A METHOD FOR CULTIVATING LILIES

摘要

The method of growing an easter lily or other species of the genus lilium has a bulb scale from a pathogen-free lily plant propagated in a growing medium. This forms a bulblet which is grown in plant form rather than bulb form. The bulblet is planted and the young plant is grown under conditions of short days to prevent flowering and encourage foilage and root formation. After the initial short-day growing period of approximately thirty-four weeks, a three week period of long-day conditions initiates flowering. A three month period of natural lighting effects the final growth and finishing of the desired lily plant.
