Can water lilies be grown without mud?

1. Is it possible?

When growing water lilies, you need to use mud. If there is only water in the cultivation container, its growth will deteriorate due to malnutrition. It will show a series of symptoms, not only the leaves will grow very small, but the leaf color will also be lighter, and may even turn yellow. In addition, it is also very likely that it will not bloom. Therefore, it is necessary to use appropriate silt when planting.

2. Soil Selection

When cultivating, you can use clean silt or pond soil. Be careful not to use compost soil and peat soil, because the fertility in them will pollute the water quality for cultivation and affect the growth of water lilies. Also pay attention to the choice of containers used for cultivation. You should use flower pots without water holes.

3. Other aspects of maintenance

When growing water lilies, it is necessary to let it see the sunlight during the day and not to keep it in a too dark place, otherwise it will grow very weak. The maintenance environment must also have good ventilation. It is best to place it outdoors for maintenance, or on an open-air balcony.
