Water lilies do not have high requirements for soil, as long as the soil is neutral (within PH6-8), but it is better for its growth to be raised in loam with high organic matter content.

Second, use water

The water depth suitable for the growth of water lilies is between 25 and 30cm, which can be adjusted according to the size of the plant, but the maximum should not exceed 80cm. Usually pay attention to the water quality, must be clean and transparent, if the water is dirty and smelly, it is necessary to change the water in time.

V. matters needing attention

1. Pruning in time. When the water lily blossoms, there will be some residual flowers and leaves left on the plant, they will not only increase the nutrient consumption of the plant, but also affect the ornamental effect, which needs to be cut off in time.

2. Change mud every year. Raising water lilies needs to change the soil every year, because after a year of growth and consumption, the nutrients in the mud are basically used up by the plant, so it is difficult to support the plant to continue to grow. Changing mud can give it more nutrients and help it grow.
