It blossoms at the height of summer and is decorated in front of the window, balcony and foyer. So what is the breeding method of arrow lotus? let's take a look at it.

Pot-changing Management of the Culture method of Ling Arrow Lotus

It is necessary to change the basin every two years, and the time to change the basin is spring and autumn. Good basin soil is required when changing the basin. Generally speaking, the basin soil should be mainly sandy soil, and then supplement an appropriate amount of nutrient soil, that is, rotten leaf soil 4 points, compost soil 2 points, garden soil 3 points and sandy soil 1%. After mixing, it can be moved into the newly cultivated soil. Never get rid of the decaying roots and part of the old soil when changing the basin.

Fertilizer and Water Management of the Culture method of Ling Arrow Lotus

Make the arrow lotus in the fertilizer and water management should pay close attention to the growing season every ten days and a half months for a thorough fertilization, but must not be thin. Fertilization can be slightly increased at budding stage to promote flower growth. Watering and loosening the soil in time in the process of fertilization, and drying and wetting at the same time is an important principle for the management of fertilizer and water. Therefore, the phenomenon of stagnant water must be avoided in the basin, otherwise it will lead to the phenomenon of rotten roots. Watering 70% to 80% is the key point of management. Then in spring and summer, watering needs to be sprayed to maintain air humidity, while after winter, watering should be controlled and fertilization should be stopped.

Temperature Control of Culture method of Ling Arrow Lotus

The growth habit of arrow lotus has an important place, that is, it likes light and is not resistant to cold. Therefore, after winter, the temperature will be controlled. Generally speaking, the temperature of 10 to 15 degrees Celsius is the most suitable for its growth. If the temperature is too high, it will affect the growth of stems and leaves, and if the temperature is too low, it will affect the growth of buds.

Bud stage Management of the Culture method of Ling Arrow Lotus

During the bud period, the watering amount of arrow lotus needs to increase, and the intensity of fertilization should be increased at the same time. Keep the basin soil slightly wet at all times. Normal lighting also needs to be maintained for 5 to 6 hours. In addition, it should be noted that the temperature should not be too low, otherwise it will affect the growth of buds, keeping the temperature between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius is the most suitable for its growth. In addition, during the budding period, in order to ensure an adequate supply of nutrients for buds, branches and leaves can be trimmed to ensure the supply of nutrients.

Disease and pest control of the culture method of arrow lotus

Stem rot, root-knot nematode and brown spot are common diseases of arrow lotus. Root-knot nematode can be sprayed with 1000 times of 80% dibromochloropropane EC or 1000 times of carbendazim wettable powder.

This is the end of the introduction of the breeding method of the arrow lotus. The above picture of the arrow lotus is very good, which can create a good environment for the courtyard and set off the warm smell of spring. I hope you can understand this kind of plant, raise one or two pots after decoration, and let it play its due charm.
