Lilies need to be pruned before they are inserted into the water; after insertion, they also need to be pruned regularly. Water needs to be changed frequently, and the number of water changes is adjusted according to the temperature. In addition, nutritional solution should be used to supplement it. Finally, it is placed in a good place with scattered light and good ventilation.

1. Trim the bottom branches

First, before inserting, it needs to be trimmed once. The specific method is to use a sharp knife at the bottom of the plant to cut a small section obliquely, and then insert it into the water. After that, regular pruning is also important. Trim every two to three days. Each time you trim, cut off one or two centimeters of the bottom. In this way, the water absorption part can be replaced, which is beneficial to make the plant grow more prosperous, and can also prolong the flowering period.

2. Change water regularly

Water plants must be changed regularly. However, the specific number of water changes depends on the temperature. Generally speaking, the higher the temperature is, the more times the water will be changed. When the temperature is above 20 degrees, change every two to three days. At 15 to 20 degrees, change every three days to a week. If the temperature is lower, it can be changed once a week.

3. Use nutrient solution

Plants need many nutrients, which are not contained in water, so they need to be supplemented with nutrient solution. Generally, the nutrient solution sold on the market is OK. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate can also be mixed with water. Can also use rice water, sugar water and so on

4. Place

Attention should also be paid to the specific location of plants. The main factor to be considered is light, which should be scattered. When it comes to flowering, it takes more light, about six hours. In addition, the ventilation is also good
