1. Water lily flowerpot and soil

When growing water lilies, it is best to choose a flower pot with an opening facing outwards, which is conducive to the growth of water lily leaves and has a significant impact on the flowering time of water lilies. The larger the opening of the flower pot, the shorter the interval between the water lilies blooming. The potting soil for growing water lilies should be clay or Yangmingshan soil with high viscosity.

2. Planting of water lilies

When planting water lilies, you should put some base fertilizer in the flowerpot, but not too much, otherwise the roots will rot. After putting the base fertilizer in, add one-third of soil, and then bury the water lily bulb in the soil with the bud facing upward. After planting, move it to a sunny environment, water it enough, and let it grow naturally.

3. Fertilizer management of water lilies

Water lily is a plant that likes fertilizer. During its normal growth period, it needs to be fertilized every half a month or twenty days. You can choose root fertilizer with a longer effective time when fertilizing. However, after September, do not fertilize the water lily anymore because it is autumn and the water lily will soon enter a dormant period. Fertilizing it at this time will cause its roots to rot.
