So how to choose the lotus seeds? What are the methods of raising seedlings? Next, let's have a look with the editor.

First, how to select lotus seeds?

The seeds of bowl lotus are so hard that they will go into dormancy after maturing and shrinking, and they can not germinate or rot if they are buried in the ground for hundreds or even thousands of years. If they are not treated with broken shells before sowing, it is almost impossible for them to germinate.

Choose a full bowl of lotus seeds, which protrude at one end and concave at one end. When breaking the shell, you can rub the small concave end on the rough cement floor or stone, wear it through, or make a small cut with pliers. Be careful, do not hurt the embryo during the operation, and do not remove the shell, just break the shell.

Second, what are the seedling raising methods of bowl lotus?

1. Planting time

The seeds of lotus can be planted all year round. Because the lotus seed has no dormancy period, when the temperature warms up to 16 ℃, the lotus seed can soak and sprout. If the bowl lotus is cultivated properly, it will grow flowers with a diameter of only about 5 centimeters, petite and exquisite, with outstanding grace. And then in its flowers and leaves to be pruned to make it sparse and dense, scattered, it will be a beautiful scenery.

2. Lotus seed treatment

The shell of lotus seed is hard and dense and must be artificially broken before soaking the seed. First of all, please distinguish between the two ends of the bowl lotus seed, one end is a small bulge, one end is a small concave point, to deal with the concave end. Take the small concave end, use a tool to make a cut, be careful not to pinch the embryo, nor can you remove all the shells.

3. Accelerating budding

Fill the water with a container that can hold water, and soak the treated seeds. The water must be completely over the seeds. If the temperature is low, soak in 30 degrees warm water in a thermos cup. In today's weather, the water temperature is generally 20 ℃-30 ℃, which is very suitable for germination. Remember to change the water once in the morning and evening, and it will sprout in about 5-7 days. After sprouting, put it in the sunny place to strengthen the light and not lack of water. When the fine roots and 2-3 young lotus leaves are grown, they can be distributed.

4. Transplanting

Don't think that the bowl lotus is planted in the bowl. It can also blossom in the bowl, but the bowl should be a big sea bowl, the soil should be fully mature fertiliser, and chemical fertilizer should be applied every 20 days. The selected lotus root should be small, and some extra-small varieties, which are only the size of the thumb, can be adapted in the bowl. Generally choose 18cm~30cm pottery pot without bottom hole or plastic flowerpot, add half a basin of pastoral soil or river and pond mud without chemical pollution, soak in water two weeks in advance, do not apply fertilizer. When transplanting, press the fine roots of the small lotus seedlings into the mud, one in each pot, and add appropriate amount of water after transplanting, so that the small lotus leaves are not submerged by water.

The above is the introduction of the bowl lotus, the lotus bowl lotus plant type is small, the leaves are large and round, the flowers are bright, and they are deeply loved by flower friends.
