Canna lilies can be considered a star variety in wetland greening. The flowers are not only bright but also bloom for a relatively long time, making them very suitable for appreciation. Since they can grow in water as well as on land, they can continue to survive safely whether the weather is dry or flooded.
The habits of Canna lilies are to enjoy a warm and humid environment, plenty of sunlight, and good ventilation. They are heat-resistant, dislike strong sunlight exposure, dryness, strong winds, and are not cold-resistant. Firstly, for the soil, the best choice for potting Canna lilies is a slightly acidic humus soil that is loose, fertile, and has good drainage and ventilation. If possible, it should also be mixed with garden soil, river sand, organic fertilizer, etc. Deep and loose soil is suitable: Canna lilies are rhizome plants, so the pot should be deeper and larger, such as a ceramic pot with a diameter of 30-40 centimeters. They are adaptable and not picky about soil, growing best in fertile, loose, and well-drained sandy loam. A mixture of decomposed leaf soil and garden soil can be used as the growing medium, with a small amount of sand added. When planting, it is advisable to plant deeply and cover the soil with 6-8 centimeters. Place a layer of碎 hard plastic foam at the bottom of the pot to facilitate ventilation and drainage.
Canna lilies enjoy light and warmth and fear the cold: Canna lilies are originally a tropical, shade-tolerant flower, which should be placed in a well-ventilated, sunlit courtyard, rooftop garden, or west-facing balcony. This way, not only will the rhizomes be larger and have more tillers, but the flowers will also be more and brighter. If placed in the shade, the plant will be taller with fewer and lighter-colored flowers, or even no flowers. They are afraid of frost, snow, and freezing. After the frost, all the withered yellow leaves should be cut off, and an empty flower pot should be inverted on top of the pot. In areas south of the Yangtze River, they can safely overwinter outdoors, while in areas north of the Yangtze River, they need to be brought indoors. Prune the flower stems promptly. For potted Canna lilies, after the flowers fade, the flower stems should be cut off from the base, close to the soil surface, and fertilized to promote the growth of new stems from the rhizome. After 1.5 to 2 months, they can bloom again. This way, from late May to October, they can bloom 3 to 4 times, always maintaining beautiful flowers and leaves.
