How much does a lotus seed cost in the market

In the summer pond, there is a large piece of beautiful flowers, that is the most common lotus, it looks very beautiful, giving people a fresh and elegant feeling, so many people like it very much, so how much is a lotus seedling on the market now? How on earth should its seeds be planted? Let's take a look.

How much is the market price of lotus seedlings?

The lotus seedling is the lotus root, not the seed. The ordinary price is about 3.5 yuan, and the high-quality one is more than five yuan, more than ten yuan, or even dozens of yuan per tree. Generally speaking, it depends on the scarcity of the lotus. It is necessary to consider and evaluate the price from the aspects of color, petal shape, nature and survival rate.

How to plant lotus seeds

First, cut off 2-3 mm of the top seed coat with a sharp knife, soak the seed in water for 2-3 days, then sow the seeds in a basin (the pot soil treatment is the same as the split method). Then soak the basin into a large water tank and keep water 3-4 cm deep on the basin surface. At the temperature of 25-30 degrees, fine buds can be sent out after 8-10 days, and then gradually grow leaves, which can blossom in the next year.

Propagation methods of Lotus

1. Seed propagation: in fact, seed reproduction is the most commonly used method in family planting lotus flowers, and the specific method is relatively simple. As long as the open seeds are soaked in water and often changed, they can germinate in about a week, and take root in two weeks and transplant. When transplanting, pay attention to the shallow water layer, lotus leaves to be exposed to the outside, a little maintenance, the same year can blossom.

2, split lotus root reproduction: the premise of lotus root reproduction is that you have an adult lotus flower, mid-March to mid-April is the best time to split lotus root, when the temperature is suitable, the plant lotus root will not be frostbitten because of low temperature.

How to make the lotus spend the winter

I. the South

The winter temperature in the south is higher than that in the north, which can meet the growth needs of lotus, can survive the winter safely outdoors, and can be maintained normally in winter.

II. The North

The lotus usually begins to decay in September, and the leaves turn yellow and wither, leaving only the underground part. However, the temperature is low in winter in the north, and potted lotus is easy to frostbite if it is cultivated in the open air. Therefore, after the lotus withered in September, the dead leaves should be cut off immediately and stored artificially. There are generally three ways:

1. Indoor storage

The lotus cultivated by the family is seldom kept indoors for maintenance, but it can be kept indoors when the indoor temperature is between 0: 10 ℃ in winter. (the editor thinks there may be some problems. The temperature at home in winter is usually around 20 ℃. If you live in a building, you can move the lotus directly to the corridor windowsill, as long as the temperature is above 3 ℃, you can pass the winter safely.

2. Pool storage

Pool storage, this method is generally not suitable for families, parks or nursery bases. Before and after the "National Day", the pruned potted lotus is directly put into the pool, the water should be submerged in the flowerpot, and the underwater temperature in winter can be maintained at 0: 8 ℃. Water should be injected frequently to ensure the water temperature. When the temperature is too low in winter, the surface of the pool will freeze, and the lotus can survive the winter if it is placed under the ice.

3. Cold cellar storage

Families with the right conditions can store the lotus directly in a cold cellar. Generally from late October to early November, the treated lotus is put into a cold cellar, the temperature of the cold cellar should be kept between 0 ℃ and 8 ℃, and the basin soil should be kept moist so that it can pass the winter safely.

It turns out that the methods of letting the lotus winter in the south and the north are different. The temperature in the south is relatively high, and there is no need for any special means to help it through the winter, while the north needs to take some measures, such as indoor, pool, cold cellar storage, but no matter what way is used, it is to make it safely through the winter and see beautiful lotus flowers in the coming year.
