How to make water lilies bloom and when do they bloom during the day?

1. How to bloom

1. Clean water: Water lily is an aquatic plant that grows in water. The quality of water determines the growth of the plant. First of all, make sure the water is clean and hygienic, and change the water regularly. At the same time, if the water level drops due to evaporation, water should be added in time. Generally, the water depth should be between 25-30 cm, which is more conducive to its growth.

2. Suitable temperature: Water lilies grow well in a warm environment and will only bloom when the temperature is between 25-30℃. Too hot or too cold will stop their growth and prevent them from blooming. Ventilation needs to be strengthened in summer to effectively reduce the temperature. In winter, place the plants in a sunny place to prevent the water surface from freezing.

3. Adequate light: Water lily is a light-loving plant. Its growth cannot be separated from sufficient light. It must be placed in a sunny place to allow it to receive sufficient light. This will allow it to better carry out photosynthesis and accumulate nutrients, thereby promoting flowering. Moreover, it is resistant to strong light and is not afraid of exposure to the sun, and does not need shade in the summer noon.

4. Appropriate fertilization: Water lilies grow in water, so fertilization is different from that of terrestrial plants. Generally, nutrient solution is sufficient. If you want to apply solid fertilizer, you need to wrap it with absorbent paper and poke a few small holes in the paper to release the nutrients into the water. This will prevent the fertilizer from sinking to the bottom and accelerating the growth of aquatic plants such as algae.

2. Flowering time

The flowering period of water lilies is from May to August, and the flowering time of the day usually starts at 12 noon and lasts until 3 or 4 in the afternoon. The flowers close after sunset and reopen the next day, usually lasting 3-5 days.
