This article provides detailed experience on when to plant lilies of the valley, as well as the planting time and techniques for growing flowers. The following is an introduction for you.
Lilies of the valley may not be known to many people by name. They are mostly used as bouquets and are considered tall plants in the floral industry, with a relatively high price. Similar to amaryllis, lilies of the valley are divided into domestic and imported varieties. Most of the imported lilies of the valley come from the Netherlands, while the majority of the domestic ones come from Suqian, which is also a flower-producing region in China.
There is a significant difference between domestic and imported lilies of the valley, with the price almost ten times higher. The size of the bulbs also differs明显ly. When purchasing imported lilies of the valley, they usually come with potting soil to ensure survival rates and prevent damage to the bulbs, hence the practice of shipping them with soil and pot.
Domestic lilies of the valley are usually shipped bare-rooted. Their roots are dense and numerous, similar to chives, and the bulbs are relatively small. After purchasing, you need to trim the roots and plant them yourself. Imported lilies of the valley generally do not require self-planting as their roots fill the pot. You can simply place them in a new pot using the "false planting" method, and the lilies will continue to root and grow.
Buying flowers mainly depends on personal needs. Everyone has different perceptions and requirements for plants. Secondly, personal financial conditions should be considered. It is fine to enjoy growing flowers, but do not spend too much money on plants. Ensuring a livelihood should be the top priority, and growing flowers or green plants is only a part of life.

Friends with ample financial conditions can choose imported lilies of the valley. When purchasing online, it is important to choose a larger or more reliable store to avoid being deceived. It is essential to have the plants shipped with pot and soil, as a lily of the valley can be quite expensive at a price of a hundred or eighty dollars, making it safer and more secure with the pot.
Friends with less financial flexibility can choose domestic lilies of the valley, which can be purchased for about ten yuan, relatively cheaper. The bulbs bought need to be planted yourself. Planting lilies of the valley is not as simple as using any soil. Given the high price of the plant itself, it is necessary to use high-quality peat, not garden soil or humus.
After the beginning of autumn, around the Mid-Autumn Festival every year is the best period for planting lilies of the valley. When the temperature drops to between 25 and 28 degrees, it is not too high or too low, and the plants can be planted both indoors and outdoors.
