What pH Do Lilies Like

Burpee Recommends: Lilies prefer a soil pH of 6.5 – 7.0, raise your pH if it is not lower than 6.0.

Are lilies an acid loving plant?

They like a very acidic soil. … Essential nutrients are most available to lily (lilium) plants at 6.0 to 6.5 soil pH, and Calla lily plants at 5.5 to 6.0. Similarly, most horticultural plants grow best in soils with a pH between 6 (slightly acid) and 7.5 (slightly alkaline).

How do I make my lilies bloom more?

Lilies do not bloom more than once per season, but you can remove the faded flowers so that the plants don’t waste energy making seeds. After the lily blooms, you can also remove just the stem itself. However, do NOT remove leaves until they have died down and turned brown in fall.
