In fact, potted water lilies are planted at home with other green plants. it will add a bit of vitality and aura to the home.

Tools: pots without holes, roots of water lilies (seeds), organic fertilizer, water, silt

I. seed propagation

1: put the seeds into a container filled with water and put them in 25: 30 ℃ warm water to accelerate germination. Change the water every day. Generally, they can germinate in about 2 weeks.

2: when the seedlings grow out of young roots, they are moved to small pots for planting.

3: after planting, put the small basin into the water tank to submerge the young leaves by 1 cm. When the temperature rises to 17 ℃ in April, it can be moved to open-air culture. Change the basin with the growth of the new leaves and finally plant it in a slightly larger jar or basin.

2. Propagation of rhizome (ramet)

1: disinfect and wash the tile basin or water tank and fill it with 3~4cm thick mud. There should be water injection space for 20~25cm in the upper part.

2: cut the rhizome with new buds into small segments of 6~8cm (there are at least two or more full buds on each segment).

3: bury the apical bud of the cut rhizome upward under the soil surface, cover the soil slightly, and then inject 2~3cm.

4: after planting, place the pot (cylinder) in a place with good ventilation and sufficient sunshine for maintenance. The water level deepens gradually as the plant grows. 25~35cm is suitable for water depth in summer.

Matters needing attention:

The main results are as follows: 1. In the early growth stage of potted water lilies, the base fertilizer should be sufficient, there is no need to topdressing, and fertilizer should be applied for 2 or 3 times during the growth period. Remember not to apply too much fertilizer to prevent excessive nitrogen content in the soil and water from harming water lilies.

2. In summer, it is necessary to master the depth of the water, keep the water quality clean, change water in the early morning, and remove rotten leaves and remnants in time.

3. Several smaller goldfish can be put in the basin for viewing, and whether the oxygen content in the water is normal can be observed at the same time.

4. Potted water lilies should choose varieties of medium and small plant types, and varieties such as Haierfula, Purple Jeanne and Xiafu can be considered.

Water lilies like the sun very much, and then ensure a certain degree of ventilation. Chic water lily leaves and exquisite beautiful sleeping lotus flowers floating quietly on the water, plus a few small fish, will definitely be full of vitality!

The water lily root must be planted in the soil in the water, and the river pond mud is generally chosen, because the river mud is sticky and can well fix the water lily root in the water, so that the root root will not float away from the soil and float on the water surface because of the loose soil. And this kind of soil is fertile and can provide necessary nutrients for the growth of water lilies. If it is really a mini water lily, you can choose a container with a diameter and depth of about 20 cm. The thickness of the soil is about 15 centimeters, and the water above is about 5 centimeters.

If you want to raise fish in it at the same time, this is a good idea. Because this can not only eliminate the mosquito larvae in the water, but also improve the appreciation of this potted plant. However, the water depth of 5 centimeters is a little shallow for the fish, you can find a deeper container. Don't forget that there should be a certain distance between the water surface and the edge of the container, that is, water should not be placed on the edge of the container, leaving a space of about 5 centimeters. This is not only to prevent the fish from jumping out of the water, but also to provide more oxygen for the fish to live.

Now is not the time to grow water lilies. But can not put the water lotus root dry, you can put it in the water, you can also plant it in the above container soil, keep the container with water, but to prevent freezing.
