The reason and solution of non-flowering in pot planting of lotus when is the flowering period of lotus

Lotus is a kind of beautiful flower. Planting lotus is the hobby and habit of many scholars and scholars as well as people who like lotus. However, compared with planting lotus ponds in a large area, growing lotus in their own home is more in line with their choice. It's just that not everyone who likes lotus can grow a very beautiful lotus, only those who have mastered the technology and methods can do it.

Causes and solutions of non-flowering of lotus in potted plant

1. Different varieties

There are wild and special edible varieties of lotus, which originally flowered less, the growth ability of rhizome was stronger, flowering was less, and even did not blossom.

In addition, the varieties are also slightly different in different flowering stages. Some varieties did not begin to bud until early August and blossomed later.

Solution: before planting to fully understand the habits of the lotus, do not blossom late, mistaken for non-flowering!

2. Lack of light

Lotus is a sunny plant, the growth environment needs good ventilation and adequate light. If you grow in a shady environment for a long time, the growth of the plant can not get enough light, or because of the weather, it is difficult for the lotus to blossom because of the continuous rainy days during the differentiation of flower buds.

Solution: put the lotus in a sunny place

3. The bowl is too small

The lotus needs the most space to grow. Different varieties need different growth space, so the basin should be determined reasonably according to the growth of its rhizome. If the basin is small, the plant enters the incubation period, the rhizome growth space is crowded, the bud has no growth space, and it is difficult to blossom.

Solution: reasonable selection of pots, according to different plant types to select flowerpots.

4. Excessive density

Excessive density means that there are two or more lotus plants in the basin, or the leaves are denser, block each other, and the plants are poorly ventilated, affecting flowering!

Solution: plant only one plant in a pot; the lotus with dense leaves prune the leaves in time to increase the light transmittance.

5. Improper depth of basin mud.

The depth of basin mud also has a great impact on plant growth, the basin mud is too deep, the root of the plant is impervious, the growth of flower buds is limited; the basin mud is too shallow, the root system can not fix the plant, the flower bud is easy to shake in the soil, can not develop normally.

Solution: usually small varieties of basin mud in 17cm to 20cm, and the basin soil is not easy to be too loose. For medium and large varieties, the basin mud should be more than 30cm.

6. The container transmits light.

Lotus bud differentiation needs to be in a relatively airtight environmental glass container or white plastic pot is not conducive to flower bud differentiation. Poor development of flowers can affect flowering.

When is the flowering time of lotus?

The florescence is usually between June and September. There are many colors of lotus, such as white, pink, red and so on. The flowering time of lotus is also affected by temperature. If we want to watch the lotus, it is recommended to watch it between 6: 00 and 8: 00 in the morning.

The florescence begins at about 3:00 in the morning. At first, the outer petals are gradually relaxed, and the inner petals at the top of the bud are loosened. At about 5 ∶ 30 in the morning, the orifice expanded to 2.5~3.5cm and did not close until about 9:00 in the morning, and the bud closed completely after 15 ∶ O0 in the afternoon.

So, if you want to watch the lotus, try to choose the morning instead of the afternoon. At present, many people still plant lotus flowers at home, and we should pay attention to these points. When selecting seeds, we should choose varieties with small plant size, large flowers and more flowers.

Maintenance methods of lotus during flowering period

1. Soil selection

The growth environment of lotus is different from that of other flower species. You can go to ponds or rivers to get silt back. If you are worried that the water will become turbid after releasing the silt, you can first use the fine sand in the river to cover the bottom, and then release the silt, which can not only ensure the clear water, but also make the lotus grow stably.

2. Water quality problems

If you plant lotus in a small pool, you don't need to change water frequently, as long as you replenish it in time; the lotus in petri dish can be changed every week or two to ensure clean water quality. Water should be replenished in time in summer, it must not be short of water, and corresponding warm measures need to be taken in winter.

3. Fertilization

Lotus is generally applied phosphate fertilizer, if necessary, add a little nitrogen fertilizer, if you are not sure, you can directly buy special fertilizer. If there is organic fertilizer at home, it is recommended to mix with the mud and then add it, the effect will be better. When the lotus is growing vigorously in summer, if you find that the lotus leaves turn yellow or fall, you can add some urea into the mud, but not too much.

4. Disease problem

Preventive measures should be taken to control diseases, such as selecting excellent disease-resistant varieties, cleaning up withered branches and leaves in time, and so on. In addition, the intersection of water and drought can effectively avoid harmful bacteria.

Container selection for pot cultivation of lotus

1. Material

The materials of flowerpots can be divided into three types: pottery pots and plastic pots:

Ceramic flowerpots are stable, generous and durable, and are usually used in front of a unit or in a courtyard.

The cost of plastic flowerpot is low, various specifications are complete, and the handling is relatively light, so it is suitable for large-scale production.

2. Size

According to the mouth diameter, flowerpots can be divided into large, medium and small flowerpots. Lotus also has different categories, according to the size of the plant, choose the corresponding flowerpot.

The plant height of large varieties is generally one meter, and flowerpots should be planted in large flowerpots with a diameter of 36 centimeters and a height of 30 centimeters.

The plant height of the medium-sized variety is about 60 cm, and the flowerpot is planted in a medium-sized flowerpot with a diameter of 28 cm and a height of 26 cm.

The average plant height of the small variety is about 30 cm, and the flowerpot is planted in a small flowerpot with a diameter of 22 cm and a height of 20 cm.

Although we plant the lotus to appreciate the lotus's grace rather than the lotus container, we often choose a more noble and elegant container to effectively improve the lotus's temperament, of course, as long as it is good-looking is not enough. there are also certain requirements on material and size.
