In fact, seed reproduction is the most commonly used method in family lotus planting. The specific method is relatively simple. As long as the seeds are soaked in water and often changed into water, they can germinate in a week or so, and take root in two weeks, and then they can be transplanted. When transplanting, pay attention to the shallow water layer, the lotus leaf should be exposed outside, with a little maintenance, it can bloom in that year!
The premise of lotus breeding is that you have an adult lotus. Mid March to mid April is the best time to separate lotus root. The temperature is suitable at this time, and the lotus root will not be frostbitten because of the low temperature.
Before planting, prepare the soil, mix the basin mud into paste, do not add any fertilizer, and put it in reserve. (Xiaotu University asked, want to know how to prepare soil, see what soil potted lotus uses.)
Take the prepared lotus root out of the soil, properly clear the silt and the aged rootstock on the edge, and properly wash it with water.
When planting, hold the top of the lotus root, and insert the mud at a 20 degree angle, with the tail cocked up, so as not to let the tail water in. For small varieties, the depth is 5cm. The depth of large lotus is about 10 cm.
After planting, it is directly exposed to the sun. When the soil on the soil surface is slightly cracked, add a small amount of water, and properly increase the water content to 3-5cm after germination of lotus root. Like the lower temperature area in the north, it can be wrapped with plastic film to increase the temperature.
