Last Updated: 2024/11/05, This is a relatively small lotus species. Because of its small size and easy cultivation at home, many people will choose to cultivate such a potted plant as an ornamental plant at home. However, to cultivate this plant at home, it needs to be planted in the mud after its seeds germinate. This step has a huge impact on its flowering. So, how exactly do you do that?

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.
