What are the water lily planting methods?

Water lilies belong to perennial aquatic herbs and belong to the family Nymphaeaceae. The main difference between water lilies and lotus flowers is that the leaves and flowers of water lilies protrude to the surface, while the flowers and leaves of water lilies float on the surface. Next, I'm going to introduce you to the method of growing water lilies.

Conditions for planting water lilies

Water lilies and lotus flowers are similar in planting and cultivation, but there are still great differences in morphology, physiology and other characteristics between them. Therefore, there is a certain difference between water lilies and lotus flowers, but the basic preparation conditions are nothing more than five things: containers, soil or mud, fertilizers, sites, and varieties.

Water lilies are born in ponds and look like lotus flowers and are known as "sleeping beauty in flowers". Cold-tolerant varieties are usually divided before they germinate in early spring, while cold-tolerant varieties can not be divided until the temperature rises around the middle of May. Pay attention to light and temperature when planting water lilies. Water lilies like the sun, not cold, the climate is too cold, water lilies will enter the dormancy period.

According to the different planting location, water lily cultivation can be divided into tank planting, pot submerged water cultivation and pond cultivation.

The main results are as follows: 1) the cylinder needs to choose a bottomless flower jar with a large diameter as far as possible, and there is a uniform mixture of nutrient soil in the cylinder, which should be well ventilated and add water with the growth of new leaves, and the water depth can be kept at 70 to 80cm in the flowering season. In winter, more water should be irrigated, and the water depth should be kept above 110cm. It is difficult for Beijing and Tianjin to overwintering in winter, so it is necessary to move into the greenhouse or sink into the pool.

2) the diameter of the pot selected by the potted plant should be more than 40cm, the depth should be more than 60cm, and the basin should be turned over to change mud every year according to the actual situation, and the rhizome should be buried in the thick mud of Feiwo River of 30cm, and then placed in the basin. The water layer in the high temperature season should be kept clean, change the water regularly, give sufficient light during the growing period, and get rid of the remnants and fertilize in time after flowering. Similarly, the Beijing-Tianjin area should move into the cold room or the bottom of the deep water to overwinter in winter, and pot planting is more convenient than cylinder planting.

3) in order to grow water lilies, choose a pond with rich soil, at least there is 30cm deep soil at the bottom, which can be directly put into the seedlings propagated in pots. The water level should be shallow at the beginning, and the water level should be raised step by step. According to different regions, the water level of overwintering is different, so that the rhizome can survive the winter under the ice. The advantage is that the population effect is good, the growth is large, and the disadvantage is that it is difficult to dig in the next year, and it is not easy to control diseases and insect pests.

Water lilies can be propagated in two ways, one is to propagate separately, dig up the rhizome when the bud has just germinated, make sure that there is more than one full new bud on the rhizome, cut into 8-10cm long root segments, and plant them into the river mud in the pond or tank. The second kind is seed reproduction, before the fruit is ripe, wrap it with good breathable gauze to prevent the seed from falling into the water, then choose the seed with full particles to soak in warm water to accelerate germination, change the water every day, and then move it into the soil after germination. the basin soil uses fertile clayey loam and the sowing temperature is 25-30 ℃.

Matters needing attention in planting water lilies

1. Soil selection: clayey soil rich in humus is especially suitable for the growth of water lilies. Therefore, silt from river ponds can be used when selecting soil.

2. Seed selection: water lilies are often cultivated by the split method; the quality of the seed stem is the key link of the final cultivation success or failure, and it is best to select a section of underground rhizome with good growth condition and cut it into stem blocks around 6~250px.

3. Proper shallow planting: the stem is too deep in the mud, which is not conducive to the growth of water lilies. The depth of cultivation is based on the fact that the new buds on the stem are flat with the soil.

4. Lighting: the environment where water lilies are planted must be sunny, warm, humid and well ventilated. Especially for water lilies cultivated in pots, the light must be sufficient.

Water lilies do not need to be managed regularly and grow fast. In addition to the ornamental function of water lilies, its flowers can also be eaten, and the fragrance of bubble tea is pleasant. Growing water lilies at home can really kill many birds with one stone. Looking at the planting methods of these water lilies, you now know how to raise water lilies.

These are the water lily planting methods that I have summarized for you, and the whole content of the water lily planting process. I hope this article can help you. Please continue to follow us.
