Main varieties

Main varieties

Purple water lilies

Compared with other types, this type is relatively common. But even so, not many people have seen it. You can tell just by looking at the name. Their petals are purple and the tentacles inside are golden. The combination of the two colors is a "collision match" in popular terms, which is very eye-catching.

This kind of water lily needs to survive in a location with good air flow. One thing to note here is that the water used to raise it must be still water. Friends who want to challenge this kind of flower can refer to it. Like most flowers, they bear fruit after flowering in summer.

Flowers

Blue Water Lily

Compared with the purple variety above, this one looks much more melancholy because it is blue. This is exactly what matches their flower language, indifferent to love and everything else. In addition to melancholy, they also have a little more freshness. The color of their flower centers is uniform, still fresh yellow, and when paired with this rich blue, there is a kind of vitality that spring has come, which is indifferent and powerful.

The water depth suitable for this kind of water lily is not very deep, just twenty or thirty centimeters. As long as the soil doesn't freeze, you can spend the winter in an outdoor pool. This alone does not mean that they can remain green in winter, as the roots, stems and leaves above the ground will wither.

Flowers

Pink water lily

This variety is much more delicate, and the combination of pink and yellow makes the whole flower look more youthful. They are like girls in a pink mood. Of course, the girl does not sleep forever, but it is precisely because of her deep sleep that she wakes up more beautifully, so every moment of success and failure is very moving.

When fertilizing this water lily, you must pay attention to one thing. You cannot use liquid fertilizer. This may be ignored by everyone. Because after all, they live in water, liquid fertilizer is easier to use. However, once liquid fertilizer is used, the water will be contaminated, so just bury the fertilizer directly under the soil.
