One of the most beautiful flowers in the world is a water lily. They come in many different shapes and colors from red to yellow, purple to white, blue and pink. You can find them anywhere there is water, ponds or lakes.
Many people have a difficult time growing water lilies. They are beautiful but they need the right amount of light and just enough water to thrive. This blog post will teach you how to grow water lilies at home, in small pots so that you can enjoy their growth year round!
Growing water lilies at home is possible with patience and some easy care tips. Here are just a few things that will help you grow these beauties!
- All you need is a small pot with soil, some seeds or flowers, and patience! You can even grow them indoors during winter months if there isn’t enough natural light outside.
- Rinse out the inside of your container with some water and fill it up halfway with good quality dirt or compost.
- The easiest way to grow water lilies at home is by planting it in a small pot with soil and letting it float on top of your sink or bathtub while you wait for roots to form.
- It only takes about 10 days before they start growing! Once they have grown enough that you can see their leaves poking out of the dirt, simply plant them in another pot without any soil as this will make them last longer than if you had left the roots submerged all along.
- Be sure to get the right type of pot for your needs, then put it in an area where it will be exposed to indirect light (a window that doesn’t get too much direct sunlight).
- You can choose between clay pots or plastic ones; both have their pros and cons, so make sure you know what’s best for your situation before making a decision!
Growing water lilies is a fun project that will last you all year round, as they are low maintenance plants, so it’s perfect if you don’t want to spend too much time caring for them.
