How to reproduce Victoria

Reproduction method

Division method

The best time to divide the plants is between February and March, when the earth is just beginning to recover. Take the mother plant out of the pot, gently shake off the soil on its main part, and separate the multiple entangled roots, trying not to tear them apart. You can use scissors or a knife to divide them into several plants, but each root must have root hairs; soak the place where the scissors or knife were cut with Benomyl for a while, take it out, and dry it naturally. Then you can place it in a flowerpot. It takes half a month to one month for new roots to grow. During this period, you must pay attention to watering and water the soil thoroughly at one time before repotting.

Ball splitting method

Small bulbs will grow from the underground roots of Victoria regia. These small bulbs can be cut off and planted in new pots. This propagation technique is relatively simple and easy to implement. But when planting the bulbs, don't plant them too deep.

Precautions

temperature

Victoria regia is a plant of temperate zones. It cannot withstand excessively high temperatures or scorching sunlight, and can survive safely in winter when the temperature is above 0 degrees. Therefore, if necessary, measures should be taken to provide shade and avoid the cold. The best growth temperature of Victoria regia is between 15 and 30 degrees.

illumination

Although it cannot be planted under strong light, it cannot lack sunlight. Only with the care of sunlight can it grow normally and healthily. If it is kept in the shade for a long time, its large leaves will turn yellow and eventually the flowers may not even bloom.
