Cultivation:

Cape Lily and other lilies of the Crinum genus can be grown either from seed or bulbs. If growing from bulb then they should be planted at a depth of 20 cm at the end of spring. If you plant from seed then you should use fresh seed as soon as it is ripe and plant at a depth of about 6mm. The plants should be spaced between 45 cm (small species) to 80 cm (large species) and grown in a sunny area of the garden. They like to grow in an humus rich moist soil that is well drained. if you first plan to grow cape (Crinum) lilies indoors first then again fresh seed should be used, it takes from one to three weeks to germinate lilies and it should ideally be done at a temperature of 15 to 20 degrees centigrade.

vegetative plant parts. The process for plant propagation by

potential application of seeds are termed as sexual propagation

of the plants whereas the utilization of vegetative plant parts like

root, stem, leaf or their modified forms like bulb, tuber, rhizome,

corm etc. are categorized under the vegetative propagation. Both

above modes of plant propagation
