Can bowl lotus be kept completely in water all the time?

It is obvious to all that the ornamental value of bowl lotus is very high. As an aquatic plant, bowl lotus is very suitable for water culture, but it is generally in the state of upper water and bottom soil, so it is easier to raise it well. So, can bowl lotus be raised completely in water all the time without soil? Perhaps this is a question that many friends are thinking about or have thought about.

As for the question of whether bowl lotus can be raised entirely with water instead of soil, we also scored the situation. If there is only water in the basin without any matrix and embellishment, it is usually not easy to raise. This is not because there is no soil and can not get nutrients to maintain growth, this problem can be solved by using nutrient solution.

Mainly because the root system of bowl lotus is protected from light, original and when there is no soil at the bottom of the basin, the root of bowl lotus is also easy to float in the basin, and the whole plant floats around like duckweed, and the root can not be fixed all the time. If its roots are exposed to light or contact with air, they tend to wither until they die.

If you look at it from this point of view, bowl lotus is usually not suitable to be raised entirely with water all the time. Therefore, if we want to keep the bowl lotus growing normally in pure water, we should fix its roots on the one hand and get sufficient nutrients from the water on the other hand. Another aspect is to avoid the roots from being exposed to light and to avoid contact with air.

As for the first aspect of treatment, we can put a few pebbles at the bottom of the container to fix the root; for the second aspect, we can use nutrient solution to solve the problem of nutrient supply; for the third aspect, we can avoid light treatment on the root. If everyone can handle the work in these three aspects properly, they can generally use water all the time.

However, after all, the pure water culture environment of bowl lotus can not be compared with the conservation environment of upper water and lower soil, so the ornamental value of bowl lotus raised by pure water is naturally not as good as that of soil and water. Whether it is the growth or flowering effect of bowl lotus, it often fails to catch up with the coexistence of soil and water. It is mainly due to the coexistence of soil and water to raise bowl lotus, which can make the roots grow better in the soil, the growth of plants is more exuberant, and the flowering is naturally more large and bright.
