The bowl lotus is beautiful, refined and lovable! How to plant in the mud?

Wanlian is a relatively small kind of lotus. Because of its small shape and easy to breed at home, many people will choose to breed such a plant as an ornamental plant at home. So how to plant lotus in the mud?

1. Seed treatment

First, put the seed that is ready to be used to raise seedlings in water above 10 degrees for about 10 days, and slowly it will sprout leaves. We can observe it every day, and when it has two leaf buds and a core, it can be planted in the mud.

2. Preparation of basin soil

Because at this time, its leaf buds are still relatively young, we do not need to find a large container to load it, we can first use a smaller one, and then change to a container that is relatively suitable for it when it grows bigger. Disposable teacups or disposable bowls can be used, but the container must have a shading effect, because the roots of this plant are very sensitive to light and cannot be exposed to light. In terms of soil, the requirement is not high, so you can choose pastoral soil or even the soil in the flower beds in the community. Needless to say, fertile pond soil must be used. If the soil is too fertile, it will burn roots.

3. Enter the mud

First put the soil into the prepared container and pile it up to about three or four centimeters thick. Then we can press a small hole in the middle of the soil with our fingers, put the root of the plant in the small hole, and then bury the root of the plant with the surrounding soil.

4. Moisture

After fixing the plant, you can pour water into it. The addition of water is not too much, it can probably spill 2 to 3 centimeters of mud layer, this way can keep warm, and can make the plant grow faster.

5. Lighting

After replenishing the water, put it in the sun, after shining, it can quickly grow a lot of roots, but also quickly grow leaves.

In the process of maintenance and management in the later stage, potted lotus should not be in a state of lack of water, otherwise the plants are prone to scorched edges and withered yellow leaves. After all, the leaves of bowl lotus are very large, and plants often need to consume a lot of water to support their large leaves to remain evergreen and to ensure the smooth blooming of flowers. Therefore, timely hydration is very important for potted lotus to maintain normal growth.

But as a family ornamental pot cultivation, in order to maintain the beauty of the pot, after planting a bowl of lotus, you can cover the basin with a layer of pebbles, which helps to keep the water quality clear to the bottom. At the same time, it is also necessary to salvage water moss and algae plants in time to keep the water surface in the basin clean and avoid breeding various germs and infecting plants.
