Lilium canadense aka Canada Lily
Taxonomy
Common names
Canada Lily, Turk's Cap Lily, Meadow LilyHow to care for Canada Lily
Difficulty
With its straightforward care requirements, Canada Lily is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.
Water
Canada Lily should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Soil
Canada Lily loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.
Lighting
To ensure optimal growth, the Canada Lily prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.
Toxicity
No verified data on the toxicity of this plant exists within Ploi's records. Should you, someone in your family, or your pet ingest plant material with an unknown toxicity level, it is recommended to seek medical advice.
Humidity
The Canada Lily does not demand additional humidity levels. Water is mostly absorbed by the roots of plants, rather than their leaves, and the best way to provide humidity to your plants is through watering the soil.
Fertilizer
The Canada Lily is known for its slow growth and doesn't require fertilizing beyond its potting soil. Replacing the soil in its pot once a year should offer it sufficient nutrition. It's essential to remember that plants get their energy from the sun, not from fertilizers.
Growth-pattern
Canada Lily grows vertically and new growth emerges from the top of the plant.
Region of origin
Canada Lily’s native range is the Northern Hemisphere.
