Culture methods of lotus flower

When it comes to poached flowers, we naturally think of poached eggs. In fact, there is no connection between these two things, the purse flower is mainly distributed in South America, its flower shape is like a small purse, colorful and rich, is a very suitable for ornamental flowers. Today, the pro-agricultural network will bring you to know the culture method of lotus flower.

I. growth characteristics

First of all, I would like to introduce the growth characteristics of lotus, lotus likes cool and humid environment, can not bear high temperature or cold, lotus likes sunlight, but at the same time can not receive the baking of summer sun, so it should be shaded in summer. At the same time, lotus needs to grow in a well-ventilated environment, and the soil requirements are quite strict. Let's take a specific look at the cultivation methods of lotus flowers.

Second, the culture method of lotus flower

1. Soil

Lotus needs to grow in loose, well-drained sandy loam soil, and the soil permeability and nutrients are better, and a small amount of bone powder should be added as base fertilizer, and high temperature disinfection should be carried out before use.

two。 Temperature

The most suitable temperature for lotus flower growth is about 15 ℃. If the temperature is higher than 20 ℃, the growth and flowering of lotus flower will be affected to a certain extent. If the temperature is kept at about 10 ℃, the flowering period can be extended to a certain extent. At the same time, the night temperature and overwintering temperature of lotus flower growth can not be lower than 10 ℃.

3. Light

It was introduced earlier that the lotus flower is a kind of flower that likes light, and the length of light time determines the time before and after flowering. For example, if the daily light time increases by 3 hours after November, it may blossom at the end of January of the following year. Therefore, when planting, the shade of the lotus flower should reach 30% before October, and it should not be shaded between November and March of the following year. After March, it should be shaded again. If the light is too strong and there is no shading treatment, lotus flowers are easy to suffer from sudden collapse.

4. Moisture content

Drought will lead to poor plant growth, moisture will cause root rot, here to repeat the drainage of the soil must be good. In addition, do not dirty the leaves when watering, the leaves of lotus flowers are fluffy, and the leaves will rot after they are soiled. At ordinary times, you can sprinkle water around the flowerpot, which can increase the humidity of the air. Do not spray water on the flowers when blooming, so as to avoid affecting the fruiting.

5. Fertilizer application

Purse flowers like fertilizer, but do not apply thick fertilizer, the growth period can be fertilized every half a month, like watering, to avoid leaf pollution, if there is a situation of excessive growth of stems and leaves, you should stop applying fertilizer immediately.

The above is the pro-agricultural network to introduce to you about the lotus cultivation methods, I hope to bring you some help. Lotus flowers usually bloom in early spring, when there are very few flowers, coupled with the very bright color of lotus flowers, it can add some color to this season.
