Key points of ramet propagation of red water lilies

Red water lily likes strong light and needs a well-ventilated environment. Artificial red water lily can be planted in pots, potted plants or ponds. Friends who like red water lilies may wait until their red water lilies grow up to breed a new one. Artificial propagation of red water lilies can be carried out by means of subplant propagation. Xiaobian will introduce you to the methods and precautions for subplant propagation of red water lilies.

Red water lily

Subplant propagation is the main propagation method of red water lily. In March to April every year, when the bud has just sprouted, the rhizome will be dug up and divided into several pieces with a sharp knife. Make sure there are more than two full bud eyes on the rhizome and plant it into the river mud in the pond or tank.

Red water lily mainly adopts ramet propagation. Cold-resistant species are usually divided in March to April before germination in early spring, while cold-resistant species have high requirements for temperature and water temperature, so they can only be divided around mid-May. When dividing plants, the rhizomes are dug out first, and the rhizomes with full new buds are selected and cut into root segments of 8~10cm long, with at least one bud in each root segment, and then planted. The top buds are buried upward in the topsoil, and the depth of covering soil is suitable for the bud eyes of plants to be level with the soil surface, and 5~7 sections are planted in each pot. After planting, a little sun, can be injected into shallow water, in order to maintain water temperature, but irrigation should not be too deep, otherwise it will affect germination. When the temperature rises and new buds sprout, deepen the water level. Place in a well-ventilated, sunny place for maintenance, cultivation depth of 20~40cm, summer water level can be appropriately deepened, high temperature season should pay attention to keep the basin water clean. In a small number of potted plants, red water lilies that have been planted for 2 to 5 years can be poured out of the pot, cut into 2 to 4 pieces, and then planted into the pot.

[FAQ] Breeding methods and cultivation points of water lily

Water lily propagation methods:

Subplant propagation: it is the main method of propagation of water lily. In March to April every year, when the bud has just sprouted, the rhizome will be dug up and divided into several pieces with a sharp knife. Ensure that the rhizome has more than two full bud eyes, planted into the pond or tank in the river mud.

Sowing and reproduction: black oval plump seeds are stored in clean water until they are taken out before sowing in the following spring. Immerse in water at 25~30℃ for germination, change water every day, and germinate after two weeks. When the seedlings grow to 3~4 cm, they can be planted in the pool to ensure sufficient water depth.

Key points of cultivation of water lily:

Select the cultivation soil: water lily like humus-rich, fertile clay soil. Therefore, cultivation should choose long-term siltation in Hanoi or pond silt as well.

Choose good seed stem: water lily is cultivated by dividing plant method. The quality of seed stem selection is also a key link in the success or failure of cultivation. Seed underground rhizomes, to select vigorous growth, no damage, with a section of new buds, cut into 6~10 cm long segments.

Appropriate shallow planting: If the underground stem is too deep into the mud, one is that the soil temperature is low, the other is oxygen deficiency, which is not conducive to early growth and rapid development. The cultivation depth generally keeps the new buds on the underground stem level with the soil surface.

Adequate light: water lily likes sunny, warm and humid climate with good ventilation. Water lilies cultivated in pots must be placed in a position with sufficient light to allow them to receive full light.

Water lily has a wide range of uses, can be eaten, can be made into tea, can be cut flowers, can also be used as medicine, the most important thing is that it is also very suitable for viewing, can be planted in artificial lakes, wetlands, rivers and other places, whether it is sub-plant or seeding propagation, after emergence should be carefully managed.

The breeding method and cultivation management of water lily must be known

In April, the sky was overcast and sunny, like a lover's face. April morning sky clouds, like singing and dancing. Fine sand sleeves across time, leaving misty smoke flying extension. April, only shy delicate flowers open. Through the petals of the congealed fat, warm touch. April's colors are fresh and elegant; no red and purple, no ink. Young people are generally lovely and pure. We're going to talk tonight about how to grow water lilies.

propagation method

Generally, it is propagated by dividing plants. In March to April, when the climate turns warm and the buds have sprouted, the rhizomes are dug up and cut into several pieces with a sharp knife, and planted separately. Sowing can also be used for reproduction: after flowering, the flowers are wrapped in cloth bags, so that once the fruit ripens and ruptures, the seeds will fall into the bags without being lost. After the seeds are collected, they are put into a bottle containing water, sealed and put into pool water for storage. The seeds are picked up in the next spring, poured into a triangular flask filled with water, placed in a incubator at 25 C~30C for germination, changed water every day, and germinated for about 2 weeks. When the buds grow young roots, they can be transplanted in small pots in the greenhouse. After planting, put the small pot into the jar, and the water depth is 1 cm to submerge the young leaves. In April, when the temperature rises above 15 C, it can be moved to open air management. With the increase of new leaves, change pots 2~3 times, and the diameter of the pots should not be less than 35 cm at the end of planting. Some plants can flower that year, and most of them can flower the following year.

division propagation

It is the main breeding method of water lily. From March to April every year, when the bud has just sprouted, the rhizome will be dug up and divided into several pieces with a sharp knife. Ensure that the rhizome has more than two full bud eyes, planted into the pond or tank in the river mud.

seed reproduction

Store the black oval plump seeds in clean water until they are removed before sowing the following spring. Immerse in water at 25℃ to 30℃ for germination, change water every day, and germinate after two weeks. When the seedlings grow to 3 to 4 cm, they can be planted in the pool to ensure sufficient water depth.

cultivation and management

Water lilies can be potted or pool-grown. Pond planting should be in early spring will drain the pool, after the application of base fertilizer and then add new pond mud and irrigation. Irrigation should be divided into multiple irrigation. Water is added gradually with the growth of new leaves, and the water depth can be kept at 70~80cm during flowering season. In winter, more water should be irrigated, and the water depth should be kept above 110cm, so that the rhizomes can survive safely. Potted plants shall be planted in pots with an inner diameter and depth of at least 40cm×60cm. The pots shall be turned over and mud replaced around the spring equinox every year, and decomposed soybean cake residue or bone meal, hoof chips and other fertilizers rich in phosphorus and potassium shall be added to the bottom of the pots as base fertilizer. Fertile river mud with a thickness of at least 30cm shall be placed under the rhizomes, and the soil shall be covered until the top buds are covered, and then placed in ponds or vats, and the water depth shall be maintained at 40~50cm. The water layer in the high temperature season should be kept clean, and the water should be changed for too long to prevent the growth of aquatic algae and affect the viewing. After flowering, we should remove residues in time and apply topdressing as appropriate. Potted in indoor maintenance to winter in cold indoor or deep water at the bottom of winter. Growth period to give adequate light, not long-term placed in the shade.

1. Potting around the spring equinox every year, put decomposed bean cake or bone meal, hoof and other fertilizers at the bottom of the flowerpot, and put more than 30 cm of fertile river mud on it. Then plant the root with the bud in the river mud, cover the soil over the top bud, and then add water to the pot or vat. Change the water in time in high temperature season to avoid algae production and affect its beauty.

2. Pool planting in early spring will be drained, after the application of base fertilizer added to the new pond mud, irrigation into sufficient water planting. In winter, irrigation depth of more than 1.1 meters can make rhizomes safely overwinter.

Water lily is a kind of flower and appreciation of the water surface greening material, can decorate fountains, courtyards, etc., in the hot summer to bring people cool, in sewage treatment and water purification role, at present in many places to be promoted, is a rare beautification, purification plants.

Four main points of water lily cultivation:

First, select a good cultivation soil: water lily likes humus-rich, fertile sticky soil. Therefore, cultivation should choose long-term siltation in Hanoi or pond silt as well.

Second, choose a good seed stem: water lily more than the use of sub-plant cultivation. The quality of seed stem selection is also a key link in the success or failure of cultivation. The underground rhizomes used for seed should be selected to grow vigorously, virus-free, non-damaged, non-rotten, with a section of new buds, cut into 6 cm-10 cm long segments.

3. Appropriate shallow planting: If the underground stem is too deep into the mud, one is that the soil temperature is low, the other is that oxygen is poor, which is not conducive to early growth and rapid development. The cultivation depth generally keeps the new buds on the underground stem level with the soil surface.

4. Sufficient light: Water lily likes sunny, warm and humid climate with good ventilation. Water lilies cultivated in pots must be placed in a position with sufficient light to allow them to receive full light.
