Planting location

It's best to plant mountain lotus leaves directly in the outdoor land, but most people living in cities don't have the land to plant flowers, so they have to plant them in flower pots. If they are cultivated in flower pots, they must use large flower pots as much as possible

If there are conditions, it is best to cultivate on the land. The selection of location is particularly important. Fertile sandy soil or land with more humus is the best. The soft and humid soil is especially suitable for the growth of mountain lotus leaves. Secondly, the selected plot should have water source to facilitate irrigation. Finally, pay attention to the selection of ventilated and semi shady plots, and the shady slope section is the best. If it is planted in a flower pot, add more fertilizer to the bottom of the pot

After selecting the planting land, the soil should be turned over in autumn, and the soil layer should be turned over about 25cm deep. After turning over, pay attention to fertilization, and it is best to use cooked soil, miscellaneous fertilizer or compost. Before planting, the land needs to be cultivated again, and ditches should be made around the plot for drainage

Planting method

Sow

If seeds are used for planting, seeds should be collected in August and September of the previous year. Remove the epidermis of the leaves and fruits of the mountain lotus, and select the plump seeds for preservation. Pay attention to thermal insulation after planting. Generally, it is OK to cover a layer of hay on the soil surface

Ramet

When planting with the split plant method, the old roots of mountain lotus leaves should be dug out from the soil in February and March, and then divided into several small pieces of about 13cm, and then the separated small rhizomes should be planted into the soil. Pay attention to leaving enough space between plants, and the row spacing should be at least 30cm. Mountain lotus leaf is a plant that is afraid of drought. After planting, it should be watered enough. Transplants can be performed from April to November
