How to plant lotus flowers

When lotus is cultivated, it should be kept sunny and provide a warm environment of 20 ~ 30℃. In its germination period, the temperature should be controlled between 8 ~ 10℃, and fertilization should be done every 2 ~ 3 weeks in summer to keep the water level below the leaves and carry out pest control. Usually, it can propagate through seeds or underground stems.

1, full-day maintenance

How to raise lotus flowers

On the question of how to raise lotus, we should provide it with sufficient light, let it get sufficient sunshine maintenance, let lotus fully absorb light for photosynthesis, promote it to form many buds, and let lotus grow healthily, blossom and bear fruit. If you don't accept full sunshine, let it have more than 7 hours of sunshine.

2. Warm environment

The growth of lotus needs high temperature. The temperature in the germination stage should generally be controlled at about 8 ~ 65438 00℃. When the lotus enters the normal growth state after germination, the temperature should be controlled at 20 ~ 30℃ to avoid low temperature environment and make it flourish.

3. Water and fertilizer management

Lotus grows vigorously in summer. At this time, more fertilizer should be applied, and the fertilizer should be diluted for about 2 ~ 3 weeks to make it grow better. Moreover, it should be noted that the water level should not be too high and lower than the leaf surface during cultivation to avoid leaf rot. Drainage should be done well in rainy season.

4, pest control

Lotus growing in water is vulnerable to pests and diseases. Too turbid water will breed bacteria and make them suffer from diseases such as leaf blight and rot. It is necessary to cut off its diseased leaves, and then spray the corresponding disinfectant to prevent and control it, so as to promote the healthy growth of the lotus.

5. Breeding method

Usually in breeding, lotus seeds are propagated, ground, soaked in water, germinated and rooted and transplanted. You can also choose to carry out underground stem propagation, bury the rhizome of lotus root in the soil, add appropriate amount of water, and keep it in a ventilated and sunny place until it germinates.
