How to cultivate lotus at home? How can we feed?

0 1, it is best to use humus soil or lake mud to raise lotus at home, and lotus is easy to raise. First of all, lotus is an aquatic plant, which can be planted with water and thin humus soil or lake mud, so it should be planted in shallow pots or tanks, such as porcelain, pottery or plastic pots. Be careful not to choose flowerpots with holes in the bottom. The opening of the container should be as large as possible, because its mosaic area is large and it can fully receive sunlight.

In addition, the soil for raising lotus flowers at home needs to be fertile and loose. Give it 8 hours of light every day, and don't be directly exposed to the sun in summer. At the same time, the temperature should be kept at 25-30℃, and the key point is to take preventive measures as soon as possible after discovering pests and diseases. Also pay attention to the amount of water, don't miss the new shoots, and moisturize and keep warm in the later stage, and get more sunshine. Only when the environment is right can you grow leaves faster.

02. Breeding potted lotus by dividing lotus roots. If the propagation is divided into lotus roots, the mud in the basin should be pasty before planting. When planting, the top of lotus root is inserted into the mud at an angle of 20 degrees along the pot edge, and the depth of the pot lotus is about 5 cm. If there is space, you can use a large flowerpot. Lotus and lotus root grow together. Lotus root will not blossom if it has no place to climb. Lotus flowers need to be directly exposed to the sun for more than eight hours before they can bloom. The hotter the weather, the more they bloom.

Generally, in April when the temperature is above 20 degrees, a lotus root is placed horizontally on the wet mud with the thickness of 10- 15 cm, and then covered with the mud with the thickness of 10 cm. If you want clean water, you can spread a layer of sand and then put 10-20 cm thick water. After about a week, the lotus leaf will be exposed until it grows out of the water in Gao Yu. Add water every few days so that there is water in the basin.

In addition, according to the size of pot seven, 200-500g chicken manure is usually applied as base fertilizer. After planting for one month, liquid fertilizer with the concentration of 10% can be applied once. Apply 1-2 times after the leaves stand, and apply calcium superphosphate every 7 days at flowering stage.
