Lilium brownii var. viridulum Baker has several common diseases, including lily Mosaic disease, spot disease, bulb rot, leaf blight, etc., as well as aphids, ground tigers, ants, mole crickets eating seedlings (stems), nematodes, earthworms and other pests that kill underground bulbs and bulb plates. 

How to Propagate Lilium brownii var. viridulum Baker

The propagation methods of Lilium brownii var. viridulum Baker mainly include sowing, bulblet separation, scale cuttage and bud division.

Sowing propagation involves harvesting seeds in the fall and replanting them in the spring of the following year. The cycle that breeds is longer, general family breeds not to use this kind of method quite.

Divide small bulb method is mainly in autumn from the old bulb of lilies on the separation of a few small bulbs, the early year of the second year and then on the pot planting, more suitable for family propagating Lilium brownii var. viridulum Baker.

Scaly cuttings are made by breaking off the scales from the old bulbs of lilies. This method of reproduction can produce large numbers of Lilium brownii var. viridulum Baker. After a period of cultivation, the scales grow into small bulbs, which are ready to be potted in the spring.

The sprouting method is only suitable for a few species. The method is to take down the bead buds formed in the axils of the stems and leaves of the Lilium brownii var. viridulum Baker. When the bulbs are large enough to be planted, they usually take 2 to 4 years to flower.
