The African lily, also known as the African lily, is very floriferous in this country, despite its southern origin, if it is properly cared for. The plant usually produces a particularly large number of flower stalks in a sunny location.
The main season of the round spherical flowers
The main flowering period for the agapanthus ranges from July to September, depending on the location. During this time, you should consider the following care factors:
- adequate watering
- no waterlogging
- removing faded flower stalks
If you do not need seeds for propagation, you should cut off wilted flower stalks so that the plant does not have to waste growth energy on ripening the seeds.
Encourage lazy specimens
Do not be surprised if African lilies grown from seed take a few years to flower for the first time. Older plants sometimes do not flower if they have been overwintered in warm temperatures above 7 degrees Celsius. Sometimes fertilizing with a foliar or complete fertilizer also helps.
tips and tricks
If you want to bring individual flowers into your house as vase decorations, you should cut them off when the first three or four individual flowers have opened. With the stems in the water, the remaining individual flowers will also bloom and you will get the maximum beauty out of the African lily as a cut flower.
