Water lily tuber or seed
Tools for planting
Dig the tuber of water lily.
Plant the water lily in the soil to be planted.
The control of water level is one of the most important factors for the growth of cold resistant water lilies. With the different growth period, the water level requirements of water lily are different, so we should pay attention to the control of water level. Water temperature has a direct impact on the growth and flowering of water lily. In the early stage of growth, because the petioles are short and the water level is as shallow as possible, it is better not to expose the leaves to the air, so as to increase the water temperature as soon as possible, promote the growth of root system and increase its survival rate.
With the growth of leaves, gradually increase the water level, reach the peak period of growth, and the water level reaches the maximum value, so that the petioles grow, leaves grow, and help to store nutrients;
After autumn, we should lower the water level, raise the water temperature, make the leaves get enough light, enhance photosynthesis, so as to promote the growth of water lily rhizome and buds, and increase the number of propagation body in the next year.
When the weather gets cold, gradually deepen the water level, keep most of the leaves, so as to control the growth of nutrition; before the water surface freezes, the water level should be deepened once, according to the maximum ice thickness in history, keep the top bud of water lily under the ice layer, and have a safe winter.
