Water lilies and bowl lilies

Domestic lotus flowers are mainly water lilies and bowl lilies, which are very easy to distinguish. The leaves of water lilies generally float on the surface, with a V-shaped gap.

The bowl lotus is more like a pocket lotus, which is easy to stand upright and has oval leaves.

The florescence of water lilies and bowl lilies is from June to September, when it is extremely hot. Think about it. A touch of fresh lotus under the summer sun is really refreshing!

Method of raising lotus

To tell you the truth, compared to what grass flowers, wood flowers, lotus is too easy to raise, flower hands teach you to plant, once let you addictive!

1. Distinguish lotus seeds

The lotus seed is actually the old lotus seed, which has a small bump at the head and no bump at the tail.

2. Peel off the shell of the head

Peel off the hard shell of the lotus seed with tools such as nail Clippers.

Peel it down like this, it's faster and more convenient to sprout!

3. Soak in water to accelerate sprouting

Find a small bowl, soak in water and put it in a cool place (now the temperature is above 20 degrees)

You can see green buds in about three days. I can't help but pick it up and have a sense of achievement.

Continue to soak in the water, the bud will break out in 5-7 days, and it will grow to about 8 cm in 10 days.

During this period, you can drop some nutrient solution in the water to accelerate the growth and development of the buds. In about 20 days, some young leaves stretch out into an oval shape, which is ready to be put on the pot.

4. colonize the upper basin.

The cultivation of lotus is generally half soil and half water, the soil ensures the nutritional needs of lotus, and the water ensures the moist environment that lotus needs.

Just choose the sticky ordinary soil, first bask in the sun, then pour boiled water to sterilize and dry.

The dried soil is placed in a flowerpot and planted with seeds at a depth of about 3-5 cm.

If the soil is not sticky enough and spreads easily in water, you can cover the soil with a layer of sand. The sand had better be washed and sterilized with boiled water or carbendazim.

Pour clean water, the water depth is about 5-7 cm, turbidity is normal

It will be much better after 2-3 hours of precipitation.

5. Daily maintenance

Light: Lotus likes light, sufficient light can ensure the growth temperature, so no matter how the sun is not afraid

Water quantity: the water depth during the seedling period is 5-7 cm, which ensures the breathing of the seedling. As the lotus grows, the water content should be increased slowly, and the mature seedling should be kept at a depth of 8-12 cm.

Fertilization: compared with other flowers, lotus does not require much fertilizer. Just add crushed peanut shells to the soil before flowering.

All right.
