How to raise lotus flowers

1. Culture environment

(1) Water quality: water quality has a great influence on plant growth, and the water with too high iron content can not be used. You can choose river water, lake water, well water and so on.

(2) Illumination: very fond of light, it is necessary to provide full light environment, especially in the growth period.

(3) temperature: the best growth period is between 22 and 32 degrees. Not very resistant to low temperature, we should pay attention to it in winter.

(4) soil: the most important requirement is that there is a lot of humus and fertile soil.

(5) ventilation: the plants like the environment with good ventilation, and the plants cultivated outside like the breeze.

2. Depth of container and water

First of all, the appropriate container can be selected according to the specific size of the plant. Another requirement is water conservation and durability. You should also pay attention to the depth of the water. When you first plant, the depth should not be too large, just three to five centimeters. As the plant grows slowly, the water depth can be controlled at about ten centimeters. In autumn and winter, the plant is going to enter a dormant period, so there is no need to add water often.

3. Methods of reproduction

(1) seed propagation: break the seed coat, and then soak the seeds to raise seedlings. Ensure good water quality and change water frequently. The temperature is about fifteen degrees. It can sprout in about a week. It can take root after two weeks and can be transplanted at this time. Be careful that the water is not too deep and do not dip the leaves in the water.

(2) Underground stem propagation: prepare 10 cm thick silt and bury the rhizome. After that, expose it to the sun and add a small amount of water. When the buds grow, you can add water, about three to five centimeters.
