How to cultivate lotus in water culture methods and matters needing attention in water culture

The bowl lotus lives in the water, the flower is small, very lovely, raise a pot in the home, bring a kind of lasting appeal that is different from other plants at home, it can not only grow in soil, but also can be cultivated in water, so how should it be cultivated in water? what do we need to pay attention to in the way of water culture? let's take a look at it with the editor.

How to cultivate lotus in bowl by hydroponics

First of all, treat the seeds, then soak the broken seeds in warm water and change the water every 2 to 3 days until the seeds grow into buds. Continue to use blisters after the seed emerges until it grows floating leaves and roots, and then it can be planted in a pot.

Methods and matters needing attention in hydroponic culture of lotus bowls

I. Culture methods

1. Prepare a basin: because this plant likes to carry out physiological activities in dark places, we have to prepare an opaque vessel for it, which can be of your choice.

2. Seed treatment: in order for it to germinate quickly, we need to treat the seed with a tool: use a knife to make a small opening on the round protruding side of the seed, be careful not to hurt its germ.

3. Planting: put the sprouts in the prepared utensils. In order not to let their roots float, they can be covered with a layer of coarse sand to press their roots slightly, which will be much more beautiful.

4. Moisture: pour water into the planted basin and the amount of water is just below the leaves.

5. Nutrients: because there is no substance in the clear water, we have to buy some nutrient solution to pour into the water. The amount of the nutrient solution should be controlled according to the instructions. If you do not put the nutrient solution, the plant will die quickly if there is only water. We can't see the blossom, so we must add the nutrient solution.

II. Points for attention

1. Varieties should be good: varieties should be introduced from relevant breeding units or companies with small plants, beautiful shape and easy flowering, such as Snow White, Waolian, Jiao Rong, etc.

2. the planting container should not be too small: the bowl lotus is not a lotus planted in an ordinary bowl, it is best to choose lotus vats with a caliber of more than 25cm and a height of more than 20cm, ceramic pots, plastic pots, plastic buckets and so on.

3. Plenty of sunshine: Heguang likes the light, and there should be at least 6 hours of direct sunlight every day after planting. Florescence will be moved to the hall to enjoy, placed no more than two days, move to the outdoors.

The reason for the yellowing of lotus leaves

1. Lack of fertilizer: the bowl lotus likes fertilizer during the growing period, especially potash fertilizer. If the bowl lotus leaves are short of fertilizer for a long time, the leaves turn yellow, and the leaves gradually wither and die from all sides to the center.

2, lack of light: the bowl lotus likes strong light, which can be exposed for about eight hours a day. If the light is not enough, it will lead to the inability to carry out normal photosynthesis, which will affect the growth of the leaves, and the leaves will grow yellow.

3. The temperature is too low: if the temperature is lower than 15 degrees during the growing period, it is easy to cause withered and yellowed leaves.

4. Water quality: there is chlorine in tap water, so it is easy to cause withered leaves if used directly.

The solution to the yellowing of lotus leaves

1. Potash fertilizer applied to bowl lotus can not be poured directly in the basin, but it is wrapped in mud to make a ball, which is slightly dried and stuffed in the mud in the middle of the basin. The first fertilization is generally carried out in the basin with 4 to 5 floating leaves, which is equivalent to "colostrum fertilizer". The quality and quantity should be reasonable, with imported diammonium phosphate as the first, followed by the reliable source of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium ternary compound fertilizer, with 10 to 16 grains per basin.

2. The leaves of lotus should bask in the sun frequently.

3. It is best to keep the temperature in the bowl lotus stage at about 30 degrees.

4. If you water with tap water, put it in the sun for a day or two before using it.

The bowl lotus has a very high ornamental value, you can watch the leaves and flowers, but if the yellowing of the leaves will affect its overall beauty, then when the reasons for this phenomenon can be found from several aspects, such as water and fertilizer, temperature, light, water quality and so on, and then symptomatic treatment, it will soon return to health.
