The planting depth should not be too deep. It is better to just bury the top of the bulb into the soil. The soil quality requires well-drained sandy soil or loose culture soil, slightly acidic soil. Apply an appropriate amount of base fertilizer during planting and irrigate with water after planting; during the vegetative growth period, water should be frequently irrigated to keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged to prevent Bulb rot. An appropriate amount of water must be supplied from 20 days before flowering to the flowering stage to achieve uniform flowering and easy maintenance of the flowers.
Growth habits:
1. Grows in dark and humid places. Its habitat is red soil. Therefore, it has strong cold tolerance and likes shade. The high temperature limit it can tolerate is the daily average temperature of 24°C. ; It likes moisture, but also tolerates drought. It is accustomed to acidic soil, and loose and fertile humus soil is best. It has the habit of dormancy in summer.
2. There are bulbs in spring, leaves growing in summer, flowers standing up in autumn, leaves slowly receding in winter, and so on. The flowers and leaves will never meet, and there is also a sense of tragic love that they will never be able to meet.
3. The bulb contains the alkaloid ricklin, which can cause vomiting, spasm and other symptoms, and has a significant impact on the central nervous system. It can be used for sedation, inhibiting drug metabolism and anti-cancer effects.
4. Because Lycoris often blooms near cemeteries, the color is bright red like blood, and the flowering period is close to the autumnal equinox (Japanese festival festival). In addition, Lycoris leaves fall and the flowers bloom, and they will never see each other again. Therefore, in Japanese legends, this flower has an ominous color of death and separation. It is often used in funerals and is also called the flower of death. However, there is no such saying in China. Lycoris has become a common festive flower because of its bright colors.
5. This flower is mostly used for planting in villa gardens. Usually hundreds or thousands of them are planted together. They will bloom in large numbers in autumn, and the landscape effect is excellent. In addition, because the rhizome of Lycoris is very similar to that of narcissus, some unscrupulous flower vendors will use it to sell it as narcissus, so be careful when buying flowers.
