Lilium or maldano

The Lilium Maldano commands attention with its deep magenta blooms and striking dark speckles. This Oriental lily variety has become increasingly popular in Dubai's floral market for its intense coloration and reliable performance in professional floral work.

Visual Impact and Uses

Maldano's large, outward-facing flowers create immediate visual impact in arrangements. The rich pink petals feature dramatic burgundy freckles that become more pronounced as the bloom matures. This variety works exceptionally well in modern floral designs, luxury event decor, and high-end hotel arrangements where bold color statements are desired.

Cultivation Requirements

Growers value Maldano for its relatively strong stems and consistent flower production. The plants perform best in slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0-6.5) with good organic content. In Dubai's climate, partial shade during peak afternoon hours helps prevent color fading. Regular feeding with balanced fertilizer supports the development of its signature intense pigmentation.

Vase Life Optimization

Wholesale purchasers should note that Maldano lilies benefit from hydration with warm (about 38°C) water immediately after processing. Removing pollen-bearing anthers upon opening helps prevent staining and may extend display life. These lilies typically show excellent longevity, often remaining fresh for 8-12 days in floral arrangements under proper conditions.
