How to maintain the newly cut sleeping lotus? I bought it yesterday, but not today.

According to the height of the vase, cut the stem as short as possible.

Love the water, a water lily, can pour water into the small holes of flower stems to help them absorb water. The water in the vase needs to be as much as possible, which can reach about 90% of the height of the vase. The poles of water lilies are longer, so it is better to keep them in a higher bottle. If there is no high vase, you can cut the pole of the water lily short, and the flower head should not exceed the height of the vase too much. Be sure to let the sleeping lotus stand upright in the vase, so a higher collection bottle is the first choice. The flower head is about 10 cm higher than the container. Don't let the water lily's head collapse outside, so the flowers will dehydrate and wither easily when the stems are bent. The outermost layer of water lily has a green protective petal, which is its hardest petal, which can not only play a protective role, but also prolong the flowering period. However, it should be noted that the flower heads of many water lilies in the flower market are very rough, and the natural protective petals make it difficult to bloom and need to be removed. Removing the outermost protection can promote the opening of water lilies. Water lilies with protective petals removed will open in a day or two. Water lilies like light. They will open wider on sunny days and close quietly at night. But that doesn't mean you can expose yourself to the sun. Oh, just one or two hours a day. It doesn't matter if there is no direct sunlight, as long as there is enough light.
