What if potted water lilies do not blossom? How to make water lilies bloom

Water lilies are water lilies with beautiful shape and rich colors. They are one of the most valuable aquatic flowers and people's favorite perennial aquatic ornamental plants. The appearance of water lilies is similar to that of lotus flowers, but the leaves and flowers of water lilies do not rise much above the water surface, but float on the water surface, giving people a feeling of laziness and loveliness. However, many flower lovers say that the water lilies they grow only grow leaves but do not bloom. Why is that?

1. The cause of the variety

Families had better choose varieties of abundant flowers, such as miniature Haierfula, Xiaobaizi lotus, small Xiafei, medium-sized Colorado, and then use containers suitable for growing flowers, mud, fat, water, light and other conditions if they do not open for a year, it is best to cut out overdense buds and pick leaves and fatten water lilies are floating leaves, which are sometimes easy to sunburn and air-dry when they come out of the water, and it is normal for old leaves to be rotten if yellow is changed, duckweed is difficult to remove. It has little effect on the growth of water lilies and can be fished by hand when it is too much.

2. Lack of light

Water lilies are positive plants, like plenty of sunshine, if the long-term lack of light, there will be luxuriant stems and leaves and little flowering, or even long leaves without flowering. If it is cultivated in a shaded and unventilated place for a long time. Moss is easy to grow on the surface of the water, which leads to the weakening of plant growth and the phenomenon that its long leaves do not bloom. therefore. In order to cultivate water lilies, we should pay attention to giving full sunshine. Long sunshine is especially needed during flower bud differentiation.

3. Long-term undivided plants

Potted water lilies had better split in early spring every 1 ~ 2 years. If the plant is not divided for a long time, the pot will not be changed. The root system in the basin is congested together, resulting in root dysplasia. The weak growth of the plant will affect the flowering.

4. There are too many plants.

The space in the basin is unlimited, if more than ten plants are planted in each pot, resulting in overlapping and crowded leaves, poor ventilation and light transmission, the central plant will affect the normal flowering due to lack of light, even if the flowers are mostly small and light flowers. In addition, because the water layer is too deep. Diseases and insect pests and other reasons will also affect the flowering of water lilies.

5. Excessive application of base fertilizer

In particular, too much nitrogen fertilizer makes the vegetative growth of plants too exuberant, which inhibits reproductive growth and affects flower bud differentiation. The quality of cultivated soil is not good, such as long-term planting in sandy soil, it will grow weak due to lack of nutrients, do not blossom or blossom badly.

Water lilies have a dreamy charm. Most of the fresh cut flowers come from land, while water lilies come from the water, and the Latin program Nymphaeales, which means "goddess in the water". Even if they enter the fresh cut flower market, we can easily take them home, but we often encounter an awkward question: why don't my water lilies bloom? In fact, we only need three steps to make your water lilies bloom!

In fact, the maintenance of water lilies is quite unique. As aquatic plants, they need far more water than ordinary flowers; their outermost petals are too hard and thick to bloom on their own. Teacher p brought water lilies to take care of the Heart Sutra today. Just take three simple steps to keep your water lilies in full bloom.

Step one:

Preparation before maintenance: a bunch of fresh water lilies, a vase filled with water, flower scissors, fresh-keeping liquid. The branches of water lilies are long and straight, suitable for a slender vase. When adding water to the vase, the water level is required to reach 80% Rue 90% of the bottle body, which is higher than ordinary flowers, of course, because water lilies love water too much.

After preparing the vase and water, what you can't miss is the antistaling liquid. Drop two drops of fresh-keeping liquid into the water to make the water lilies bloom longer.

Step 2:

Because the green petals of the outermost layer of water lilies are very hard, if you keep this layer of petals, it will be difficult for the flowers to open. Even if it is open, it may not be able to open up completely. So the most important step in the maintenance of water lilies is to peel off the outermost petals!

In the last issue of rose maintenance, we mentioned that the "protective petal" of the outermost layer of the rose needs to be retained in order for the rose to bloom for a long time. However, when it comes to water lilies, the outermost petals are much tighter than the protective petals of roses, so they must be peeled off in order for water lilies to open.

This is what Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: "soldiers have no constant potential, water has no constant shape." The maintenance of special flowers also needs to use different methods according to the characteristics of different flowers.

Step 3:

When bottling water lilies, pay attention to making the upper part 10 centimeters above the water surface. If you have no idea of 10 centimeters, open your thumb and index finger and measure the length of the water lily above the water surface.

A slender water lily needs a slender vase. When choosing a vase, try to choose a slender one. Water lily shape is gentle, you can choose a glass vase, if it is a round mouth, it is better. Water lilies also have an indisputable temperament. Choosing a vase similar to the tin literary style in the following picture will have an unexpected effect.

Water lilies, a water-loving plant, need far more water than other flowers. Before finally inserting the bottle, we can hold the water lily branch upside down, fill the flower branch with water under the tap, and then insert the bottle. The flow of water should not be too large, but should be injected slowly to let the flowers absorb enough water.

Water lilies like the sun, so put them in a place where there is light. However, having light does not mean exposure to the sun, direct sunlight will do some harm to them. It is best to put it behind a curtain that is sensitive to light, or next to the direct sunlight.

Beautiful water lilies sit in a bottle, and you can smell their unique fragrance at this time. In previous articles, we mentioned that cut flowers sacrifice a large part of their own aroma in order to keep them fresh, but water lilies are an exception. As a fresh cut flower, the water lily still retains its original fragrance, clear and distant, reminding you of the air after a rain in Southeast Asia, or those sleeping and waking up in Monet's immortal beautiful figure in the small town of Giverny on the outskirts of Paris.

Warm reminder:

Potted water lilies are generally cultivated in hydroponics and can be placed in the office, bedroom, living room, balcony or yard. Because it likes the sun, as long as it ensures its light, ventilation and fertilizer, it basically does not need to spend much energy on management.
