What are the planting methods of lotus? What should I pay attention to when planting lotus?

There are two ways to plant lotus, one is seed germination, the other is lotus root germination. When planting lotus, we should choose the right time to help the lotus survive. Try to choose a bigger flowerpot, properly fertilize and water it, and pay attention to weeding and farming in the later stage, so that the lotus can grow healthily and vigorously.

There are many ways to grow lotus flowers. Many people like to cultivate lotus flowers in different ways. Many people also grow lotus flowers at home, but many people don't know which method to plant them. In fact, seeds or lotus roots can be used for sowing and cultivation. When you choose to sow with seeds, you should pay attention to treating the seeds first, grinding a small hole in the concave of the seeds, soaking them in clear water, and new buds will grow in a week or so. At this time, it takes about two weeks to put the germinated lotus in water until it grows roots, and then transplant it into a new flowerpot.

Another method is to plant lotus roots. Insert the lotus root into the mud in the flowerpot at an inclination of 20 degrees, with the insertion depth of 3 cm and the end of the lotus root facing upward. Don't let the tail end touch the water. Put the cultivated lotus root in a place with strong sunlight to keep the mud in the basin moist. In another month or so, the lotus root will sprout new buds, and then gradually increase the amount of water in the basin.

When planting lotus, it is necessary to control the amount of water and ensure a good living environment. Generally choose to plant lotus in spring, about April-May, to avoid the low temperature is not conducive to lotus planting. Although lotus grows in silt, it has certain requirements for water quality. Lotus likes still water, so the soil should be thicker, the water should not flow too fast, the water depth is about one and a half meters, and the water quality is pollution-free.

At the same time, lotus likes sunshine, and it needs to be exposed to the sun for more than ten hours every day. At the same time, when planting lotus, there should be no fish in the water, otherwise the lotus will be eaten by fish. Different stages of lotus growth require different amounts of water. For example, you only need a little water at first, and then gradually increase the amount of water until the water level is controlled at about one meter to one and a half meters. Pay attention to the fact that water can't drown the lotus, and the lotus should be exposed.

Reasonable fertilization must be mastered in the process of lotus growth, which is beneficial to lotus growth. Planting lotus flowers must be timely and properly fertilized. In the early stage of lotus planting, fertilizer such as bean cake can be used as base fertilizer, and the fertilizer can be mixed with soil, and the ratio of fertilizer to soil is 1: 5, and the mixed base fertilizer can be placed at the bottom of the basin.

In the early stage of lotus cultivation, urea and other compound fertilizers need to be used for topdressing. Generally, topdressing should be applied when the lotus grows and emerges, and then fertilization should be applied when the lotus blooms and bears fruit. At this time, the fertilization frequency is more frequent. The flowering period of lotus is from mid-June to early August every year. During this period, fertilization can be applied frequently to promote flowering and fruiting, and topdressing should be done once every 20 days.

Weeds are not good for the growth of lotus, so they should be removed in time. In addition to the above points, we should also pay attention to the timely removal of weeds growing in the basin, and spray some weeding chemicals regularly every month to prevent weeds, moss, algae and other debris from growing in the basin.

If it is a lotus planted in a field pond, after 20 days of planting, when the lotus leaves grow to three or five pieces, turn over the soil in the pond to remove the grass in the soil, then turn over the soil every half month, and cultivate it for about three times until the underground roots cover the field pond. If you plant lotus in a pot, you can only use herbicides instead of turning over the soil.

As long as we follow the above methods and pay attention to the corresponding matters, we can cultivate healthy and beautiful lotus flowers. If you want the lotus to grow well, the later management is also very important. Give the lotus more sunshine and ensure the proper temperature, and you will find that it is a very simple thing to grow the lotus.
