Lilies are elegant and fragrant flowering plants that bring beauty to any garden. To ensure your lilies thrive, providing them with nutrient-rich soil is essential. One natural and sustainable way to do this is by using eggshells as a fertilizer. Eggshells are rich in calcium and other minerals that help improve soil structure and promote healthier plant growth. In this article, we’ll explore how to prepare and use eggshells effectively to support the growth of lily plants.
Why Eggshells Are Good for Lily Plants
Eggshells contain essential nutrients such as:
Calcium Carbonate – strengthens cell walls and aids root development.
Magnesium – vital for photosynthesis.
Phosphorus – supports blooming and flower formation.
Potassium – enhances overall plant health.
These nutrients are especially beneficial for lilies, which require well-balanced soil to produce vibrant blooms and sturdy stems.

Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients:
10–12 clean, dry eggshells (from any type of egg)
