Excellent varieties are red peony, white fairy, colorful, Luoshen, Marshan girl, longing and Haierfula and so on. The reproduction of water lilies mainly adopts the method of dividing plants. The cold-tolerant species are usually carried out 3-4 months before germination in early spring, and the cold-tolerant species have high requirements for air temperature and water temperature, so they can not be carried out until around the middle of May.

Water lilies can be directly planted in the pond, families can be potted or planted in baskets and other containers, and then put into the water body, family pots should be large, small pots are not conducive to the growth and flowering of water lilies. The planting depth is required to be level with the mud surface and should not be buried deeply. The general cultivation water depth is 20-40 cm, the summer water level can be deeper, but the water flow is too fast, if the pool water is too deep, it can be planted in the ventilated and sunny place, otherwise it is easy to produce water moss, so that the water lily grows weak and does not blossom.

Pond planting water lilies should pay attention to drainage in the rainy season, can not be flooded, but 1 or 2 days will not cause water lilies to die.

2. Topdressing: water lilies need more fertilizer. During the growing period, if the leaf xanthine is thin and the growth is thin, it is necessary to topdressing.

If the potted water lilies are placed outdoors, the lowest temperature in winter should be covered with weeds or agricultural film below 8 ℃ to prevent the roots from freezing, and they can survive the winter safely indoors. Tropical water lilies should be moved and stored in a greenhouse of no less than 15 ℃. It will be removed from cultivation in May of the following year.
