How to grow bowl lotus? Detailed explanation of the planting method of bowl lotus

Not long after the passing of the Beginning of Summer in the 24 solar terms, the hot temperatures came in bursts of heat. And this is also a good time to grow bowl lotus. I believe that many flower friends must have raised a bowl of lotus experience, but for a long time, the leaf growth is not very good, and basically can not see it bloom. Don't worry, today the editor of Huinong Network will teach you how to plant a good bowl lotus.

Seed treatment

The first and most critical step in our planting bowl lotus is to break the shell of the seed. This is because the shell of the lotus seed is hard and dense. After the seed is fully ripe and dried, the water and air are not easy to penetrate, and the respiration is very slow. In a state of forced dormancy, the seeds must be broken before they germinate.

One section of the lotus seed is a small tip, and the other end is concave. We need to rub the concave end on the rough ground or break a small opening with pliers. We must be careful when dealing with it to avoid pinching the germ.

Soaking seeds to accelerate germination

Find a container of the right size and soak the treated seeds in warm water. Pay attention to the cleanliness and temperature of the water. Too high and too low are not conducive to seed germination. Change water frequently, usually 2-3 times a day, and it is most appropriate to control the water temperature at about 20-30 degrees.

In this growth environment, seeds usually sprout in about 3 days. If the seed has not germinated after a week, then it may be a bad species, and the probability of germination is small, so we can soak a few more seeds.

After a few days, we can peel the shell of the budding lotus seed to half of the lotus body, which is more convenient for the buds to drill out, and remember not to peel off all the shells.

Hydroponic seedling cultivation

After the seeds sprout, the seedlings should be cultured in water under the condition of about 25 ℃, about five days. In the process of hydroponic breeding, we should keep the water layer about 10 cm deep and give sufficient light. At this time, you do not need to change the water all the time, and do not turn it with your hands. Flower friends who are busy should pay attention.

When the root of the petiole grows white and healthy, it means that the seedling is almost done and can proceed to the fourth step.

Seedlings into the mud

This is the most critical step in growing bowl lotus. Many flower lovers think that water lilies can be hydroponically cultivated and do not need to grow in mud, which is wrong and is an important reason why water lilies do not grow well and do not blossom.

When a bowl of lotus grows, we generally choose pond mud as the best choice. Find a larger container, put the pond mud in and add water, and mash the large pieces of pond mud with tools. Put the lotus seeds in a container, all the seeds should be buried in the pond mud, so that the leaves stretch freely on the surface of the water. The bowl lotus likes the light, only receives the sufficient light, this is beneficial to its growth.

It is not suitable for too strong light at this time, it will burn the seedlings. Don't water too much to raise the temperature of the water and promote growth. When we water, we must not directly inject water, this will wash away the lotus seed, you can cover it with your hands and slowly inject it along the wall of the container.

The root system of bowl lotus will grow rapidly in the mud, and it is also excellent to watch it at this time, which can add a sense of green to the hot summer. As long as adequate light and care are given, the bowl lotus will blossom soon.

The above is the detailed explanation of the bowl lotus planting technology arranged by the editor of Huinong net. Have you learned all about it? If you want to know more about planting techniques, please follow Huinong School!

The planting method of bowl lotus is different from that of ordinary flowers. Because the seeds of bowl lotus are relatively hard, they need to be treated with broken shells. I remember an article said that the seeds of ancient lotus flowers were found in a lotus pond. And you can see how strong the protective ability of the seed shell is! We analyze how bowl lotus is planted step by step. Detailed explanation of the planting method of bowl lotus (2)

The third cloth began to raise seedlings by hydroponic culture. After the seeds emerged, the seedlings should be cultured in water for 5-7 days under the condition of about 25 ℃. During the period of hydroponic cultivation, the root absorption of lotus seedlings is weak, and their growth mainly depends on seed embryos to provide nutrients, and generally does not need fertilization. In the process of hydroponic cultivation, the depth of the water layer should be kept at about 10 cm, and sufficient light should be given; it is not appropriate to change water or turn frequently, so as to avoid excessive elongation of leaves due to frequent changes in their growth direction; petioles should be kept in water and leaves spread freely on the surface of the water. When the first leaf is released and the second leaf is about to release and grow white roots, it can be planted.

The fourth step is to plant. When the buds grow to 10CM or so, they can be transplanted. According to the needs of bowl lotus planting, choose the soil into the flower bowl, put in the water, and mix the soil and fertilizer evenly. After the muddy water is clarified, the water-cultured seedlings are planted in the center of the flower bowl, with all the seeds in the mud, so that the leaves can stretch freely on the surface of the water. When transplanting, it should be noted that the petiole should not be broken so as not to affect the growth. Keep 3-5 cm water layer after planting, but do not submerge the leaves. The bowl of lotus likes the light, and the flower bowl should be placed in a place with plenty of sunshine. The seedlings are delicate and some will scorch when the sun burns, but they will generally sprout and survive. Don't water too much to raise the temperature of the water and promote growth. Standing leaves can appear after 7-13 floating leaves are grown. Generally speaking, multi-flowered varieties can appear buds after growing 5-17 standing leaves. The bud appears sooner or later, depending on the variety, and some varieties bloom before the standing leaves grow.
