Care Instructions
The Pyrenean Lily thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers bright, indirect light. It requires evenly moist soil and benefits from a humid environment. Regular watering is essential, but avoid waterlogging. This plant can be grown both indoors and outdoors, making it versatile for various settings.Soil
Lilium pyrenaicum prefers well-draining loam soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A soil mix that includes organic matter will support its nutrient needs. Ensure the soil pH is slightly acidic to neutral for optimal growth.Fertilizer
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. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can harm the plant.Repotting
Repot the Pyrenean Lily every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its container. Repotting is best done in early spring before the growing season begins. Use fresh, well-draining soil and a slightly larger pot to accommodate growth.Propagation
Propagate Lilium pyrenaicum through bulb division. This is best done during the dormancy period in late winter or early spring. Carefully separate the bulbs and plant them in well-draining soil, ensuring they are not buried too deeply.Pruning
Pruning is not typically required for the Pyrenean Lily. However, you can remove spent flowers and dead foliage to maintain the plant's appearance and health.Toxicity
Lilium pyrenaicum is toxic to pets, particularly cats. All parts of the plant, including the flowers, leaves, and bulbs, contain toxic compounds that can cause severe reactions if ingested. Keep this plant out of reach of pets and children.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
