Why does your Lilium OT Trudy have drooping leaves? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Lilium OT 'Trudy' prefers well-drained soil; excessive moisture causes the bulbs to rot, leading to a loss of turgor pressure in the leaves. As the root system decays, it can no longer support the heavy foliage characteristic of Oriental hybrids.
This fungal pathogen thrives in high humidity and causes leaves to wilt, droop, and eventually develop brown necrotic spots. It often attacks the foliage of large-flowered Oriental lilies during cool, damp periods.
Oriental lilies have large leaf surface areas that lose moisture rapidly through transpiration. If the soil dries out completely, the plant will droop significantly to conserve water.
A lack of nitrogen prevents the production of chlorophyll and structural cell components, causing older leaves to turn pale yellow and lose their ability to stand upright.
