The sun-burnt flowers in moments grow wildly in the water, and the hotter the summer, the bigger the flowers!

Bowl lilies and water lilies

The lotus flowers we raise at home are mainly bowls of lilies and water lilies, which are of the right size and do not take up space. Among them, the bowl lotus is very similar to our common lotus, but it is a little small and can be planted directly in a water basin, and some flower friends raise it directly with foam boxes and bowls!

Water lilies are more special, the leaves will have a gap, often float on the surface, and the flowers will come out in more colors, in addition to the common red and white, but also yellow, orange, and blue-purple. It is best to raise water lilies in a larger water tank or foam box, so that they will look good in a full basin.

Steps of raising lotus

In fact, it is easier to raise lotus than to raise flowers. As long as you have sunshine in your home, you can raise flowers. Let's follow Huahua to try how to raise it. I'm sure you'll learn it as soon as you learn it.

1. The seeds are cut and soaked in water for 3-5 days.

The shell of the lotus seed is very thick. Cut off its pointed shell with a knife or scissors so that it can sprout faster and sprout after soaking in clean water for 3-5 days. Huahua would also like to remind everyone that the lotus seed must be an old lotus seed, and you should be careful not to buy the lotus seed of cabbage lotus, otherwise it will not blossom.

Change the water in 2, 1-2 days and wait for the buds to grow into small leaves.

After budding, lotus seeds can be placed in the sun and change water every 1-2 days. Note that tap water must be put for 1 day to use, otherwise too much chlorine will affect growth. In about 1-2 weeks, small leaves will grow and roots will emerge, which can be planted at this time.

3. Colonization

The soil for planting lotus is preferably paddy soil or ordinary soil. First sift fine, remove large particles, and then use boiling water for 1-3 times to sterilize. You don't need too much, and you can cover the seeds and roots (you can also miss a nod). It is best to plant one plant at a time, so that it can blossom more smoothly.

4. Maintenance

Lotus is not afraid of the sun, just put them in the sunny place at home, the sun grows faster and faster. Pay attention to adding water, the water had better be full, the water here must not use polluted fish pond water and so on, or use the tap water after drying. Usually, you can add some nutrient solution and compound fertilizer, and you can also spray some potassium dihydrogen phosphate to promote flowering before flowering.

The problem of raising lotus

1. Yellow leaves, scorched leaves

If the leaves of the lotus you raise are scorched and rotten, there may be less water, no change of water for a long time, poor water quality, too much fertilizer, too much burning, and too many crowded plants in the basin. We can compare the problems and see what the reason is.

If there are yellow leaves, scorched leaves and rotten leaves, first change the water, preferably dry the tap water for 1-2 days; remove the necrotic stems and leaves and let them grow again. After the new leaves grow out, you can add some nutrient solution.

2. Do not bloom

Some flower lovers complain that they blossom slowly or grow leaves but do not blossom. It is very likely that you have bought a vegetable lotus seedling from Suqian. If the seed is real, it will be easy.

First of all, to see if the light is enough, be sure to keep it in a sunny and ventilated place, add water in time, and the water should be full; if you want to promote flowers, you can add some compound fertilizer or potassium dihydrogen phosphate every week.

3. The problem of insects

As long as there is stagnant water in summer, it is easy to grow insects. In fact, from the beginning of soil sterilization to timely change and addition of water, keeping clean and hygienic can reduce the probability of insects, and it is also necessary to have ventilation. Without ventilation, it is difficult to raise any flowers.

If your lotus container is big enough, you can raise a few small mixed fish with solid skin. A small fish of 1-2 cm needs 1 liter of water to move around. You can calculate that it is OK to keep a few fish in the basin.

It is good to enjoy lotus in summer.
