Propagation mode of lotus seed: sowing

Preparation before sowing

The sowing medium of lotus seed should be loose and fertile sandy soil, and pastoral soil is the best. Certain base fertilizer can be mixed in the basin soil to enable the plant to grow rapidly

Lotus seed sowing

When sowing, the basin soil should not be too wet, just slightly damp. After sowing, ponding should be avoided. Water a small amount after the basin soil is slightly dry. Seedlings emerge 15 days after sowing, and the seedlings grow slowly. Topdressing can be appropriate to accelerate the growth of lotus seeds, but nitrogen fertilizer should not be applied, otherwise the seedlings are easy to grow in vain

Propagation method of lotus seed: ramet

Ramet selection

Although the lotus grows slowly, as long as it is properly maintained, the slow-growing Lotus can also surprise us. Often, there are many young seedlings at the root of a lotus plant, which can be used for reproduction. There is no need to wait for it to grow up like waiting for sowing seedlings

When selecting ramet seedlings, those with strong stems should be selected, and those with thin and weak stems should not be considered

Individual curing

Ramets shall be carried out from March to April in spring in combination with changing pots. The over dense old plants shall be separated, and 2-3 clumps are appropriate for each pot. It blooms two years after ramet. If it blooms in autumn, it can also bloom the next year

Because whether it is sowing seedlings or split seedlings, in fact, the growth is very slow. Therefore, it is necessary to apply fertilizer appropriately to speed up its growth and promote its early flowering. Phosphate fertilizer is the best

After the ramet seedlings are put into the pot, it is not suitable to accumulate water. The pot soil should be kept slightly moist or semi dry. Do not water more, otherwise it is easy to rot roots
