Detailed Explanation of Key Techniques for Cultivating Aquatic Flowers

Many bouquets differ in how they grow because of different varieties. Today, the editor will explain the cultivation techniques for aquatic flowers. Let us take a look together!

1. Cultivation techniques for aquatic flowers

Different aquatic flowers also differ in their cultivation techniques. In terms of planting depth, it generally needs to be continuously deepened according to growth requirements; aquatic flowers with underground rhizomes, when planted in ponds for a long time, may spread in all directions, so a planting pond can be established; sufficient sunlight during the growth period is essential; when fertilizing, care must be taken to avoid polluting the water quality.

2. Propagation of aquatic flowers

1. Seed propagation: The sowing method for aquatic flowers is to sow the seeds in a pot containing culture soil, cover them with sand or soil, and then immerse the pot in water. The process of immersion should be carried out gradually, from shallow to deep. The germination speed of seeds varies by species. Cold-hardy types germinate more slowly and need 3 months to 1 year, while non-cold-hardy types germinate faster and can germinate about 10 days after sowing. Sowing can be done indoors or outdoors. Indoor conditions are easy to control, while outdoor water temperature is difficult to control, which often affects the germination rate.

2. Division propagation: Most aquatic flowers grow in clumps or have underground rhizomes, and can be directly divided or have their rhizomes cut into several sections for planting. When dividing rhizomes, note that each section must have a terminal bud and tail root, otherwise it will be difficult to grow into a plant. The division and planting period is generally in spring and autumn, and some non-cold-hardy ones can be done in late spring and early summer.
