How to plant lotus flowers

Lotus fruit color bright, juicy sweet, is hot in recent years, many people love the fruit. It is also rich in nutrients such as protein and vitamins, which have great benefits for the human body, with a little apple fragrance. With the gradual rise of the market for wax apples, demand is increasing and the planting area is also increasing. But many friends don't know how to plant it, so today Xiaobian brings you the planting method of lotus fog. Let's take a look below!

1. Seedling

Wax lotus planting first needs to be carried out seedlings, there are three ways of wax lotus seedlings, layering, cuttage and grafting. At present, the main seedling methods are layering and grafting. The layering should select healthy branches that have grown for at least three years and be carried out under high temperature and rainy weather every summer. First select a good diameter of about 3 cm branches for peeling, and then mix with moist soil and chopped grass to form your ball, with a rope tied up at both ends. After about a month, new roots will grow where they were peeled, and after three months, you can start transplanting. Grafting propagation with 1-2cm seedlings as rootstock, and then with about two years of enriched branches scion, no matter when can be grafted, but in spring and autumn survival rate is relatively high.

2. Construction of gardens

Orchards should be chosen in fertile, deep, moist acidic or neutral soils. Orchard area is large, it is best to set up a pedestrian path in the orchard to facilitate the management during planting, and the irrigation and drainage system in the orchard should be well done to cope with high temperature, drought, water shortage and rainy ponding weather in time. Then, a septic tank and a pond are established outside the orchard for fertilization and watering. If conditions permit, a management system integrating fertilizer and water can be established, which can manage orchards more conveniently and make fruit trees grow better.

3. Land preparation

After the orchard has been established, the soil should be tilled and leveled to remove debris, stones and some grass before transplanting seedlings. After tilling the soil, expose it to the sun for a week to disinfect the soil to reduce germs and parasites, and then level the soil. If the orchard is established on a hillside, it cannot be planted directly with a pull line when planting lotus mist. The hillside should be built, preferably into a trapezoidal field for later management.

4. Base fertilizer

Planting lotus mist needs to dig holes in the orchard, determine the row spacing according to the size of the plants, and then start digging holes. The distance between holes is generally 1*0.8*0.8 meters. After digging, it will be exposed to the sun for about 30 days. The purpose is the same as above, through the sun's high temperature and ultraviolet rays, will kill bacteria and parasites in the soil, reduce the source of disease. Before planting, base fertilizer is applied, and farm manure, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus fertilizer and compound fertilizer are mixed and stirred together into holes. Then cover it with a layer of rare earths, and it can be planted in three weeks.

5, planting

Planting time is generally selected in spring and autumn, to reasonably control the planting density, according to the size of the tree, generally 4*4m row spacing. To ensure that the tree early yield and survival rate. When the lotus fog production reaches the peak period, the orchard is shaded, and then thinned to maintain the yield per mu at about 20 plants. Ensure the final yield and quality of lotus fog. When planting, it is best to step on the seeds while planting. It is best to pull out the seedlings by hand. However, it is necessary to avoid letting the seedlings touch the base fertilizer to prevent rotten roots and affect the survival rate. If dead seedlings are found, they should be replenished in time.

The above is a brief introduction to planting lotus mist. The planting of lotus mist has recently become popular. Many people may not have heard of this fruit, but they may have eaten it. Lotus fog contains very rich nutrients, planting is also relatively simple. However, everyone must carefully observe after planting, check the growth of seedlings, whether they survive, otherwise it will affect their own economic interests. I hope I can help you.
