What is the reason for the wilting of the latest water lilies

Water lily is a kind of aquatic flowering plant that can be raised in a pot. because of its high ornamental value and wild interest, many potted friends like to keep a pot at home for appreciation. In the case of suitable growth environment and proper maintenance and management, water lilies generally maintain exuberant growth, and the flowering is also many and large, but also very brilliant, delicate and beautiful, often exhilarating.

At the same time, water lilies will also grow standing leaves, and when it comes to flowering, it looks both gratifying and gratifying, mainly because our hard work has finally been rewarded. However, if we encounter the wilting of the plant during the growth process, it looks like there is no vitality at all, which is bound to affect our good mood. Because in this case, the ornamental value of water lilies will be greatly reduced, so it will inevitably make people feel sorry.

In fact, there are many factors that can cause wilting symptoms of water lilies, such as poor soil quality, damaged water quality, rotten roots, improper light, low temperature, or being attacked by diseases and insect pests, and so on. Therefore, in order to find the crux of the problem, we need to include all possible factors and examine them one by one until the real cause.

First, the soil quality is not good.

Water lilies prefer pond mud, especially lotus pond mud. After all, this kind of basin mud is fertile and soft, which is very suitable for the germination and growth of water lily roots. If we use gravel soil to raise water lilies, the root block of the plant must not grow well. If the root block absorption capacity is not strong, the plant naturally does not grow well, and it is easy to wilt. Therefore, we first need to prepare high-quality basin mud for it.

The water quality is too bad

In order to save trouble, many people directly put tap water to raise water lilies, but fresh tap water is not suitable for direct flower cultivation because of dissolving disinfectants such as bleach powder. Or when the water quality is polluted or damaged, it is not suitable for raising water lilies. Otherwise, the growth state of water lilies is worrying, it is generally recommended to use clear water to raise, and pot culture, it is recommended to change water regularly, it is best to use live water, so that the plant will not wilt.

Third, improper lighting

Water lilies like light very much, if the light is insufficient or the light intensity is too high, especially when the environment is relatively closed and airtight, it is easy to cause muggy under the action of high temperature, so it may also cause the wilting of the plant. In addition to summer to avoid hot sun exposure and appropriate shade, other seasons should let it bask in the sun, while ensuring smooth ventilation.

Fourth, the emergence of rotten roots

Rotten roots are deadly and destructive to flowers and plants. At the initial stage of rotting roots, the general plants show symptoms of wilting, and if they are not rescued in time, they may die directly. There are also many reasons for rotten roots, such as root infection, excessive fertilization and so on. For this reason, we should first determine whether the root of the plant is rotten, and once the root is found to be rotten, it should be rescued in time.

The temperature is too low

The cold tolerance of water lilies is not strong, especially when it is frozen in winter, the plant is easy to wilt. Therefore, measures must be taken to keep warm and keep warm in winter. And it is suitable for shallow water basin in spring and deep water basin in summer. Especially when raising plants in shallow water in spring, let the plants bask in the sun, which is more conducive to heating up in the basin, which can make the plants grow better and avoid freezing.

VI. Disease and insect attack

In the case of uncomfortable maintenance environment, water lilies are also relatively easy to breed diseases and insect pests. When the plant is attacked by diseases and insect pests, it is also easy to wilt. Not only the stems and leaves are vulnerable to invasion, but also diseases and insects may occur in the roots. Therefore, at ordinary times, we should pay attention to observe the growth state of the plant, let it bask in the sun more, and ensure that the environment is ventilated smoothly, which can effectively avoid being attacked by diseases and insect pests.
