Planting conditions of Lotus Fruit

Lianwu, also known as Yangpu peach, its shape is pear-shaped or conical, fleshy bright red, nutritious, as well as heat-clearing, diuretic and sedative effect. it has therapeutic effect on cough and asthma and has been planted in Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan. It is only planted in these areas because it has certain conditions for the planting environment. Let's take a look at the planting conditions of lotus fog.

1. Temperature

Lotus fog is a fruit tree that likes warm and afraid of cold. Its growth temperature is between 25 and 30 degrees, which requires that there is no frost phenomenon in winter, otherwise the low temperature will cause frost damage to it, and the lowest temperature when planting should not be lower than 8 degrees. If it is lower than 8 degrees, there will be frost damage to flowers and fruits, which will lead to death in serious cases. Under this condition, many areas of our country cannot be planted.

2. Lighting

Nelumbo nucifera likes the environment with sufficient light. Growing in the environment with sufficient light can promote the rapid growth of branches and the accumulation of nutrients. Long light time is conducive to lotus blossom and bear fruit. In the place where the annual sunshine duration is 2000-2500 hours, the lotus flower grows well, which not only accumulates more nutrients, but also has good quality and high yield. Although the lotus mist likes light, it is also shady, but do not come into contact with strong light in the fruit, otherwise the fruit will wither or crack, so try to leave some branches and leaves in the late growth period to have a shading effect.

3. Moisture

Nelumbo nucifera is afraid of both drought and stagnant water in its growth. It is more suitable to grow in areas with annual precipitation of 1500-2000 mm. In addition, the demand for water varies at different growth stages. The demand for water is more in the vegetative growth period, but less in the later stage of fruit development. Drought and water shortage or overcast and rainy water will cause fruit drop during fruit ripening. If it is too dry and then suddenly rains in the early stage of fruit development, it is very easy to crack fruit and cause diseases and insect pests. Therefore, in the planting of lotus fog, it is necessary to do a good job of drainage and irrigation measures to ensure that it can be irrigated and drained in time.

4. Soil

Lotus fog is not strict on planting soil, sand, clay or slightly acidic and alkaline soil can be planted, but it grows best in slightly acidic soil or neutral soil with deep soil layer, loose and fertile soil and good drainage, and the number of results is also more.

5. Wind

Keeping the breeze flowing during planting can speed up the exchange of gas in the orchard, increase the photosynthesis and nutrient accumulation of the plant, enhance the disease resistance of the plant, and reduce the harm of diseases and insect pests to it. In Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and other areas, there is a typhoon climate every year, so it is necessary to take good windbreak measures when planting, and it is best to build a good protective forest.
