How to grow:
 
The cultivation of Lilies is quite easy. As long as some basic requirements are maintained such as a greenhouse set-up, water, soil and light conditions, temperatures and shade, a perfect lily can be grown.
 
Soil requirements:
-  Use well drained, pH 6.5 to 7, Fluoride-free, sterilized, planting medium (Coconut- fiber, Canadian-peat or soil-mix) with enough air/oxygen.
-  EC of 0.5 or lower.
-  Keep planting medium moist, but not wet. Avoid top layer to be drying out.
-  Fertilizer: 14-14-14 slow release (plus additional iron if needed). Miracle Grow or
Osmocote are good solutions. 
-  Planting dept should be at least 4 to 5 inches deep and/or 3 inches of soil on top of
the bulb for the future stem roots.
-  Preventative fungicide drench with Alliete is recommended.
