How to raise lotus at home

1. Planting steps

(1) prepare the soil and expose it to the hot sun, which can be disinfected.

(2) put the sun-dried soil in a container, put in about 2/3 of the soil at the top, and pour in clean water before stirring.

(3) after stirring, add water, about five centimeters across the soil.

(4) bury the lotus root in the soil and wait for it to grow.

2. Maintenance methods

(1) Water: as we all know, this kind of plant is aquatic, so it can't leave water all the time. In the early stage, the water layer can be controlled at about three centimeters. Don't go too deep, or the temperature of the soil will be too low. In addition, in summer, there is no shortage of water in the container. In winter, the water can be a little less, but it also needs to be kept relatively moist.

(2) Fertilizer: plant growth is inseparable from nutrients. If the soil contains more nutrients, then there is no need to use fertilizer. If not, then we can apply some, mainly phosphorus and potassium, with nitrogen as the assistant. It can be used in a variety of ways, including rotten cake fertilizer and animal feces. In addition, we need to pay attention not to apply too much, but also need to mix well with the soil. In addition, if the leaves turn yellow or fall, you can mix the urea into the soil, make a ball, and then put it on the soil layer in the middle of the container, and you can see the effect in about a week.
