How to plant potted water lilies

1. Pot soil

Generally, it is best to use smaller pots or larger flower pots that can hold water for growing water lilies. The diameter of the pot should be at least 25 cm. If it is too small, the water lily will not grow. The soil should be relatively fertile, and it is best to add some leaf mold.

2. Fertilization

Water lilies need to be fertilized frequently, two to three times during the growth and development period. Usually, you can give some diluted cake fertilizer water, or other fertilizer water, or some fermented cake fertilizer powder, or superphosphate. Only when the nutrients are sufficient, it will grow leaves and flower buds smoothly. Secondly, it must be kept in a sunny place with sufficient sunlight.

Precautions for water lily maintenance

When the weather is hot and the temperature is high, water lilies should be changed frequently to keep the water clean. After flowering, some dead leaves and residual flowers should be cut off in time to reduce nutrient consumption. When fertilizing, put the fertilizer a little away from the root system and put it in the mud to avoid burning the roots.
