How to grow water lilies?

When planting, choose a bottomless flower pot with a height of 50cm and a diameter as large as possible. Place evenly mixed nutrient soil in the pot, and control the filling depth to 30-40cm to facilitate water storage.

Bury the well-growing propagules in the center of the flower pot to a depth where the top buds are slightly exposed from the soil. After planting, add water but do not fill it up. It is best to use 2-3cm above the soil layer to facilitate warming and ensure the survival rate.

Gradually increase the water level as the plant grows. The advantage of this method is that it is easy to manage, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult to survive the winter in the Beijing-Tianjin area and needs to be moved to a greenhouse or sunk into a pool. ?

Extended information:

Whether cold-resistant water lilies can grow normally, water level control is one of the important factors. Cold-resistant water lilies have different water level requirements with different growth periods, so attention should be paid to water level control.

Since water temperature has a direct impact on the growth and flowering of water lilies, in the early stages of growth, due to the short petioles, the water level should be as shallow as possible to prevent the leaves from being exposed to the air, so as to increase the water temperature as quickly as possible, promote root growth, and improve survival. rate;

As the leaves grow, gradually increase the water level. When the growth period is reached, the water level reaches the maximum value. This will make the petioles grow and the leaves enlarge, which is helpful for nutrient storage; in autumn, the water level will be lowered. , increase the water temperature so that the leaves receive sufficient light and enhance photosynthesis to promote the growth of water lily rhizomes and lateral buds.
