When do water lilies split and transplant?

Water lilies not only bloom beautifully, but also bring some natural atmosphere to the environment if they are potted, and if some small fish are raised in them, some small ornaments can add a lot of wild interest. In order to save trouble, many pot friends often buy ready-made seedlings directly back potted plants. For home potted users, seedlings can generally be cultivated by sowing and dividing plants.

However, if you divide the plants, you need to grasp the timing, because if you divide the plants at the right time, it is easier to resume normal growth after planting in the pot. However, the transplanting of water lily plants generally needs to be combined with pot replacement, because water lily plants generally need to be replaced regularly every 1-2 years. So, when do the water lilies split and transplant?

As for the time of transplanting, it is usually selected in spring, and it is most appropriate to remove it from the pot in the late March of spring for transplanting. This was because it was also the best time to change the pots for the water lily. It was the best time to transplant the plants. At this time, we will dig out the roots of the water lily, and then cut into root sections of about 10-15 cm in length, and then plant them separately in pots.

In fact, water lilies are suitable for annual pot change, originality and spring, when both pot change and plant division are the best time. Because the cold resistance of water lily is relatively poor, in late March of spring, the temperature basically begins to rise, and the water lily will gradually resume growth after dormancy for a winter. At this point, not only is it easier for the lily to resume growth quickly, but it is also less susceptible to freezing damage.

It should be noted that when we divide the plants, we may see a small spherical thing growing under the seedlings of some water lilies, so can we directly break down the seedlings together with the small balls and plant them separately? Experienced friends naturally wouldn't do this, because it was very difficult for the broken seedlings to survive with the ball. Even some seedlings may only have fibrous roots below, not even small balls, so it is often more difficult to survive if you want to divide them.

In order to make the water lily seedlings survive smoothly after the pot, it is recommended to cut off the tender seedlings together with the root blocks below, and then plant the seedlings separately, which is often easier to survive. If you are not sure, do not pull out the tender seedlings directly into the pot, otherwise it is generally difficult to let them survive quickly, and may even die soon, even if the tender seedlings with small balls, it is not recommended to do so.
