Lilium superbum, commonly known as the Turk's cap lily, is a striking perennial plant native to the eastern United States. It is known for its tall stature and vibrant, orange-red flowers with recurved petals. This plant typically goes dormant in the winter months.
Lilium superbum thrives in bright, direct sunlight and requires moderate temperatures. It prefers evenly moist soil and benefits from high humidity. Regular watering and maintaining a consistent environment will help the plant flourish.
土壌
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal. Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter to support its nutrient needs.
肥料
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks, to support its vigorous growth and flowering.
植え替え
Repot Lilium superbum every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its container. Repot in the early spring before new growth begins. Use fresh, well-draining soil and ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
伝搬
Propagate Lilium superbum by dividing the bulbs in the fall or early spring. Carefully separate the bulbs and replant them at the same depth they were growing. Ensure the soil is well-prepared and rich in organic matter.
剪定
Prune the plant after the flowering season by cutting back the spent flower stalks. This helps redirect energy to the bulbs for the next growing season. Remove any dead or damaged foliage to maintain plant health.
毒性
Lilium superbum is toxic to pets, particularly cats. Ingestion can cause severe kidney damage. All parts of the plant are considered toxic, so it is important to keep it out of reach of pets and children.
追加
Lilium superbum is a beautiful addition to any garden, attracting pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds. It is also deer-resistant, making it a great choice for gardens in areas with high deer populations.
