How to Grow Lilium Asiflorum

5. Feeding:

   • At planting: Add slow-release bulb fertiliser

   • During growth: Feed every 2 weeks with a balanced liquid fertiliser

   • After blooming: Use potassium-rich fertiliser to strengthen bulbs

6. Mulching:
   Apply a 5 cm layer of mulch to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Aftercare & Dormancy

• Deadhead spent flowers to prevent seed formation and extend blooming.

• Let the foliage die back naturally after flowering, as it nourishes the bulb for next season.

• Reduce watering once the plant goes dormant.

• In regions with excessive winter rain, bulbs can be lifted and stored in a cool, dry place and replanted the following season.
