In the lily market, the prices of lilies with less than three heads and those with more than three heads are completely different.

If you must keep lilies indoors, it is recommended to move them out of the bedroom at night to avoid affecting sleep.

The fragrance released by lilies can increase the excitement of people’s central nervous system and keep people in a good mental state. Placing lilies in the right location can serve as an emotional support plant. Moreover, lilies can purify the air and effectively absorb and remove harmful substances such as home odors and formaldehyde. So lilies are still very good emotional support plants!

Soil

Freesias are relatively robust plants and are easy to grow as long as the bulbs are of good quality, making them ideal as emotional support plants. The soil requirements are not strict, it is best to use loose and fertile gardening soil (humus soil, black soil, peat soil, etc.). If you don’t have it, you can directly use garden soil from the green belt. It’s not a big problem. Cover the seed bulb lightly, water it thoroughly after planting it for the first time, and place it in a ventilated and cool place. It will sprout within 7 to 15 days. After germination, transplant it. If you go to a place with light, you can maintain it normally.

Water

This plant is very drought-tolerant and does not need to be watered every day. I usually water it once a week and wait until the soil is dry before watering. Long-term accumulation of water in the pot soil can easily lead to root rot. At the same time, you should also pay attention to fertilization. Do not apply concentrated fertilizer. Water it with water. The ratio of 1000:2 will be enough.
