Asiatic Lilies

Posted on February 2, 2010.
Asiatic LiliesAsiatic lilies ...?

My Lily has been stripped of leaves and flowers by insects such as bugs. Suggestions?

Like cures or prevention / remedies?

This could be a number of things that could have eaten, but the best solution for bugs that feed on leaves is horticultural oils / soaps. Completely organic, no harm to land, and they coat the leaves of your plants (and bugs!) While the insects do not taste, or they drowned in contact.

Or, if you do not want to go buy, you can mix your own. Take your liquid hand soap or regular soap dish washer, and add water. The normal ratio is 1 part soap to 10 parts water. Then just put in a spray bottle and spray.

Good luck!

Well, the slugs will devastate young lily (lily lost six beautiful to me in their crisp spring), but once they are at the flowering stage you should be unlucky enough.

It seems that the work of this beggar little trouble, mountain lily. Bright red, about 5 mm long? (Like this ... ... http://www.dgsgardening.btinternet.co.uk

The best thing is to keep an eye on the adult beetles - the right until spring Lily dies back - and squash in sight. Put something underneath to catch up on, they have the technical file to the plant to hide in the ground if disturbed.
It is particularly important for next year, check under the leaves of lily beetle eggs (orange under standing in lines so they look like rows of tiny pins.) Simply wipe them with a little fabric / cloth.
So if you see damaged leaves with a sticky black mess Gammy on them, the bands of the plant and destroy it: inside the gamminess is a lily beetle larvae, and they are the destroyers of all parts of the lily.

You have my sympathy, I hate killing things, but (much battered read later) have lost all sense of mercy in that lily beetles are concerned. Grrr ....

Sounds like the lily beetle, kill all the adults and look for eggs and crush them too.
