growing environment
Water chestnut has strong adaptability, likes warm and humid, and is not resistant to frost. Water chestnut usually grows in shallow water. Water chestnut needs high temperature and long sunshine in the early growth stage, such as the optimum temperature for germination is 15-20℃ and the optimum temperature for tillering is 25-30℃.
In the late growth stage, shortening the illumination time (less than 13 hours) can promote bulb formation, and lower temperature (20-25℃) is also beneficial to bulb expansion. The soil is sandy loam or humus, with shallow soil layer and pH value of 6-7.
