Care Butterfly mariposa lily
These plants have trunks or roots which store nourishment, originating bulbs or tubers. These plants grow covering the whole land at their disposal. The Butterfly mariposa lily is medium in size and 60 cm in height; in the spring it assumes a yellowpurpleredwhite colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year.

Temperatures Butterfly mariposa lilySole pieno
Plant which needs at least a few hours a day of sunlight. The Butterfly mariposa lily can bear minimum temperatures a few degrees below zero; in general during the Spring it would be grown outdoors without any problems, but if the harsh temperatures should go down it is advised to cover it with non-woven fabric.If necessary we can extract the bulbs from the ground, during the vegetative rest; after letting them dry we should place them in a cool, dry and dark place. During the most indicated season we can plant them again.

Irrigation Butterfly mariposa lilyTenere asciutto
Watering takes place only when the soil has been dry for days, usually every 1-2 weeks can be enough; if the climate is particularly hot we can slightly intensify the irrigations, using 1-2 glasses of water . These plants don't need too much water; staying in a soil which is too damp, can easily cause the development of rotten in the bulbs.

Adversity Butterfly mariposa lily
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Substrate Butterfly mariposa lily
Locate in a deep and dissolved soil, with an accentuated drainage.
