Bowl lotus and water lily

The lotus we raise at home now is mainly bowl lotus and water lily. The plant type is appropriate and does not occupy space. Among them, the lotus is very similar to our common lotus flower. It is smaller. It can be planted directly in the basin, and some flower friends directly use foam boxes and bowls to keep them! p>

water lily is more special, leaves will have a gap, often floating on the water, the flowers come out more colors, in addition to the common red, white, and yellow, orange, blue and purple, water lily is the best large water tank or foam box, so that it will be nice to grow a basin! p>

Lotus cultivation steps

Raising lotus is actually simpler than raising flowers. As long as you have sunshine at home, you can raise flowers. Let's follow Huahua to try how to raise it. You must be able to learn it as soon as you learn

1. Cut the seeds and soak them in water for 3-5 days

The shell of the lotus seed is very thick. Use a knife or scissors to cut off the sharp end of the shell, so that it can germinate faster. It will sprout after soaking in clean water for 3-5 days. Huahua would also like to remind you that the lotus seeds used as seeds must be old lotus seeds. When buying, you should also pay attention not to buy lotus seeds that become vegetable lotus seeds, otherwise they will not bloom~

2. Change the water once every 1-2 days and wait for the buds to grow small leaves

After the lotus seeds sprout, they can be put in the sunshine. Change the water every 1-2 days. Note that the tap water must be put for 1 day before it can be used, otherwise too much chlorine will affect the growth. In about 1-2 weeks, small leaves will grow and the root system will emerge. At this time, it can be planted

3. Colonization

The best soil for lotus planting is paddy soil or ordinary original soil. Sift it first, remove the large particles, and then pour boiling water for 1-3 times for sterilization. It doesn't take much. Just cover the seeds and roots (or omit the head). It's best to plant one plant and one pot, so that the flowering is more smooth

4. Maintenance

Lotus is not afraid of sun exposure. Just put them in a sunny place at home. The more sun exposure, the faster they grow. Pay attention to adding water. It's best to fill the water. Don't use polluted fish pond water here, or use tap water after drying. Usually you can add some nutrient solution and compound fertilizer, and spray some potassium dihydrogen phosphate before flowering

Lotus cultivation

1. Yellow leaf, burnt leaf

If your lotus leaves turn brown and rotten, there may be less water, no water change for a long time, poor water quality, too much fertilizer, burning, and too many crowded plants in the basin. If you find any problems, you can compare them to see what the reasons are

When yellow leaves, burnt leaves and rotten leaves appear, first change the water, and it is best to dry the tap water for 1-2 days; Remove the necrotic stems and leaves and let them grow again. After the new leaves grow, you can add some nutrient solution

2. No flowering

some flower friends make complaints about slow flowering or light leaves and no flowers. Most likely you have bought Suqian lotus seeds. If seeds are real, then they will be easy to handle. p>

First of all, we should see whether the light is enough. We must keep it in a sunny and ventilated place, add water in time, and the water should be full; If you want to promote flowers, you can add some compound fertilizer or potassium dihydrogen phosphate every week

3. Insect problem

In summer, as long as there is water, it is easy to produce insects. In fact, we can reduce the probability of insects by keeping clean and hygienic from soil sterilization to timely changing water and adding water. We must be ventilated. It is difficult to raise any flowers without ventilation

If your container for raising lotus is large enough, you can raise several small miscellaneous fish with solid skin. Small fish of 1-2 cm need 1 liter of water activity space. You can calculate. It's OK to raise a few in the basin~
