Lilium parvum, commonly known as the Sierra Tiger Lily, is a species of lily native to the mountainous regions of California and Nevada. It is a bulbous geophyte that thrives in temperate climates. The plant produces striking orange to red flowers with dark spots, typically blooming in the summer. It undergoes a dormancy period during the winter months.
Lilium parvum requires bright, indirect light and moderate temperatures. It thrives in environments with moderate humidity. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.
土壤
Lilium parvum prefers well-draining loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. The soil should be kept evenly moist but not waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent bulb rot.
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. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can damage the plant.
换盆
Repot Lilium parvum every 2-3 years or when the bulbs outgrow their container. Repot during the dormancy period in late winter or early spring. Use fresh, well-draining soil and a slightly larger pot.
传播
Propagate Lilium parvum by dividing the bulbs during the dormancy period. Carefully separate the bulbs and replant them in fresh soil. Ensure each bulb has enough space to grow.
修剪
Prune Lilium parvum after the flowering period. Remove spent flowers and any dead or yellowing leaves. This helps the plant conserve energy and encourages healthy growth.
毒性
Lilium parvum is toxic to pets, particularly cats. All parts of the plant, including the flowers, leaves, and bulbs, contain toxic compounds that can cause kidney failure in cats if ingested. Keep the plant out of reach of pets.
