We all know that in the hot summer season, the lotus in the pond is particularly luxuriant. Raising lotus in a potted plant is a feeling closer to life. How to cultivate potted lotus? The following editor will introduce the techniques of potted lotus culture.

Lotus can be planted in a jar or in a pot. The size of the cylinder or basin should not be too large, the caliber is generally 55-65 cm, and the depth is 30-40 cm. How to raise lotus in vats or potted plants well, we should pay attention to the management of planting lotus root, watching water and topdressing.

Planting lotus root

In the pot or pot where the lotus is planted, first put 3/5 of the pond mud, and use rotten bean cake or peanut bran or dried pig shit as base fertilizer, then add a small amount of water to make a thin mud. The selected lotus root seed must be fresh and robust lotus root, each branch contains 3 nodes. With terminal buds. From March to April, the lotus roots are planted head and tail in the thin mud of the vats or pots, the buds of the internodes must be upward, do not break the buds, and the end of the lotus roots tilt out of the mud layer, do not add water within a week after planting, and maintain a certain degree of humidity. This makes it easy for the lotus root to sprout close to the mud. With the emergence of floating leaves and the growth of vertical leaves, water is gradually added to the tank or basin until the water is filled up finally.

Pipe water

Lotus is an aquatic flower, extremely intolerant of drought, especially in flowering, which is the hot season in midsummer. If you do not replenish water to the tank or basin in time, it will cause "dumb flowers". According to experience, it has been proved that the most important way to grow lotus is to keep the water clean. If the water is found to be dirty, change the clean water immediately.

Topdressing

Pot or pot lotus, limited by the tank or pot, the absorption of nutrients will be affected, the need for timely topdressing. Generally, one month after planting, topdressing can be done once, and when there are 1-2 standing leaves, topdressing should be done again. It is appropriate for fertilizer to use thin, mature human feces and urine. In the future, in the flowering period, it is best to apply liquid fertilizer once a week.

It is worth noting that the lotus can photosynthesize well only in sufficient light, so the jar or pot should be placed in a sunny and well-ventilated place, preferably to receive 7-8 hours of sunlight every day. In addition, in order to promote the lotus to blossom more, we should pay attention to cut off the residual flowers in time.

In addition, lotus requires fertile clay loam rich in humus. Excessive clayey soil affects the elongation of lotus root and the expansion of lotus root. The relaxed soil is vulnerable to wind damage and hinders root development, 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 sand. PH6.5~7.5 is the best soil.

Lotus likes strong light and receives 7-8 hours of light every day. Can make its buds bloom continuously, do not cultivate in the shade. You can't watch it indoors for more than three days when you see the flowers. Lotus open-air display is appropriate, the family pot lotus, must be placed on the balcony or in the courtyard.

In the pot or pot where the lotus is planted, first put into the Hutang silt of 3x5, then stir with a small amount of water to make a slimy shape, and then cut the three segments into one plant to keep the terminal bud, waist bud and tail bud intact. Generally, it is advisable to plant two kinds of lotus root in each jar or pot. It is not necessary to add water to the pot 3-5 days after planting, and only add a small amount of water when the mud surface is cracked, so that the seed lotus root is fastened in the mud to facilitate germination. With the emergence of floating leaves and the rise of temperature, the vertical leaves grow and gradually add water to the tank and basin to the mouth of the basin.

The lotus is cultivated in the pot, and the chicken manure in the range of 200g-500g is applied as tomb fertilizer according to the size of the pot. the lotus cultivated with this fertilizer has more flowers, colorful colors and higher lotus seed yield than the lotus cultivated with pig manure, cow manure and human manure as basic fertilizer.
