Seed planting method of water lily

Family potted water lilies not only give people a sense of freshness, but also add interest. The miniature variety in the water lily can be used to decorate the room and plant it in an elegant small basin, coupled with a delicate and elegant basin frame, placed in the right position, then this little life, green leaves, delicate flower buds, looming fragrance, in the bath of indoor light, contrast with other indoor decoration, make people pleasing to the eye and make the room more interesting.

The two most important elements of seed water lilies:

First, light

Water lilies like sunshine and are well ventilated, so tropical and hardy water lilies that bloom during the day close at night and bloom again in the morning. Ponds with shady trees on the bank can blossom, but grow weakly. Whether the light is sufficient or not determines whether the water lily can grow well. The more abundant the light is and the warmer the climate is, the better the water lily will grow and the shorter the dormancy period will be. So if you want to grow water lilies, you have to evaluate whether you can provide a place with plenty of light.

Second, temperature

Pour out the water from the water lily basin before and after the cold dew festival and put it in a cold room of about 3 ℃ to survive the winter to keep the basin soil moist without freezing.

Now we will plant water lilies:

Sowing time: Lotus seed has no dormancy period, as long as the water temperature can be kept above 16 ℃, it can be sown in four seasons. Under the conditions of suitable temperature and light, it takes 50-60 days from sowing to flowering in spring and 60-80 days in autumn.

1. Flowerpot

Try to choose the opening outward, the opening outward leaves will be better than the inward leaves, the wider the pot mouth, the larger the flowers (which has little to do with the size of the basin bottom). The depth of the flowerpot affects the flowering interval, and the deeper the interval is, the longer the interval is. The container should be disinfected and washed before planting.

2. Soil

Try to choose high clay, prepare some clay, pond mud is the best, such as: clay, Yangmingshan soil.

3. Then put a little long-acting fertilizer or root fertilizer on the bottom of the basin (too much will rot the root)

In the flowerpot, put about 1 beat 4 feet 1 stick 3 soil, press, and then bury the bulb bud point upward into the soil, the corm will be buried deep, the flowering interval will be longer but larger, and the shallow interval will be shorter and smaller. After planting, move to a place with plenty of light, fill up the water, and wait for the long leaves to blossom (too many leaves can be trimmed).

4. If you want to plant more than two bulbs together

Different from other flowers, two bulbs should be planted next to each other, because if planted separately, when the stronger leaf covers the weaker one, the weaker one will be killed. In addition, if you want to plant together, it is better to be of the same species or the same color, because dark colors (such as purple, blue) will be stronger than light ones (white, yellow). Remember! When the seeds are poured into a container filled with water and mud, it is best to germinate with 25: 30 ℃ of warm water. Change the water every day. Generally, it can germinate in about 2 weeks. The planting site should be well lit and well ventilated.

5. After flowering

The flowers can be cut out and inserted (except Zi Shi lotus). The life span of the flowers is about 3-6 days. On the first day, the flowers will be straighter, then more and more curved, until they bend into the water. If the flowers are cut down and inserted, the flowering interval will be shortened, and the interval will be longer if you let it go.

6. Fattening

About every one and a half to two and a half months, add long-acting fertilizer or root fertilizer about 3 to 5 centimeters from the bulb, but do not add it after the end of September, because the water lily will also enter a dormant period and fatten it, which will cause rotten roots.

7. After entering autumn and winter

Water lilies will also enter a dormant period as the temperature drops, so it is best not to touch it at this time. Only fill up with water when there is little water. The dormancy period of varieties with spots on their leaves will be longer than those without spots, and the light color system will be longer than the dark one.

8. Transplanting and budding:

It can be carried out every year after the Qingming Festival to before the Mid-Autumn Festival. When dividing buds, you should be careful not to hurt the bud point, but the size of the bulb is not too important. It is suggested that there should not be too many bud cores too crowded in a basin, and the leaves will become smaller and will not blossom. So on average, the buds will be divided once or twice every two years (so I give away more every year).

9. Some varieties will carry out another kind of asexual reproduction in the center of the leaf. if you find that there is a long bud in the center of the leaf, ignore it and let it grow until the leaf begins to turn yellow, cut off the petiole with the bud core and put it in a water basin or flowerpot. The same one is placed in a place with plenty of light, about two weeks, when the bud point grows and grows roots, it can be planted according to the normal plant, and it will blossom in the same year.
