The requirement of water lily on soil is not high, as long as it is neutral soil (within PH6-8), but the loam with high content of organic matter is better for its growth.
The water depth suitable for the growth of water lily is between 25-30cm, which can be adjusted according to the size of the plant, but the maximum is no more than 80cm. Usually pay attention to the water quality, must be clean and transparent, if the water is dirty and smelly, it is necessary to change the water in time
At ordinary times, you can put the water lily in the environment of 25-30 ℃ for maintenance. In winter, you should adjust the temperature to over 13 ℃, otherwise, except for some cold resistant varieties, ordinary water lily will be frostbitten.
Light is the most important factor in water lily cultivation, because it is a strong light plant. The stronger the light is given to it, the better it will grow. So no matter what season, we need to give it enough light. If the natural light is not enough in winter, we can make up the light manually.
1. Trim in time. When the water lily flowers, there will be some broken flowers and leaves left on the plant, they will not only increase the nutrient consumption of the plant, but also affect the ornamental effect, need to be cut off in time
2. Change mud every year. Water lily needs to change soil every year, because after a year of growth and consumption, the nutrients in the mud are basically used up by the plants, so it is difficult to support the plants to continue to grow. Changing mud can give it more nutrients and help it grow.
