Everyone prefers lotus flowers that are muddy but not sticky. It is understood that water lily is also a kind of green material, with beautiful flowers and leaves, which can be used to beautify fountains, courtyards and other places, and I believe it will have a good effect. Let's learn about water lilies with Bian Xiao!

First, the basic information of water lily

Water lily is a precious flower among aquatic flowers, and its appearance is similar to that of lotus. The difference is that the lotus leaves and flowers stand on the water, while the water lily leaves and flowers float on the water. Water lilies are known as "sleeping beauty in flowers" because of their comfortable daytime and curly night, and they are more and more used in the process of aquatic plant landscaping. Water lilies, also known as "water lilies", are perennial aquatic plants with slender and beautiful petioles and strong cold resistance. With a little protection in the northeast, they can survive the winter safely. The underground rhizome of water lily grows horizontally or vertically in the form of tuber, which is short and thick. Leaves are clustered, floating on the water, thick and shiny, round or oval, dark green on the front and deep purple or purple on the back. Colors vary greatly due to different varieties, and they are bright and beautiful.

Second, the breeding method of water lily

1. Choose a good cultivation soil: water lilies like fertile cohesive soil rich in humus. Therefore, it is better to choose silt or ponds accumulated for a long time in Hanoi for breeding.

2. Selection of stems: Water lilies are cultivated by ramets. The selection of seed stem is also the key to the success or failure of cultivation. The underground rhizomes planted should be vigorous, virus-free, damage-free and rot-free, and cut into 6 ~ 10 cm long segments.

3. Appropriate shallow planting: If the underground stems of water lily seeds are too deep into the soil, the soil temperature is low and the oxygen is poor, which is not conducive to early growth and rapid growth. Generally, the cultivation depth is moderate, so that the new buds on the underground stems are level with the soil surface.

4. Adequate illumination: Water lilies like a sunny, warm and humid climate with good ventilation. Potted mini water lilies must be placed in a well-lit place to get enough light.

5. Water conditions: Water lilies like to grow in relatively calm water without big waves or rapids, so they often do not grow well in artificial fountains with high-pressure water columns or pools with rapids and waterfalls. The suitable water depth for planting miniature water lilies varies with varieties.
