The planting method of bowl lotus, the seeds are more likely to germinate in this way.

Planting environment: lotus likes light and heat, its growth temperature is about 20-30 ℃, and its soil requires rich organic and fertile clay. Sowing time: the water temperature is kept above 16 ℃, and the seeds can be sown in four seasons. Seed treatment: first grind off the seed coat of the lotus seed, break it with pliers, cut off a small seed coat, and soak for a few days. Soaking seeds to promote germination: soak the broken seeds in warm water and wait for them to sprout. Choose flowerpot: diameter 50cm or so, depth 40cm or so is better.

I. planting environment

1, the bowl lotus needs sufficient light when growing, it is not tolerant to shade, but also likes heat, its growth temperature is about 20-30 ℃, if the temperature is lower than 15 ℃, it will stop growing, like moist and afraid of drying, like relatively stable still water.

2. The fertile clay rich in organic matter is the best for its soil, and the suitable PH value is about 6.5.

Second, sowing time

1. Lotus seeds have no dormant period. As long as the water temperature can be kept above 16 ℃, they can be sown all the year round.

2. Under the condition of suitable light and temperature, it only takes about 50-60 days from sowing to flowering in spring and 60-80 days in autumn.

3. Seed treatment

1. Because the shell of the lotus seed is relatively hard and dense, it needs to be artificially broken before soaking the seed. There is a small protruding tip on one end of the lotus seed and a small concave spot on the other.

2, put the end of the small concave spot on the rough cement ground to wear out a layer of seed coat, be careful not to hurt the kernel inside, and do not remove the shell. The main purpose of wear and tear is to allow water to seep through this gap, allowing the seeds to absorb water and expand.

3. The method of dealing with the seed: first, put the lotus seed on the cement ground to grind off the seed coat, break it with pliers, and then use a sharp knife to cut off a small piece of seed coat, preferably soaking for a few days, until the seed coat becomes soft.

Fourth, soaking seeds to accelerate germination

1. Soak the broken seeds in warm water of about 20-40 ℃. When the water temperature drops to 20 ℃, the germination rate of the seeds will be slow. If the amount of seed soaked is not much, you can put it into a thermos flask to keep warm.

2. The speed of seed germination is directly related to the temperature. When the temperature is about 30 ℃, it only takes 3-5 days for seed soaking to germinate, and the germ will protrude from the break.

3. During this period of time, the water will be changed every 1-2 days or so. Generally, as long as the seed coat can absorb water and expand, it will sprout.

4. When soaking seeds to promote sprouting, you should pay attention to: if the temperature is low, you can use an insulation cup, warm water of about 30 ℃, and soak outside at a temperature of more than 20 ℃.

5. You need to change the water twice a day, usually once in the morning and once in the evening.

6. When soaking, the seeds must be flooded with water.

7. If the temperature is higher, the speed of germination will be faster, generally more than 20 ℃, and it will germinate in 7 days at most.

Choose flowerpots

1. Although it is called a bowl of lotus, it is too small and too shallow to breed with the vegetable bowl at home.

2. If the small bowl contains less nutritious soil, the plant will not get sufficient nutrients, and its root system will not be extended, which is not conducive to growth.

3. The suitable size of the container is 25-87 cm in diameter and 20-62 cm in depth, ensuring that 38 cm of soil can be filled enough for the roots to grow fully.
