Bluestone lotus planting soil to have two key points, the first is to fertility, the second is drainage.
It likes fertilizer itself, only the fertile enough planting soil can meet the needs of its growth and development, and support it to produce beautiful flowers with gorgeous colors.
It is afraid of waterlogging. Once waterlogging occurs in the soil, it will easily cause its roots to rot. therefore, it must not choose the planting soil with poor drainage capacity.
To sum up, Xiaobian recommends two kinds of planting soil collocation for you:
The first is peat, vermiculite and perlite, and add some bone powder.
The second is the mixture of 3 parts of sapropel, 3 parts of river sand, 1 part of garden soil and 1 part of slag.
In order to provide a good germination condition for its seeds, in addition to the well prepared planting soil, we should also make some efforts in some other aspects.
First of all, the temperature of planting, about 25 ℃ for planting can effectively increase its budding rate.
The second is disinfection of planting soil. Before sowing, stir fry in an iron pot or microwave the planting soil to kill most of the pathogens.
In addition, you can also use about 35 ℃ blister a bubble seeds, see the seeds after swelling can be used for planting
First of all, take some prepared planting soil in the flowerpot, fill 90% of the volume of the flowerpot, and arrange the soil surface.
After that, put the bottom of the flowerpot into the clear water, and make the water penetrate into the planting soil through the drain hole at the bottom of the flowerpot.
Because its seed volume is relatively small, it is not suitable to use the on-demand method but the method of sowing. The specific water is to mix the seeds with a small amount of fine sand and pour them in the middle of a piece of folded white paper, and then spread them evenly on the soil surface.
Then seal the flowerpot with fresh-keeping film to keep the humidity in the basin. Don't forget to leave a few holes on the plastic wrap for the seeds to breathe.
Finally, put it indoors, avoid direct sunlight.
After a few days, the germination rate of the seed is higher than 50%, then the film can be removed.
