Planting methods of potted lotus

1. Choose the lotus seed

First of all, you have to prepare several high-quality lotus seeds, you can plant as much as you want, and you can make soup and porridge if you buy too much. After buying lotus seeds, we need to distinguish the growth direction of lotus buds. The two ends of the lotus seed are not the same, one end has a small bulge, the other end has a small concave point, and the concave end is the direction in which the buds grow.

2. Prepare the flowerpot

The planting method of lotus seeds is different from that of ordinary flowers and plants. The cultivation of lotus flowers requires silt, which you can buy online or go to nearby lotus ponds to dig some. The flowerpot should be as large as possible and the diameter is more than 30 cm. If the flowerpot is too small, it may affect the flowering of the lotus, so we can only appreciate the leaves.

3. Deal with lotus seeds

Friends who have eaten the lotus seed all know that when the lotus seed gets old, the skin becomes very hard and it is difficult to peel it off. So we need to use some tools that can break the lotus seed. You can grind it with sandpaper or directly on the cement floor, or you can cut it slowly with a knife. But no matter which way you use, remember that you can't destroy the fruit in the lotus seed.

4. Soak and sprout

After opening the lotus seed, we need to soak the lotus seed in water, the soaked water should be over the lotus seed, change the water every morning and evening, usually within a week the lotus seed will grow new buds. During soaking, the skin of the seed can be cut off again to facilitate the emergence of buds. If the temperature is very low, it is necessary to raise the water temperature, because the lotus seed does not like the cold. So if the temperature is higher, the lotus seed will germinate faster.

5. Seedling and long leaves

After another 10 days, when the buds of the lotus seed grow to about 10cm, you will be ready to move the lotus seed to a pre-prepared flowerpot. Put the germinated lotus seeds into the mud, and then pour 2cm of water on the surface of the mud. Be sure to let the buds out of the water so that they can grow quickly. Under the condition of sufficient light, lotus leaves can grow in about a month.

Seed propagation: the concave end of the seed should be worn out on the rough ground from May to June every year, and then soaked and raised, the water should be changed frequently, the water should be kept clean, it will sprout in a week or so, and it will take root and transplant after two weeks of budding, one plant in each pot, the water layer should be shallow, and the lotus leaves should not be submerged in water.

When planting, the top of the lotus root is inserted at an oblique angle of 20 degrees along the edge of the basin, and the bowl lotus is about 5 cm deep. The large lotus is about 10 cm deep, the head is low and the tail is high, and the tail is half warped up to keep the end of the lotus root from entering water. After planting, put the pot in the sun to make the surface soil crack, so that the lotus root is completely bonded with the soil, then add a small amount of water, wait for the bud to grow, gradually deepen the water level, and finally maintain the water layer of 3-5 cm.

Planting methods of potted lotus

1. Variety selection: potted lotus should choose ornamental strains suitable for potted plants, such as Buddha seat, Chongtai, Bijiangxue, Dabilian, Yizhang Qing, Jiaolong San Variety, Shouxing Peach, West Lake and so on.

If you use a family water tank, because the height is on the high side, you can spread masonry at the bottom of the tank to make it shallow, the cylinder is too deep, and there are more frequent leaves and less flowers.

Culture and management of potted lotus

1. Soil quality management: Lotus requires fertile clay loam rich in humus, which affects the elongation of lotus root and the expansion of lotus root. Easy soil is vulnerable to wind damage and hinders the development of root system, which is not conducive to the growth of lotus. The soil is usually lake and pond mud, and it can also be mixed with 4 parts of garden soil, 3 parts of loess and 3 parts of sandy soil. PH6.5-7.5 is the best soil.

2, light management: the lotus likes strong light and receives 7-8 hours of light every day, which can make its buds more, flowers bloom continuously, do not cultivate in the shade, and indoor viewing can not exceed the same day when seeing flowers. The lotus in the family pot must be placed on the balcony or in the courtyard and move to a shady place at noon to avoid the scorching sun.

3. Temperature control: Lotus is very strict on temperature, generally 8-10 ℃ begins to sprout, 14 ℃ lotus root begins to elongate, 25-30 ℃ is the most suitable temperature for lotus growth and development, especially in rainy and sunny weather is more conducive to plant growth.

4. Rational fertilization: potted lotus plants usually apply 200-500 grams of chicken manure as base fertilizer according to the size of potted seven. A month after planting, you can put rotten bean cake water or liquid fertilizer based on human feces and urine once, with a concentration of 10%. After standing leaves, topdressing 1-2 times, and applying superphosphoric acid every 7 days.

5, water management: the temperature is high in summer, lotus is easy to lose water, add water 1-2 times a day, keep the water clean, if you find water dirty, change water. Late autumn and early winter, lotus into the dormancy period, do not often add water, only to keep shallow water.

6. pest control: the common lotus pests are aphids on floating leaves or small standing leaves and Spodoptera litura occurred from July to August, which can be sprayed with 1500-2000 times of 50% dimethoate emulsion or 2.5% of fish rattan essence.
