How to plant lotus seeds

Lotus seeds must be treated before planting, soaked in clear water after treatment, moved to sunny places after germination, and soaked in pot soil in advance. Transplanting should be carried out after the leaflets grow well. When transplanting, the fine roots of seedlings should be pressed into the soil and appropriate amount of water should be added. Don't go deeper than the lotus leaf. In addition, pay attention to the later maintenance.

Step 1: Choose the right lotus seeds.

To plant lotus seeds with lotus roots, we must first choose the appropriate lotus root varieties, which are healthy and harmless, and the terminal buds should be intact, cleaned and trimmed.

Step 2: Prepare the pot soil.

The flowerpot for planting lotus seeds is exquisite. First, there should be no holes at the bottom, and then it is generally between 30 and 60 cm, and the height is about 50 cm. This flowerpot is more suitable for putting baskets. If there is soil, you can dig some pond mud in the pond with lotus seeds, which is more conducive to the growth of lotus roots.

Step 3: Planting.

Tilt lotus seeds and lotus roots by about 30 degrees and bury them in the mud along the inner wall of the flowerpot. Remember to expose the tail end of lotus seeds and lotus roots out of the mud, and then add water to the place 3 ~ 5 cm away from the mud surface. When planting, the temperature should be above 65438 05℃, which is more conducive to the growth and reproduction of lotus root. If planted around April, it will grow leaves and blossom in midsummer.

Step 4: Reasonable maintenance

After planting lotus roots, always pay attention to the depth of water. When the leaves don't grow, we can keep the water depth at about 3 ~ 5 cm. If the lotus leaves are short of water, we need to add some water. We can keep the water depth around 16 cm, but we can't drown the lotus leaves. If there is less water, we can add it, and we can't let the mud dry. After that, it can be managed normally. When the temperature is suitable, it is generally above 16 degrees, and it only takes more than one month from planting to flowering. When the lotus root sprouts and grows lotus leaves, we can let the lotus leaves bask in the sun more, and then we wait for the lotus to grow and grow lotus seeds.
