How to plant water lilies, how to plant water lilies

Water lily. The required soil is relatively strict, water lilies like to grow in a loose and fertile soil environment with cohesive soil, but the viscosity can not be too large, otherwise it will affect the growth of water lilies, so the potting soil is generally mixed with river embankment and lotus pond mud, which is generally more suitable for alkaline soil. Water lily is a plant that likes light, and water lilies should receive at least 6 hours of light every day, so as to ensure that water lilies receive sufficient light, so that water lilies can accumulate more organic matter in their bodies to promote its growth and development, so we need to put water lily cup seedlings outdoors in full sunlight for cultivation when planting.

Water lily cup seedlings should be fertilized regularly, generally organic fertilizer can be applied about a month after planting, and then fertilized after the leaves of water lilies grow, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied about a week or so when flowering, so as to promote the growth and development of water lily cup seedlings. In summer, the temperature is relatively high, and the water lily is easy to cause the leaves to wither due to water loss, so it is necessary to water the water lily seedlings 2-3 times a day, and at the same time ensure that the water in the seedlings is relatively clean, and if the water quality is polluted, the water should be changed in time.

Water lily.

1. Seed treatment.

The shell of the lotus seed is hard and denseBefore soaking, it is necessary to make an artificial break, and the lotus seed has a small protrusion at one end and a small concave point at the other end。Grind the end with a small dimple on the rough concrete floor or make a small cut with a vice, taking care not to pinch the embryo and not to remove the shell.

2. Soak seeds to promote germination.

About how to plant water lily seeds, the water temperature in summer is 20 -30 is very suitable for lotus seed germination, depending on the number of seeds, use a bowl or pot to hold water, to soak the seeds as a degree. Place it indoors and change the water twice a day, and it can germinate within 1 week. After budding, place it in a sunny place to strengthen the light, and water is indispensable.

After 2 weeks, thin roots and 2 3 young small lotus leaves will grow, and the leaves will be like money, and the root system can be formed.

3. Precautions: pay attention to pests and diseases.

Water lilies are generally planted by dividing and sowing, and the dividing is usually carried out in the spring of each year, when the water lilies are dug out of the water, and the water lily roots are cut into several parts with a knife, and they are planted into the original soil. Sowing needs to put the water lily seeds in the 25-30 incubator to promote germination, change the water once a day, about half a month or so the water lily seeds can germinate, and after the seeds grow roots, they can be transplanted and planted in the pond soil.

First, the water lily is generally propagated by the method of dividing, usually in the spring of each year, when the temperature warms up, the water lily begins to germinate, the plant is dug out of the water, the water lily root system is cut into several parts with a knife, and planted into the original soil respectively, and the water lily can resume growth for a week under normal maintenance, and wait until the summer flowering.

If you want to harvest the seeds yourself, remember to cover the flower head of the water lily with a cloth bag after the water lily is defeated, so as to collect the seeds, so as not to scatter the seeds of the water lily when they are mature. After the water lily seeds are collected, the seeds need to be placed in a 25-30 temperature incubator to germinate, and the water is changed every day, and the seeds of the water lily can germinate in about 2 weeks, and when the seeds grow roots, they can be transplanted into the pond.

3. Seedling plantingIf we buy water lily seedlings directly, you can transplant water lily seedlings into pots, put the pots into the tank, add water to just be able to submerge the young leaves of water lilies 1cm, and gradually increase the water level with the growth of water lilies. Wait until the weather warms up and move it to the outside for maintenance, usually in the growth period of the water lily needs to be repotted 2-3 times, usually let the water lily bask in the sun, the more sunlight, the more vigorous the water lily grows, the more flowering.

Precautions: Container selection: The larger the basin mouth and the better the air permeability, it is conducive to the growth of water lilies.

Water and fertilizer: In the early stage of planting, add a sufficient amount of basal fertilizer to the soil at the bottom of the container, or appropriate top dressing according to the growth situation. For example, if the newly sprouted leaves are yellow, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be chased.

Overwintering management: Move to a place with high indoor temperature for maintenance. In the case of hydroponics, reduce the amount of water in the pot.

The method of growing water lilies is very simple, first you have to have a body of water. There must be clear water in this water. At this time, you can sprinkle water lilies in this water, which usually does not require any management, as long as there are no clumps of aquatic plants.

Water lilies are perennial aquatic flowers of the family Nymphaeaceae. The leaves are rounded, entire, clumped, floating on the surface of the water. The flowers are solitary, 3 5 cm in diameter, 8 15 petals, 4 calyxes, most stamens, white, yellow, pink and other colors.

After the flowers are gone, they sink into the water and bear fruit. The berries are spherical, centimeter in diameter, and the seeds are mostly oval. The flowering period is from summer to autumn, and each flower blooms for 2-7 days.

It is native to Japan, Russia and the United States.

Likes sunlight, high temperatures and moisture. Prefers fertile clay soils.

Mainly propagated by ramparts, in May the underground stem is cut into 6 10 cm long stem segments, planted in the mud, so that the new shoots on the stem are level with the soil surface, slightly bask in the sun and then put shallow water, the temperature rises, the new shoots germinate, and then deepen the water level, the water should not flow too fast, the water level shall not exceed 30 40 cm. It is advisable to dry and crush the mud of the paddy field, and add the rotten bean cake and bone meal for planting.

It can also be used to sow seeds, take seeds from the bottom of the mud and store them in water. In spring, it is taken out of the water, sown in shallow cement, and after the seeds have germinated, the water level is deepened.

Underground stems must overwinter in wet mud, and potted plants are mostly used in the north, and potted in greenhouses or homes in winter. Planted for 2 to 3 years, can be dug out and planted.

During the growth period, the residual leaves and flowers should be cut off frequently. Apply the mud mixed with soybean cake powder and river mud once, and the top dressing should be evenly put into the pool.

The water lily lily is large, beautiful in color, bright and green in leaves, floating on the water, suitable for planting in a calm shallow pool for viewing. It can also be raised in the tank to beautify the courtyard and square.

Material preparation: container (water tank, etc.), water lily root, compost soil, pond mud (river mud), water.

1. Spread a layer of pond mud on the bottom of the container.

2. Fix the water lily root in the pond mud.

3. After fixing the roots of the water lily, sprinkle a layer of compost soil.

4. Pour in water to cover the soil.

Notes:Water lilies need plenty of sunlight to grow well, so be sure to keep them in the sun. After October, the water lily gradually enters the yellow leaf stage, so it is normal for the leaves to wither, so don't worry; Then there is the winter, the south does not freeze the place basically do not have to worry about the winter, the north has heating in the house can move it into the house to raise, no heating pay attention to the depth of freezing, do not freeze the rhizome on the line.

Cultivation management.

1 Potted plants Every year around the spring equinox, put well-rotted bean cake or bone meal, hoof and other fertilizers at the bottom of the pot, and put more than 30 cm of fertile river mud on top. Then plant the roots with the bud holes in the river mud, cover the soil over the top buds, and add water to the pot or jar. Change the water in time during the high temperature season to avoid the production of algae and affect its appearance.

2 Pond planting In early spring, the water is cleaned, and new pond mud is added after the basal fertilizer is applied, and sufficient water is poured for planting. In winter, the irrigation depth is kept above the meter, which allows the rhizomes to overwinter safely.

Water lilies are a kind of water surface greening material that can be used to decorate fountains and gardens, and bring coolness to people in the hot summer months.

1. Reproduction: commonly used for dividing and sowing propagation. Branching, digging out the rhizome in March and April, selecting the rhizome of the new shoot and cutting it, the bud should be full. Sowing, temperature-loving species 3 April in indoor pot sowing, cold-tolerant species in spring outdoor sowing, sowing about half a month after sowing, a few species can bloom in the same year, generally the next year to see flowers.

2. Cultivation: Planting requires the buds to be flat with the soil surface, generally requiring a water depth of 20 30 cm, and the water level can be deeper during the vigorous growth period, but the water flow should not be too fast. Pond planting or tank planting should be a ventilated place with sunlight, and insufficient sunlight will affect flowering. Cold-tolerant species can safely overwinter in the open field in winter, while temperature-loving species need to be dug up and placed indoors for wintering.

3. Pests and diseases:

There is aphid damage during the growth period, and it is sprayed with 3000 times of 40 dimethoate emulsion. Sometimes there is Spodoptera exigua, which can be sprayed with 90 trichlorfon 1200 times and green worm fungus 800 times.

4. Application: Water lily has a long period, flowering from May to September, rich in flower color, white, pink, blue, purple, red, yellow and other colors, it is an ornamental plant widely used in the special arrangement of water features in modern gardens. Tank planting to decorate the platform and balcony is also very suitable.

Water lilies should be planted in the spring of each year, specifically in March and April. Seeds must be treated before entering the soil, the outer layer wrapped in the surface layer is disposed of, the first break, and then put in warm water to soak for a week, pay attention to change the water frequently, and continue to soak after the sprouts come out, about a week can take root. After rooting, transplant it into a pot, put in silt first, and then add an appropriate amount of water.

When planting water lilies, we should pay attention to the pH value of the soil, preferably weakly alkaline, and rich in humus and organic matter, so that it will grow better in such a soil environment.

In fact, you can use the general garden soil, which is easier to control, and the smell can not be judged whether it is polluted, it may be more organic matter and more microbial content.

I'm also planting bowl lotus, the mud you dig should be fine, I got it like this, first make a small plastic pot (the kind of instant noodle giveaway box is just right, haha) to hold the mud dug up, the first day may be mixed with water, after a few days, just filter out the floating dirty things every day, put the box into the tank after 5 or 7 days, slowly fill the water around, slowly cover the plastic box, and then plant the bowl lotus with sprouts and long leaves in it, so that there is mud in the middle, the surrounding water is very clear, and you can also raise a few fish, and you can change the water by siphoning.

If your tank is large, you can consider using a small plastic bucket to fill the mud and put it into the tank!

Water lilies are highly adaptable and can be planted not only in lakes but also in pots. Therefore, they are hardy plants. Many flower lovers also love water lilies because the whole process of growing water lilies is full of interest.

There are a lot of people who have a lot of free time in their lives, so they spend it by having pets or growing plants. The cultivation of plants can not only cultivate sentiment, but also relax the body and mind. In recent years, many friends who have fish ponds at home have chosen to grow water lilies at home, but many people do not understand how to raise water lilies in fish ponds.

The following is a detailed introduction to water lily farming in ponds, whether it is a first-time breeding or someone with some experience in water lily farming, you should learn in detail.

First, the selection of materials! Before planting water lilies, you should prepare a flower tube with a height of 50 cm and as large a diameter as possible. Next, put the well-mixed nutrient soil into the pot and fill the soil with about 30 cm to achieve the purpose of water storage.

Second, bury it in a flower pot! Bury the well-growing propagules in pots, leaving only the top buds slightly exposed to the soil. After planting, the water should not be too full, and the soil layer should be controlled at about 3 cm, which is conducive to heating and can improve the survival rate of water lilies.

Three, increase water! As the water lily grows, the water level should be appropriately raised, mainly for ease of management. However, in the winters in Beijing and Tianjin, water lilies will have difficulty overwintering, so we recommend that you transfer the water lilies to the greenhouse, or sink the water lilies directly into the fish pond.

Fourth, sink basin! First, prepare a non-perforated nutrient pool with a height of 30 cm and a diameter of 40 cm. The height of the fill soil is about 25 cm when planting.

When the water lily is successfully planted, it sinks into the fish pond. Wait until the water lilies grow, and gradually raise the water level. This can help water lilies survive the winter when they need to increase the water level.

Keeping the top buds of water lilies under ice can help these plants survive the winter, but the downside is that when they are well managed, they have to go into the pool.

Fifth, cultivate! If water lilies are planted in fish ponds, they need to have abundant soil and the bottom of the pond should be at least 30 cm deep. When propagating, it can be planted directly in the soil, and the water level should be shallow at the beginning, controlled at about 3cm.

This will help to heat up and increase the water level as it grows.

Sixth, insects, once the lily is planted, the disease will be prevented. Most aquatic plants with soft leaves are susceptible to disease and insects during the summer months, resulting in a change in color. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the cultivation and management of plants, and remove diseased leaves in time.

If the plant is found to be seriously diseased, the soil should be replaced in time and replanted. In addition, nitrogen fertilizer should not be applied during fertilization. When plants come into contact with pests and diseases, spray chlorothalonil 75% can be used to control them.

How to grow water lilies:

1. Prepare the matrix

Clean the pond or pot and then lay a layer of silt on the bottom. If not, you can replace it with mountain mud or other soil, but pay attention to the need to remove large impurities, stones, tiles, etc. before planting. In particular, there are some relatively large pieces of organic matter in it, because it is easy to float to the surface of the water after pouring water, so it must be removed.

A small amount of water is then added to dilute the matrix into a puree.

2. Treat rhizomes

Take the water lily from the pot, then select some of the more robust rhizomes on it, cut it to a length of about 8-10cm, and make sure that it has 2-3 young shoots.

3. Carry out planting

The treated rhizome shoots are buried in the soil with the young shoots facing upwards and the young shoots are exposed to the soil. Then add some water and let the water cover the young shoots of the rhizome. Be careful not to add too much water, otherwise it will not be conducive to its survival.

4. Later maintenance

After about a week, the planted soil will be clumped and some flocculent material will float on the surface of the water. After a little while, it will grow young leaves. At this time, it is necessary to add water according to its growth condition, so that its young leaves remain floating on the surface of the water.

Once it has grown multiple young leaves and its root system is firmly established, it can be maintained normally.
