A detailed introduction of Wang Lian

Wang Lian is a famous tropical aquatic garden ornamental plant of Nymphaeaceae, with the largest leaves of aquatic plants in the world. Next, let's learn more about this plant.

Wang Lian can withstand objects weighing 60 or 70 kilograms at most without sinking. this amazing bearing capacity is unmatched and unmatched by other aquatic plants. Such as a child sitting on the leaf, euphemism as if in a round boat, leisurely, very interesting.

Introduction of Wang Lian

Wang Lian is a plant of the genus Nymphaeaceae. Large perennial or annual floating-leaf herb with erect short rhizomes and well-developed adventitious fibrous roots, white. Has a huge strange plate-like leaves, floating on the surface, very spectacular, and is famous for its delicate and changeable colors and strong fragrance.

Summer flowering, solitary, floating on the surface, white at first, crimson and withered the next day. Native to tropical South America, mainly produced in Brazil, Bolivia and other countries. It is necessary to grow and develop in an environment of high temperature, high humidity and sufficient sunshine. The suitable temperature for growth is 25-35 degrees Celsius, and when it is below 20 degrees Celsius, the plant will stop growing.

It is also the general name of the genus Wanglian. The plants of this genus are famous tropical aquatic garden ornamental plants, with the largest leaves of aquatic plants in the world, with a diameter of more than 3 meters, smooth leaves and leaf edges rolled up, like emerald-green jade plates floating only on the surface of the water; because its leaf veins are different from those of ordinary plants, they are ribbed strips and resemble umbrella racks, so they have great buoyancy and can withstand objects weighing up to 60 or 70 kilograms without sinking.

The characteristics of Wang Lian

Wang Lian, a famous tropical aquatic garden ornamental plant of Nymphaeaceae, has the largest leaves of aquatic plants in the world, with a diameter of more than 3 meters, smooth leaves and curled edges, like emerald-green jade plates floating only on the surface of the water. Because its vein structure is different from that of ordinary plants, it is ribbed and umbrella-like, so it has great buoyancy.

It is a typical tropical plant, which likes high temperature and high humidity, and its cold tolerance is very poor. when the temperature drops to 20 ℃, its growth stagnates. There was chilling injury when the temperature dropped to about 14 ℃, and the temperature dropped to about 8 ℃ and died of cold. In the normal year in Xishuangbanna, it can overwinter in the open field and produce seeds, and the seeds can reproduce, but there is frost damage in the extremely cold years.

Wang Lian is famous for her huge hall leaves and beautiful fragrant flowers. The leaf viewing period is 150 days and the flowering period is 90 days. If Wang lotus is arranged with lotus, water lily and other aquatic plants, it will form a perfect and unique water landscape, which is unforgettable. Nowadays, Wanglian is not only an indispensable ornamental plant in modern garden waterscape, but also a necessary precious flower in urban flower exhibition, which not only has high ornamental value, but also can purify water body.

The Culture method of Wang Lian

Ramet propagation

Ramet time: preferably after soil thawing in early spring (February or March).

Split method: take the mother plant out of the flowerpot, shake off the excess potted soil, separate the root system as much as possible, cut it into two or more plants with a sharp knife, and each plant should have a considerable root system. and its leaves are properly trimmed to facilitate survival.

Disinfection in a basin: soak the divided plants in 1500 times chlorothalonil solution for five minutes, then take out and dry, and then put on the basin. You can also irrigate the root with chlorothalonil immediately after potting.

Management after ramet: put the ramet into the basin and irrigate the root or irrigate once. Because its root system is greatly damaged and its water absorption capacity is very weak, it takes about 3-4 weeks to recover new roots. Therefore, it is necessary to control watering within 3-4 weeks after ramet to avoid rotting roots, but the transpiration of its leaves is not affected. In order to maintain the water balance of the leaves, it is necessary to spray the leaf surface 1-3 times a day (spray more at high temperature, less spray at low temperature or no spray at low temperature). Don't fertilize it these days. After the split, also pay attention to the sun is too strong, should be placed in the shade shed for maintenance.

Bulblet reproduction

The underground parts of some flowers have bulbs or bulbs, tubers, tubers, roots, and so on. After these bulbs or bulbs, tubers, roots and so on have grown in the ground for a year, small balls will grow around them. Just divide these balls down and plant them. Easy to operate and easy to manage. Just be careful not to plant the ball too deep: usually the thickness of the cover is not more than twice the diameter of the ball.

Temperature management: because it originated in temperate zone or warm temperate zone, the temperature requirement is not too strict, as long as it is not less than 0 ℃, it can survive the winter safely; no more than 33 ℃, it can spend the summer smoothly. The most suitable growth temperature is 15-30 ℃.

Light management: sufficient direct sunlight is needed to grow normally. If there is not enough light, or if it is maintained in a shady environment, the leaves will grow thin and yellow, the branches or petioles are thin, the internodes elongate, the petals are small, and the flowers are light or even unable to blossom.
