The more magnificent and large-scale the flower, the brighter and more beautiful the flowerbed looks, especially if not just one representative, but the whole flowerbed is terry. Color, size and shape fade into the background when the “full” buds appear in front of you, which is what the terry plants are famous for. It is the internal density with an abundance of petals that can make a magnificent flower from an ordinary, not too attractive inflorescence, which significantly increases its significance and scope of use. We offer an original selection of plants with varieties that are so beautiful in their range of terry that they definitely deserve special attention.
Terry tulips
The classic version of tulips is a bud consisting of 5-6 petals, which initially have a closed shape, but when the day comes and the sun warms up, it opens successfully and closes at night. The advantage of double tulip varieties is the abundance of petals. Many people, looking at double tulips, think that this is a rose, although it is just a double tulip, but very beautiful. In addition to the abundance of petals, it should be noted that terryness can manifest itself more literally; on each petal along its entire perimeter there are small hairs that add splendor to the bud. They can be the same color as the petals, slightly shading the main tone of the flower, or white, to significantly emphasize the unusualness of the varieties. The popularity of just such tulips for cutting is enormous, because presenting a bouquet of double tulips is not only to please, but also to surprise.
Varieties of double tulips: Toronto Double, Brest, Drumline, Mascotte, Matchpoint, Queensland, Brooklyn, La Belle Epoque, Vogue, Uncle Tom, Mondial, Dreamtouch, Golden Nizza, Purple Tower, Rococo Double.
Home care
Caring for oriental lilies at home is quite simple. You just need to comply with certain requirements, and then the flowering will delight you with its splendor and brightness.
Temperature
In winter, it is advisable to keep the oriental lily at a temperature of +10 to +15 degrees. In summer, this indicator should be from +18 to +25 degrees. In the summer, it is advisable to expose flower pots to the air. If this is not possible, then you should open the windows more often, but so that the lily is not located in a direct draft.
Watering
The house oriental lily can die quite quickly if it is watered too much and too often.
This crop does not tolerate excess moisture. The roots begin to rot and turn black. For good plant development, the soil needs to be slightly moistened as it dries. Also, the planting container must have drainage holes.
To maintain the required level of humidity, you need to periodically spray the leaves with a spray bottle. This is especially true during the hot season. In winter, watering once a week will be enough.
Location and lighting
Oriental lilies grow well in sun or light shade. They can easily tolerate large amounts of sunlight throughout the day.
It is especially important that the plant receives sunlight in the morning and evening hours. Therefore, it is best to place the lily on southern windowsills.
Flowering and dormant period
To ensure proper care, you need to know how to care for a lily at different stages of life.
To ensure abundant flowering, you should regularly loosen the upper part of the substrate so that the root system does not experience oxygen starvation. Flowering plants are watered as the soil dries. The leaves are also additionally sprayed (about once a week).
If the plant has formed many heavy buds, then it should be tied to a support so that the stem does not break.
During the ripening of the buds, the penultimate feeding is carried out. During the flowering period, it is advisable to flavor the substrate with wood ash. This will make the flower more comfortable, which will make it more luxuriant.
After flowering and falling leaves, a dormant period begins. At this time, the lily is watered once a week with the addition of mineral and organic fertilizers. There is no need to spray the stem anymore, since during the dormant period all the nutrients are transferred to the bulb, and the formation of buds for reproduction begins.
When the stem is completely dry, stop watering. The dried parts are carefully cut off to give the flower a better rest. If the bulb remains in the pot under the soil, then fertilizing and ash should be regularly added to the soil. You will also need to water occasionally (once every 3-4 weeks). Store the plant in a cool place.
Pot and soil
Almost any type of container is suitable for growing lilies at home: a regular flower pot, a plastic box, a large ceramic flowerpot, etc. The size of the container should be chosen based on how many bulbs it will contain.
The pot must be deep and spacious enough to allow the plant to develop properly.
The higher the grade, the deeper and wider the container should be. It should also be taken into account that containers that are too light are not suitable for this crop. Such a pot may fall under the weight of the plant stem. If there is no other choice, then the bottom must be made heavier. To do this, you can use heavy drainage, for example, pebbles.
In order for a lily to bloom normally, it requires a large amount of nutrients. In addition, the substrate must be light. You can buy it in special stores or make it yourself. To prepare the substrate, mix turf soil and humus or compost in equal proportions. Mineral complex fertilizers are added to the resulting mixture.
Fertilizers and fertilizing
After the flowering period ends, the lily still needs care. Feeding will help the bulb make a larger supply of nutrients, making the plant stronger next season. Potassium-phosphorus fertilizers are used for fertilizing. They help protect the bulbs from fungus, diseases and pests.
Landing
Planting process:
- A drainage layer of pebbles, crushed stone, expanded clay or broken brick is placed in the pot.
- Fertile soil is poured. The layer should be approximately 10 cm.
- The bulbs are laid on it with their tops up, so that they do not touch each other.
- Lightly press the bulbs to the ground.
- Cover with a 20 cm layer of substrate.
- There should be 7-10 cm left to the edge of the pot, since as the plant grows it will be necessary to add soil - the bulbs will begin to form additional surface roots.
- Water with warm water. The substrate should get wet evenly throughout the entire volume.

How to propagate?
The oriental lily reproduces with the help of small bulbs that extend from the mother. They are called children. They are separated and transplanted into separate pots at the end of spring.
Planting children:
- A drainage layer is made in the pot and a layer of soil is filled.
- The bulb is placed there and sprinkled with a layer of substrate 5 cm thick.
- The plant is lightly watered.
All manipulations must be performed very carefully so as not to damage the small bulbs. Experts recommend planting several plants in one pot at once to ensure longer and more abundant flowering.
Diseases and pests
At home, lilies can be damaged by viral diseases and insect pests. Fungal infections appear when there is insufficient lighting or excessive watering.
If the plant is sick with gray rot, you need to carefully cut off the affected areas. After this, treatment is carried out from a spray bottle with a solution of copper sulfate.
Lily bulbs can be damaged by soft rot. The occurrence of this disease is indicated by brown wet spots on the surface. At the same time, the bulbs become moldy and soften. If they are partially damaged, you can treat them with crushed coal. After this, the bulbs are placed in a solution of the Rogor preparation for 1 hour and dried. In case of severe damage, the planting material is thrown away.
If a lily is affected by a mosaic, the flower cannot be restored.
If the temperature is too high, thrips and spider mites may attack the plant. In this case, the lily must be sprayed with insecticides.

Location:
Clematis prefer a light or semi-shaded (for large-flowered varieties) location. They really don't like overheating of the soil. Therefore, when planting in a sunny place, it is recommended to shade the soil in the zone of clematis roots with annuals or perennials, using a root delimiter 30–40 cm deep.
Popular articles Description, planting and care of rock alyssumThe soil should be fertile sandy loam or loamy moist, but not waterlogged. Areas with groundwater closer than 1.5 m are not suitable for planting clematis.
Care:
In the spring, it is necessary to trim the clematis stems almost to ground level, leaving the first pair of strong buds and feed them with complete mineral fertilizer.
In the summer, in June, a second feeding is given with mineral or organic fertilizer. The growing stems are guided along a support or tied up.
During dry weather, be sure to water once every five days, 1-2 buckets of water per bush.
If desired, clematis is also fed with mineral fertilizer in July.
In autumn, the ground around the clematis must be mulched with humus in a layer of 5–7 cm, the stems removed from the supports and laid on mulch.
With this method of preparing clematis for winter, the clematis varieties indicated in the article are winter-hardy without additional shelter.
