Reader asks: Can we plant water lilies in summer? If so, can you still flower? What are the requirements for planting technology?
Chen Yinchu, director of Hangzhou Tianjing Aquatic Botanical Garden, replied: Water lilies and lotuses are different in life style. Lotus is a emergent plant. The leaves stand out on the surface of the water. It is difficult to handle the problem of water balance during transplantation. The water lily is a floating leaf plant that floats on the water after transplantation. The leaves themselves can absorb some of the water, and the water balance problem is better handled. In addition, the lump stems of water lilies develop well in summer, and due to the high water temperature in summer, the water lilies transplanted with tubers are easy to survive and recover quickly.
If the water level is within 50 centimeters, the new leaves will be able to surface within 5 days after transplanting the water lilies in the high temperature season in summer, and the buds will bloom within 20 days. It should be noted that the old yellow leaves must be removed when transplanting, and the seedlings with longer and larger tubers should be selected so that the stored nutrients are sufficient to facilitate the growth and development after transplantation. General requirements tuber length 10 cm to 15 cm.
Must not attempt to buy inexpensive water lily seedlings on the market, the tubers are often very small, such as species in the deep water area is difficult to grow floating leaves, may result in death, and in shallow water areas can grow Leaves, but the leaves are small, the plants cover a small area, planted according to normal density, can not achieve the desired landscape effect, to blossoming is even more distant in the foreseeable future. If container seedlings are used for transplanting, the removable pots can also be planted with pots. If the plants are planted with pots, the inner diameter of the containers should be more than 30 cm.
