How To Care Asiatic Lily

Location
Asiatic lilies thrive in well-drained soil, in full sun and partial shade. They prefer slightly more acidic than neutral soil pH (around 6.0 to 7.0). They should be planted in a location where they will receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. It is also important to plant it away from strong winds because its long stems can be easily damaged. In addition, Asiatic lilies should be planted in a place protected from frost, as they cannot withstand falling.

Soil
Asiatic lilies prefer well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soils (pH 6.0 to 7.0). They do not tolerate water or heavy clay because these can cause slight rot. Sandy or loamy soils are ideal for Asiatic lilies because they provide good drainage and allow the eyes to develop well. If your soil is heavy or clayey, you can increase drainage by adding organic matter such as compost or peat moss to the soil before planting.

Hydration
Asiatic lilies need proper watering, especially during the growing season. Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on weather and soil. The soil should be kept even but not waterlogged as this could cause the bulbs to rot. It is important to water the roots of the plant and not to wet the leaves, as this can cause fungal diseases. In hot, dry weather, Asiatic lilies need to be watered more frequently to prevent the soil from drying out completely.
