Henry, but some types of seed lilies do not form. Full seeds produce lily saffron, Daurgy, drooping, regal, Tibetan, Martag, monochromic, Choviza, Maximovich, etc. Some types of lilies (Canadian, snow-white, long-color, special, luxurious, ganson, etc.) require artificial pollination to get seed chassis .
Seeds of lilies can be saturated from the discontinued seed boxes after their full ripening, or germinate directly in the seed boxes during crude weather, so the boxes need to be collected when taking, without waiting for their disclosure. The germination of seeds of lilies is preserved 3-4 years (they need to be stored in the refrigerator at low positive temperatures), but sucking better fresh seeds (at the lily of golden - two-year old). According to the method of germination, the seeds of lilies are divided into groups with an overhead and underground germination method, and the speed of germination of seeds is distinguished by: quick and slow - it is necessary to take into account, defining the optimal period of seed of seeds of lilies.
A number of types of lilies (Daurry, Perry, Philadelphian) are able to germinate and above ground, and underground, and the group of Caucasian species of lilies is characterized by a transitional type of germination. With overhead germination, seeds seedlings leaves the surface of the soil and green; When underground germination of the seedlies remain in the soil, and after some time the first real sheet appears on the surface of the soil.
Some species of lilies may appear in the first year of vegetation, others for the second year. The Caucasian lilies of the Chovitiza and one-year of seeds are first formed by small bulbs, and only the next year shoots appear. For growing from seeds of commercial bulbs, some types of lilies may be required from 3 to 7 years (the accelerated development of livous lilies occurs after the turret of the sprouted seeds at a temperature of 5-8 degrees for 20-30 days - part of them can be blooming in the first year).
Seeds of the most frost-resistant species and hybrids of lilies are better to search in an open primer on the rods with rows of nesto (to avoid picking frequent shoots), with aisle of about 20 cm, at the end of October or in April. Seedlings of lilies remain on the ridges without transplanting for 1-2 years and fall at a permanent place.
If the seeds are small, they are better to sow them into drawers or pots with good drainage (clay shards covered with a layer of fine charcoal) and light soil, and seedlings then sip in open ground. The substrate for sowing seed lilies is made up of a mixture of turf, humid and sand (2: 1: 1). When sowing the seeds of American, east-Asian species of lilies and their hybrids in the earthy mixture, one part of the peat is added. The sinking seeds are covered with a substrate mixed with fine charcoal, layer 1 cm.
Seedlings of lilies can be painted and grown in greenhouses. During the summer, they are pumped by 3-4 times with a cow and full solution mineral fertilizer, combining feeding with watering. In August, the livic lilies are planted on the ridges at a depth of 3-8 cm at a distance of 10-15 cm depending on their size, when landing in the ridges, a mixture of deciduous and turf and a little sand is added. In the fall, the ridges are insulated with a humid layer about 5 cm, and they are covered with dry leaves. More thermal-loving types and varieties of lilies leave winter in greenhouses, covering them with shields, and from above - dry leaves and snow to save the temperature not higher than 0 degrees.
Lilies Perennial bulbous culture, which belongs to the Lily Family. More than 110 species are also known, from which at home are actively growing thirty species.
Lilia likes many flowers, so breeders have brought more than 10 thousand varieties for them for them and continue to create new ones.

Lilies landing and care in open soil
The appropriate month for landing lily is September. At this time, the bulbs are at rest. Choose the planting material healthy and dense. A landing place can be open or half-directed.
Before landing the bulbs in the ground, clean them from dry scales and shorterate the roots of up to 5 cm. Then omit into a weak solution of manganese - 0.2% for 20 minutes. This will help protect tubers from various diseases.
After preparation, make a linear fossa. The depth of the wells must be three times the size of the bulbs - approximately 15-20 cm. At the bottom of the holes, pour sand and lower the bulbs, placing the root to the sides. Sprinkle the earth from above and lose weight.
Tulips are also representatives of the Lily family. It is grown when landing and care in open ground without much trouble, subject to agrotechnology rules. You can find all necessary recommendations in this article.
Watering Lilies
After landing, Lily is needed to pour well. Moisture is needed by a plant all the growing season. But try not to dismissed the soil, because the roots are rained from dampness. In hot time, let the plant in moisture regularly. Suitable time For watering is morning or noon.
Ripened varieties leut water under root. After moisturizing, break the upper layer of the soil over the root system. During flowering, reduce watering up to once a week.
Soil for lily
The flower loves loose and nutritious soil. The soil acidity should be weak or neutral.
To make the acidic soil suitable, add lime to it. In heavy clay soil It is necessary to wash the humus and sand.
Fertilizers for lily
After planting the bulbs you need to feed. For this, the asola is suitable, peat or granular fertilizers. Put the hole and pour. Spend next feeding in early spring Before the germination of shoots, when it did not have any snow. Use any complex fertilizers by stirring in water 30 grams per square meter.
During the year you must feed the lily twice: in spring and autumn. Additional soil fertilizer is required when the plant starts to let flowers. During the formation of buds, adapt the nitroposk solution, and after the end of flowering, paint the superphosphate solution.
Flowering lilies
IN middle lane Lilies bloom in early July, and in southern regions a month earlier. Finish flowering in October. After planting the bulbs, the first colors will see in a year, but better to remove them to give the bulb to gain strength.
In the second year, large flowers will appear. Lilies grown from scales are beginning to bloom abundantly three years after landing in open ground.
How to collect lily seeds
The flower forms seed boxes, which are dropped after ripening and emit seeds. It is necessary to prevent this and disrupt the boxes before revelation.
Wait for it when they dry and run. Collected seeds, Place in the refrigerator. In this state, they can be stored for up to three years.
Transplant Lilies
Pereparing bulbs can be every four years. Do it at the end of August or in September after the appeal of inflorescences.
Gently cut the stem to the neck of the root. Distop the bulb, trying not to hook the roots. If it consists of several bulbs, disconnect them. Each place for the place you need.
Trimming Lilies
To get next year to get abundant blossom, It is necessary to trim the plant correctly. It is done after flowering when seed boxes are formed.
Immediately you can not cut stems or foliage. The leaves themselves will disappear, and the stalks continue to participate in photosynthesis, helping the bulbs to gain strength and useful substances. Remove only seed boxes. Skes are removed after final withering.
You also need to plunder early buds that are trying to form a few months after landing. This is done so that the bulbs do not spend the substance on their cultivation, and strengthened by next year.
Lilies in winter
Many varieties of frost-resistant and well carry the winter period of medium latitudes. But they still need to be stolen to provide more comfortable conditions wintering.
For this you will need dry foliage and any rag materials. Cover the bulbs by foliage layer at ten centimeters. Cover the cloth on top and give up the boards so as not to flew away from behind the wind.
Remove the shelter early in the spring when the snow is still lying on the ground. It will not hurt bulbs, but will speed up germination of shoots. If you remove the insulation late, then Lilia will give weak sprouts.
How to save lilies in winter
But if you have very cold winters or varieties that do not like the cold (candididum, the royal lily), then they need to dig and keep in place with fresh air, moderately wet, but also to moderate dry, the storage temperature should be cool, but not lower than zero.
Before storing, the substrate is removed and dried. Peat falls into the storage capacity, and on top of it the bulbs, then they are again covered with peat. So balls are filled with 2/3.
Even as an option, the bulbs are put in a package with a raw peat. The package is tied up so that the air remains, and put in a dark warm place. After a couple of months, kids should appear. After their formation, the bulbs are planted in peat pots, so that the top of the scales was above the peat.
Lilies Growing from seeds
Reproduction of lilies seeds is a long way, but with the help of it it will turn out to grow a large number of colors. Seedlings are collected in autumn after drying boxes. Place them to obtain seedlings in February or in March.
Sowing material is soaked for 15 hours in zinc sulfate solution. Then planted into containers with cooked ground. The composition of the soil mixture includes garden land, humus, sand and peat.
Seeds are planted at a depth of 0.5 cm. Then covered with a film and carry the box in a dark place with a temperature of +20 ° C to + 25 ° C. When the seeds are sprouting, the shelter is removed and put seedlings in the sun. During this period, you need to follow the moderate humidity of the soil.
After the appearance of the leaves, each seedling transplanted into separate pots. At the end of May or in early June, seedlings will be ready for a transplant in open ground.
Reproduction of lilies scales
This method is suitable for any varieties. From one maternal bulb will get to a hundred new lilies. Current and own tubers can be used as a donor. It is recommended to take scales for breeding at the end of August.
The dug bulb is rinsed well. Healthy scales are separated from it. Then they are soaked for thirty minutes in the solution of manganese-0.3 grams per liter of water. Dry and placed in a package with sawdust.
Store flakes in warm at room temperature. After a month and a half on the base of the scales will appear on bulbs. After that, place the package in the refrigerator for two months to pass stratification.
When the allotted time end, the bulbs are separated and transplanted into the nutritious and loose soil. After the appearance of shoots, the boxes exhibit in the sun. The graceful seedlings are transferred to an open ground in May or June.
Lilies reproduction Bulboches
The method of reproduction by bullbags is also quite good, but there is a minus, which is that not all kinds of lilies form them. Most often, the Bullbars appear in Asian hybrids.
At the end of flowering, the bulbo can be collected, since at this time they are easier separated. The material wrap up in the Lenka and put in the refrigerator. After 15 days, roots will begin to appear. As soon as it happens, immediately disembark the bulbs into the open soil. The depth of planting two or three centimeters.
Reproduction of lilies stallow
Reproduction with cuttings is used mainly for important varieties. It is best to take cuttings before the start of the formation of buds. Escape divide on parts noticeably 8 cm of height and just planted in the open soil.
Deepen the stem is needed to upper leavesPlace a tilt. Cuttings need to constantly water. Sheet stalk is a sheet with a part of the stem, which is cut before the start of flowering.
It is sled into the container with a light soil and covered with a film. Sometimes moderate watering is carried out. 20-30 later days will pass Rooting and plant can be planted on the street.
Diseases and pests of lilies
Gray Gnil (botritis ) - manifests itself in the form brown spotswho become grayish. At first, the disease covers stalks and leaves, and then flower. The reason for the occurrence of Botritis is the dampness of the soil and sharp drops Temperatures. To defeat this fungus, treat plants with fungicidal solution.
Fusariosis - Flexible, affecting the bulb. Externally recognize the presence of the disease is difficult.
