Matters needing attention in water culture of water lilies

1. Water lilies need a lot of light, and plants that grow in the sun are healthier and bloom more brightly.

two。 The water level requirements of different growth stages of water lilies are different, the petiole of the early growth stage is short, the water level should be as shallow as possible, it is better not to let the leaves exposed in the air; as its growth becomes more and more exuberant, the water level should continue to rise; in winter, the water surface freezes to keep its terminal buds under the ice before it can survive the winter.

3. During the peak growth period, attention should be paid to cleaning up withered leaves and surface algae to facilitate better plant growth.

Can water lilies be raised in full water?

Can water lilies be raised in full water?

Answer: yes.

The method of raising water lilies in full water:

Preparation: seeds, nutrient solutions, hydroponic utensils, etc., all of which can be purchased directly online.

Step 1: observe each seed before planting to make sure that each seed has a small mouth, otherwise the seed will not germinate.

Step 2: first soak the seeds in clean water, about a day or so, the water will become a little turbid, do not worry, as long as all the water is poured out, change clean water to continue soaking, need to soak for three days.

Step 3: after soaking for 3 days, you will find that the seeds have sprouted, and if there are any unsprouted seeds, you can take them out and throw them away. Because such a seed is already a waste seed, it will not germinate any more.

Step 4: change the clean water again and add about 14 to 16 drops of nutrient solution to the water.

Step 5: after about 3 days, you will find that the buds have grown up slowly, and then you can add about 14 to 16 drops of nutrient solution once every 3 days.

Step 6: after a period of time, lotus leaves will grow, and then you can put some stones and other sinking things at the bottom of the water to hold down the seeds and keep them fixed. Of course, it is also necessary to fix it.

Step 7: after a period of time, a seed will grow more lotus leaves, and the lotus will bloom slowly.

Note:

Water lilies grow healthily when they are exposed to the sun, so when choosing to put water lilies, you must choose places with sunshine.

It is recommended to put only two seeds in a flowerpot.

Culture skills and matters needing attention of bowl lotus

Now, it is the season when the lotus is in full bloom. is there no other way to see the lotus except to go outside to watch the lotus in the lake? Today, the editor of Huinong Network will introduce to you a kind of lotus that can be raised at home-bowl lotus.

Bowl lotus, usually refers to the small and medium type of lotus, also known as potted lotus, pot lotus, table lotus, belongs to the Nymphaeaceae, is a perennial aquatic plant with multi-node rhizomes. The flowering period is from June to September, and the number of days of single flower blooming varies with different varieties, less than 3-4 days and more than 10 days. Bowl lotus is very suitable for family farming, so what should you know when breeding?

Water requirement of bowl lotus

1. Water with neutral pH

According to the growth habits of bowl lotus, culture with water that accords with the growth of bowl lotus, generally use neutral water, which is more conducive to the growth of bowl lotus.

2. Tap water needs to be stored and reused

Generally speaking, the tap water used in our home can also be used to raise bowl lotus, but it should be noted that before using the water, it must be stored for 1-2 days before use, because the tap water contains a lot of chlorine, which will affect the growth of bowl lotus. Or there will be damage to the roots, damage to leaves, and so on.

3. Water temperature balance

After breeding bowl lotus with the above two kinds of treated water, we should pay attention to the regulation and control of water temperature. You can prepare a tank in advance, fill it with tap water, and then put it outdoors, so as to ensure that the water temperature in the tank is basically the same as that in the basin, the water temperature is balanced, and the bowl lotus can grow smoothly.

Does bowl lotus need to change water at ordinary times?

The general answer to this question is no. Under normal circumstances, water bowl lotus does not need to change water, this can ensure that the nutrients in the water will not be lost, so that the growth of bowl lotus has nutrients. However, in the long run, the water will evaporate, so it is necessary to add water to the container on time. Sometimes after exposure to the sun, many green algae may stain the water color. In fact, it doesn't matter. In this case, bowl lotus and algae will grow with each other, so there is no need to change water.

Culture steps of bowl lotus

1. Seed treatment

Because the seed shell of bowl lotus is hard and dense, it needs to be treated before sowing. Artificial breakage can be carried out before soaking the seeds. The method of breaking is relatively simple. There is a small tip at one end of the lotus seed, and the other end is round. The round end can be worn out on the rough cement floor or with a knife. However, it must be noted that the kernel in the lotus seed must not be hurt, nor can the shell be peeled off directly.

2. Soaking seeds to accelerate germination

After the lotus seed is broken, the seed can be soaked and germinated. The specific operation is as follows: the seeds with broken shells are placed in warm water of about 20-40 ℃, and then the water is changed 2-3 times a day. Generally, there will be a sign of germination after two days, and the bud will have a centimeter in about five days. At this time, the bowl lotus can be properly exposed to the sun to accelerate its growth.

3. Transfer of sprouts

When carrying out the transfer, you can first choose a Wu Di Kong pottery or plastic flowerpot, add pastoral soil or pollution-free river and pond mud, and soak in water two weeks in advance, do not apply fertilizer. During transplanting, the fine roots of small lotus seedlings can be pressed into the mud, and one plant can be planted in each pot. after transplanting, an appropriate amount of water is added to the small lotus leaves as the standard.

4. embellishment and decoration

After the bowl lotus grows, if you feel that there is something missing in the basin, you can first buy some sand from the aquarium, sprinkle the sand on the mud in several times, wait for the water to settle, and then sprinkle it again, until the whole tank is evenly sprinkled. With the sand, the water will soon become clear. After changing into clean water, raise a few small fish in the basin, not only can make the fish eat the worms in the water, but also its excrement can be used as fertilizer. Kill two birds with one stone.

The above are the bowl lotus culture skills that Huinong Xiaobian has sorted out for you. I hope it will be helpful to you.
