Lilac planting methods and cultivation techniques

1. Breeding conditions

Lilacs like a warm environment with plenty of sunlight, and also like loose, fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. As long as these conditions are met, lilacs can be planted.

2. Pay attention to the temperature

Lilac is native to tropical regions and prefers tropical rainforest climates. If planted in China, attention must be paid to temperature control, especially when planting lilac in pots. It should be placed in an environment with an ambient temperature of about 20 degrees. The minimum temperature in winter cannot be lower than three degrees, otherwise it will die due to low temperature.

3. Fertilizer and water management

Lilac fertilizer and water management is also very important. This plant has strong vitality and excellent adaptability to the environment. It only needs to be watered moderately during droughts, and it does not need to be watered frequently at other times. During the growth period, lilac does not require much fertilizer. You can fertilize it once in spring and summer each year. Before it enters the flowering period, do not over-fertilize it, otherwise it will affect its flowering period.

4. Pruning

It is also important to prune lilacs in time when growing them. Before the lilacs sprout in March each year, they should be shaped and pruned. All the dense and thin branches can be cut off to increase the light and air permeability of the entire crown. This can not only reduce its consumption of nutrients, but also promote the growth of new branches, allowing it to bloom more and more beautiful flowers in the future.

5. Pests and diseases

When growing lilacs, you should also pay attention to diseases and pests. If you find pests such as aphids or caterpillars on the lilac flowers, you can spray chlorpyrifos emulsion or phosmet emulsion in time to quickly control the disease.
