Easter Lily Growth Planner
This tool helps you plan your Easter Lily crop through three key phases:
- Planting to Emergence
- Emergence to Buds Visible
- Buds Visible to Flowering
Use the dropdown menus and additional fields below to specify your conditions. You can:
- Select the calculation mode (forward from planting or backward from target bloom).
- Choose a temperature regime (or use custom values) that affects the leaf unfolding rate and days from buds visible to flowering.
- Enter extra details such as bulb size and vernalization method.
- Add custom milestones for Phase 2 (Emergence to Buds Visible) and multiple real‑time observations (date and leaf count) to adjust the timeline.
Step 1: Setup Your Planner
Select whether you want to plan forward or work backward from a target bloom date.
Choose the date you plant (or have planted) the bulbs.
Select the graded bulb size.
Select the cooling/forcing method used.
(Typically between 70–90 leaves)
Add intermediate milestones (e.g. "Mid-Growth" at 40 leaves)
Add one or more observations (date and leaf count) to adjust the timeline if your crop is ahead or behind schedule.
This is an ongoing passion project and gets updated when I have time. Your support is of great value and appreciation.
I often struggle to find this information and find myself having to visit dozens of websites over-and-over again, so consolidating information into one place is my solution to simplify life.
