2. Select the seed stem: mini water lilies are often cultivated by split-plant method. The selection of seed stem is also the key to the success or failure of cultivation. For the underground rhizome used for planting, the vigorous, virus-free, damage-free, non-rotting section with new buds should be selected and cut into segments 6 to 10 meters long.

3. Appropriate shallow planting: if the underground stem of the mini water lily is too deep in the mud, one is the low soil temperature, the other is the lack of oxygen, which is not conducive to early growth and rapid development, and the cultivation depth is generally moderate to keep the new buds on the underground stem flat with the soil surface.
