How do lotuses reproduce?

How does the lotus reproduce:

1. Seed propagation (1) seed soaking: fully mature lotus seeds were collected from August to September and can be sowed from mid-April to June. Before sowing, break a small hole in the sunken end of the lotus seed to expose the seed coat, as long as it does not hurt the germ, it generally germinates in 3 to 7 days (if sown from July to August, although it can germinate, the temperature is high at this time, and after the sowing seedlings are planted, the young leaves are easy to scorch against the basin wall in the hot sun, but the growing period is short, it is difficult to bloom in that year, or even can not form a new lotus root). (2) the sowing seeds are sown in the fertile pond mud placed in the basin, and the thickness of the mud is 1 / 2 / 2 / 3 of the depth of the basin. When the soaked lotus seeds grow two or three young leaves, it is easy to sow, making the lotus seeds slightly higher than the mud.

The Culture method of Ling Arrow Lotus

1. Fertilization

Make the arrow lotus like fertilizer, so it is required that the basin soil is fertile and loose, the drainage and permeability is good, and the basin is changed every other year in spring or autumn. When changing the basin, remove part of the old soil and decaying roots, supplement the new culture soil, and put human bone powder as base fertilizer, and apply mature thin cake fertilizer every 15-20 days in the growing season. After the Spring Festival, liquid fertilizer was applied every 10 days, and excessive lateral buds and branches germinated from the base were erased in time, so as to reduce nutrient consumption and keep the plant type neat and beautiful. Apply 1-2 times more available phosphate fertilizer at flower bud stage to promote flower and bright color, and fertilization should be stopped in winter.

2. Watering

Make arrow lotus do not like flood, basin soil should always keep a little moist, every time after fertilization, should be timely watering and loosening soil. Watering during growth and development should be dry and wet, and avoid stagnant water in the basin, otherwise it is easy to rot roots and cause death. In general, the flower bud stage is only watered into 70% to 80% water, otherwise it is easy to cause falling flowers and buds. In dry windy spring and hot summer, it is often necessary to spray abnormal stems with clear water and sprinkle water on the ground around flowerpots to maintain relatively low air humidity to facilitate growth and flowering. Watering should be controlled in winter and should be kept properly dry, which is conducive to safe overwintering, because wet basin soil and low temperature can easily cause rotten roots.

3. Temperature

So that the arrow lotus is not cold-resistant, the northern region can be placed in a sunny place in the middle or late October. The temperature should be kept at 10-15 °C from November to March of the following year, and the abnormal stem with high temperature is easy to grow, which affects the plant type; from March to June, the temperature should be kept between 13 °C and 18 °C, which is too low to affect the pregnant bud; from June to November, the temperature should be kept at 20 °C to 25 °C. Hot summer should be properly shaded and ventilated to cool down.

4. Lighting

So that the arrow lotus should not be shot directly in bright light. In spring and autumn, it can be maintained in an outdoor sunny place, and in winter, it should be placed in a sunny place indoors. If the flowerpot is placed in the shade for a long time, it is easy to cause overgrowth, which is not conducive to flower bud differentiation and breeding flowers. If you add too much fertilizer and water, it will often cause abnormal stems to grow vigorously and not blossom. In summer, you should put it in a well-ventilated semi-shady place to avoid sun exposure, and avoid rain and strong light, otherwise it will cause abnormal stems to turn yellow and wilt when serious. In summer, you can also keep it indoors where there is scattered light, but you must often open the window to keep the air flowing. Under the condition of high temperature and humidity, poor ventilation is not only harmful to growth, but also prone to diseases, insects and even decay. Make the abnormal stem of arrow lotus soft, in order to maintain the beauty, it is necessary to set up a support in time.

5. Reproduction

It is recommended to use the cutting method, cut the full stem as cuttings after flowering, generally 6-8 cm, first dry for 1-2 days, then insert into the sand flowerpot when the cut is dry, then spray water and put it in a semi-cool place, it can take root and survive in about 1 month.

Matters needing attention of Ling Arrow Lotus

The main results are as follows: 1. Potted soil should be fully mature and rich in organic matter.

2, summer is the growing season, basin soil should be kept moist, do not accumulate water, so as to avoid rotting roots. Avoid strong light, can be cultivated in semi-shade, shelter from rain.

3. Topdressing rotten liquid fertilizer in autumn. Without enough nutrients, it is not easy to blossom or blossom less. Remove the shading equipment in autumn to enhance the light.

4. Move indoors and water less in winter and put it in a place with light to control its growth. If the room temperature is too high in winter, dense new buds often sprout from the base, which should be removed at any time so as not to consume nutrients and affect flowering after spring.

5. Spring is the season for the growth of buds, so it is not appropriate to water and fertilize too much so as not to cause buds to fall. Spray some water on the branches in the evening.

The above is the introduction of the methods of making arrow lotus culture, like the friends of arrow lotus, you can refer to the above culture methods, combined with the actual culture conditions, reasonable culture.

How to propagate the lotus flower, the propagation method of the lotus flower / mainly by cutting propagation

Baolianhua, also known as Baolian Lantern, is a common ornamental flower plant in people's life. Many people are raising it everywhere. With more and more people breeding Baolinhua, people are more concerned about its reproduction. How to reproduce Baolinhua? What are the breeding methods of Baolian flower? Next, the editor will take you to learn about it.

1. How to reproduce and cuttage propagation of Baolinhua

When it comes to how to reproduce the lotus, in fact, it is generally based on cutting propagation, in early spring, we can use last year's branches for old wood cuttings. In the late spring and early autumn, we can use the same year's branches for tender wood cutting, as for its specific cutting methods are described in detail below, let's take a look.

Second, the propagation method of Baolian flower

1. Matrix selection, good drainage

Before we carry on the cutting propagation to the lotus flower, we first need to choose the substrate, which is a step to lay a good foundation, which is very important. Generally speaking, it is best to choose loose and fertile rotten leaf soil or peat soil as the substrate. The drainage and air permeability of these two kinds of soil are good, and the nutrition is also very rich, so that the plant can grow healthily.

two。 Matrix disinfection, high temperature disinfection

After we have selected the substrate, we cannot disinfect it immediately, we also need to disinfect it. During disinfection, we can break it up and lay it out in the sun for exposure, or we can put it into an iron pot. Then turn on the fire to stir-fry, so that even if there are pests or bacteria lurking in the matrix, they will be killed because of the high temperature.

3. Selection of twigs, cutting in late spring or early autumn

Softwood cuttings are generally carried out at the end of spring or early autumn every year, we can select the sturdy branches of that year as cuttings, cut them off and choose the sturdy cuttings, then fry them into a section with 5-15cm length, each section must have 2-3 leaves, when cutting the cuttings, we must cut them at 2 cm away from the stem knot, and the upper and lower cuts should be smooth.

4. Hardwood selection, cutting in early spring

In the early spring of every year, the branches of that year have not yet grown, so if we want to cut, we need to choose the branches that were born last year. Generally speaking, it is best to choose the branches that grew strong last year as cuttings, so that the survival rate will be higher. And each cuttings usually retain 3-4 nodes, as for the way of cutting is suitable for twigs, the editor will not repeat it here.

5. Cutting method, rooting in 40-50 days

When we cut the lotus flower, we should first apply an appropriate amount of base fertilizer in the substrate, then cut a hole in the potted soil, then cut a hole in the potted soil, and then insert the cuttings into it. this method can avoid damage to the cuttings during insertion, which is very practical, and can take root in about 40-50 days.
