I. planting methods

1. Select basin soil

The flowerpot for planting lotus root is different from the general flowerpot. It needs to be able to store water. The bottom of the flowerpot must not leak, preferably a water tank or stone trough. And the flowerpot had better be larger, because the lotus root grows very fast, the flowerpot is too small to satisfy its growth and reproduction.

two。 Lotus root selection

It is much more convenient to breed with lotus root than with lotus seed, and it can grow stems, leaves and flowers faster and better. If planted well, it can grow leaves and blossom that year. When selecting lotus roots, try to choose lotus roots that are intact and have lotus root buds. Wash them before planting and wait for backup.

3. Potted mud production

As for the basin soil, it is best to go to the pond to dig some uncontaminated silt, if there are no conditions, soak the garden soil with water. This method needs to be made with a mixture of garden soil and base fertilizer, and after the mixing is completed, it needs to be soaked in water for half a month before it can be used, so that the basin mud will be more nutritious and suitable for lotus root growth.

When we are ready together, we can plant lotus roots. When planting, put the lotus root bud upward, all the other parts can be submerged into the basin mud, and then add enough water, the amount of water should run through the mud 3-5cm, so that the planted lotus root can grow stems and leaves faster. This is the planting method of potted lotus root. If it is cultivated well, it will be able to blossom that year.

The growing season of lotus root is the middle of summer. After all, domestic lotus root is a potted plant, so it is necessary to control the amount of water in the flowerpot. Must not let lotus root dehydration in the summer, if the waterline close to the basin mud will add water in time. In the rainy season, we must be careful not to let stagnant water submerge lotus leaves, for a long time will cause the leaves to rot.

two。 Plenty of light.

Lotus leaves are very fond of the sun, there is no problem with the hot sun in the middle of summer, as long as there is enough water, there is no need to worry about being sunburned to death. So usually put the lotus root pot in a sunny place, the peak growing season should receive at least 4 hours of light every day, so that the lotus leaves can grow normally, otherwise they will turn yellow and wither.

3. Suitable temperature

Generally speaking, the most suitable temperature for lotus growth is 25: 35 ℃, so there is no problem to put it in the hot sun, and it will grow quickly. Remember not to put the pot in a shady place, which not only does not provide the right temperature for growth, but also makes the plant branches and leaves grow and will not blossom.

4. Regular fertilization

When preparing potted mud, base fertilizer has been added, and after the lotus root leaves grow out of the water, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied every half a month, which can promote the fatness and fullness of flowers and leaves. As the flowerpot can not be drained, it is necessary to control the dose of fertilization, if excessive may lead to the death of the plant.
