There are dozens of varieties of lotus mist. Currently, the main varieties cultivated in Hainan are Taiwan Black Pearl and Thailand Red Diamond. Taiwan Black Diamond Lotus is a pink variety with drooping, bell-shaped, shiny fruits. When mature, the fruit is deep red and the flesh is white. Because the fruits cultivated out of season appear purple, they are commonly known as black pearls and black diamonds.
2 Planting at the appropriate time
The planting method is wide rows. Generally, the row spacing is 6 m, the plant spacing is 5 m, and about 330 plants/hm2 are planted. The spacing between plants and rows can be selected according to the terrain, and dwarf and dense planting can also be considered, and the plants can be thinned out later. Dig planting holes at fixed points according to the selected plant spacing. The hole specifications are 1 m in length, width and depth.
3 Water and fertilizer management
For young trees, focus on cultivating strong and evenly distributed backbone branches to expand the crown and lay the foundation for early and high yields. The lotus leaf has lush branches and leaves and a large amount of evaporation. The park should lay out a reasonable pipeline irrigation system. At the same time, field weeds, crop straws, etc. are used to cover the tree trays, and thin soil is cultivated to keep the water moist. The growth of lotus lily requires a large amount of fertilizer, so apply more nitrogen and potassium fertilizers in the early stage.
4 Plastic pruning
Lianwu grows quickly and has many branches. In order to make the tree dwarfed, it is easier to harvest, spray and other management work, to reduce the damage of typhoons, and to maintain the tree. The shape, sunlight and ventilation are good to promote early flowering and improve quality. Pruning is very important.
5 Flowering
Flowering generally uses drugs to wake up and fertilize and water to promote germination. Spraying to promote flowering should be carried out in sunny weather during the day, cool in the morning and evening, and it is best to have similar conditions before and after flowering. Avoid spraying to promote flowering after a typhoon or rain. If there is heavy rain after spraying, it will be difficult to achieve the desired flowering effect, and you must spray again.
6 Preserve flowers and fruits
Apply fertilizer to strengthen flowers and fruits in a timely manner to prevent fruit drop and cracking. After the lotus flower buds are neatly extracted, organic fertilizers and compound fertilizers are applied, and trace elements, gibberellins, anti-falling factors, etc. are sprayed 2 to 3 times on the leaves.
