Why can't water lilies be kept at home? An analysis of the reasons
I. Why they cannot be kept
1. They carry yin energy: Keeping them at home requires a vat of water, and so much still, non-flowing water easily attracts yin energy. Keeping them at home for a long time may allow yin energy to invade.
2. They invite misfortune: The water lily is a type of lotus plant and is very sacred and pure, but if someone in the family brings dust upon it, misfortune may follow.
3. Changing the water is troublesome: Keeping water lilies at home means the water must be changed often, and changing it is very troublesome; a large vat of water is hard to refresh into clean water. Not only that, but placing them at home also takes up a lot of space, so they are generally not kept at home.
II. What to do if you want to grow water lilies
1. Treat the seeds: To grow water lilies at home, use seeds that can germinate. Soak them in water and cover them with a water lily leaf, add nutrient solution in appropriate amounts each day and adjust the environment in time, then wait for them to sprout.
2. Prepare the soil: Water lilies are suited to moist soil. To grow them at home, use silt; once the soil is ready, place it in a container.
3. Plant them: Take out the sprouted seeds and place them in the container with soil, then add an appropriate amount of nutrient solution.
