Plant and maintain tree lilies - tips and tricks
With a height of over two meters and up to 30 centimeters large flowers, the tree lily is truly impressive and an eye-catcher in any garden. Since it is also easy to clean and not demanding, it is also suitable for garden beginners.
The ideal location for tree lilies
The tree lily thrives in both the sun and partial shade. She feels most comfortable when the head gets a lot of sun while the roots are shaded. So the plant does not dry out and at the same time can unfold its flowers in the sun. You can also cultivate the tree lily very well in the bucket on the terrace or on the balcony.
Water tree lilies properly and fertilize
You do not have to water your tree lily very much, it is quite frugal. Either early in the morning or in the late afternoon, prevent pest infestation. During growth and flowering, the tree lily has a relatively high nutrient requirement, so it should be fertilized regularly.
How do I overwinter the tree lily?
The tree lily is considered to be hardy, but can easily use a light protection against frost. Cover the onion with some leaves, twigs or bark so they do not freeze. Even a hibernation in a dry dark and cool basement room is possible. This is especially recommended if you want to transplant your tree lily next year.
Diseases and pests in the tree lily
Unfortunately, tree lilies are a delicacy for voles and lilies. You should absolutely collect the small red beetles or fight with predators (lacewing larvae, parasitic wasps) before they harm your plants too much. Planting in a wire basket, on the other hand, keeps vole mice away.
