But when should potted lotus roots be cultivated and how should they be cultivated?
When it comes to cultivation time, it is generally related to varieties. Lotus root can be divided into south lotus root and north lotus root. South lotus root has seven holes and is cultivated from February to March. Lotus root in the north is often nine holes, and it can't be cultivated until April-May. Therefore, friends of lotus root must set the time according to the varieties they choose. Pay attention to the following problems when planting lotus roots at home.
First, you must choose a big flowerpot or a big barrel. Only in this way can the lotus root relax its personality and grow freely. If the space is really limited, you can only choose the bowl lotus, which is a miniature lotus root with beautiful flowers and outstanding charm.
2. Pay attention to the configuration of soil and properly control the height of water.
We can put the sun-dried leaves in flowerpots or vats, make firewood at the bottom of the pots, and add mud and appropriate amount of water later. (Retted substances can provide nutrition for the growth of lotus root, which is the favorite of lotus root)
After the soil is mixed, try to choose short and thick lotus roots with bud tips. Lotus roots can't be damaged, otherwise they will rot easily and germinate badly. When planting, the shower head faces south and the bud tip faces up. After planting, add water appropriately. At first, you can add three to five centimeters of water, and when the weather is hot, it will increase to about ten centimeters. After a while, you can see MengMeng's bud. Lotus leaf has just appeared, and it is quite ornamental! When flowers bloom, they are even more ecstatic.
3. See more light during growth and pay attention to fertilization.
Lotus root is a light-loving plant. If there is enough light, it will make Yuzryha greener and the flowers more attractive, so don't put it in the shade. In order to make the seedlings grow healthily, topdressing can also be appropriate. Generally, the first fertilizer can be applied when vertical leaves appear, the second fertilizer can be applied when five to six vertical leaves appear, and the third fertilizer can be applied at flowering stage. Apply compound fertilizer, organic fertilizer and manure, but in a proper amount to avoid burning roots and leaves.
