Water lotus flower water culture or soil culture? What if its leaves are dry?

There are many kinds of lotus flowers, such as Qingling red lotus, friendship peony lotus, Fujian red lotus, Bai Jianlian, sword dance and so on. Today we are going to talk about water lotus, so water lotus or soil culture? What if its leaves are dry?

What is the water lotus? What is fancy language?

The water lotus is an endangered plant in the world, which is endemic to Taiwan. The native land of the world is only distributed in a small village in Longtan Township, Taoyuan County, Taiwan Province.

The flower language of the water lotus: a pure heart

The moral of the water lotus: it is regarded as a symbol of soul liberation and rebirth.

Second, water lotus flower water culture or soil culture? How to raise it exactly?

Water lotus is generally mixed with soil and water, and can be propagated by sowing and planting lotus root. The sowing method is to cut a mouthful of the seeds, then germinate in warm water, and wait for the seedlings to be planted in the soil. The method of planting lotus root is to take out the lotus root under the mother plant, cut the section of the lotus root, and then hide it in sand, and then replant it when the spring comes and the temperature gradually gets higher.

1. Planting environment

As a member of the Nymphaeaceae, it needs to be planted in the mud. Before planting, it is necessary to add some bottom fertilizer to the bottom of the basin, then fill the silt into the basin, and add 2-3cm water after filling. Generally use larger caliber flowerpots to maintain, can leave more space for floating leaves to receive light.

2. Sunshine

At the beginning of its growth, it needs plenty of sunlight, because this allows the temperature of the water surface to rise rapidly, which is conducive to the germination of the underwater part. After the floating leaves of the plant grow, more sufficient light is needed to produce the nutrition needed for the plant growth.

3. Moisture

It is maintained in water, so it does not need to be watered frequently, and when the water level in the basin drops, it can add some water. Pay attention to the need to keep moisture close to room temperature when adding water.

4. Fertilization

It is a kind of fertilizer-loving plant, so it is necessary to apply thin fertilizer frequently. Because its soil is underwater, tubular materials such as straws can be inserted into the soil, and then fertilizer can be added from the straw to the soil.

Third, what if the leaves of the water lotus are dry?

The main reasons for the dryness of water lotus leaves are as follows:

1. The light is not enough. Its normal growth process can not leave a certain care, if you put it in a dark area, and do not give it light for a long time, of course, its leaves will be wiped out.

Therefore, it is necessary to give sufficient light.

2. Lack of ventilation. If you put it in a poorly ventilated place at home, and if there is no airtight air, the O2 in the water will be quickly consumed and its leaves will turn yellow and dry.

Therefore, it should be placed in a ventilated place as soon as possible.

3. The temperature is too low. It likes a warm environment, if it is winter, the weather is too cold, it can not safely through the winter. When physiological activity slows down, the rate of nutrient absorption weakens, and its leaves dry, or even lose leaves to retain nutrients if the situation is serious.

Therefore, the ambient temperature of culture should be adjusted according to the situation.
