The tip of the root grows at the tip of the lotus root.

The lotus root mainly consists of the root node and the root ring, while the part in the middle of the root node is the root tip. The tip of the lotus root is the crunchiest, tenderest and tastiest part of the whole lotus root, and it is also the part of the lotus root that has the best quality after being dried and air-dried. The tip of the lotus root is the last part of the lotus root to be formed in the growth of the lotus root, and it is made up of the newborn material after the division of the lotus root cells.

When the lotus water lily in the lotus pot grows gradually, it will grow lotus root in the water to the sun, the upper part of the lotus root will gradually float out of the water to form the leaves, the lower part of the lotus root will continue to extend downward to form the lotus root's trunk (i.e., the lotus root joints), and the part in the middle of the lotus root joints is the tip of the lotus root. The tip of the root grows from the inside out, and it gradually grows towards the ends through rapid cell division. The root tip is usually white in color and is more tender than the hardness of the whole lotus root.

Precautions for Growing Lotus Root

During the growing period, you should pay attention to preventing flooding and avoiding the field water from flooding the standing leaves. Otherwise, even if the water recedes within 1 to 2 days, it will cause a reduction in the production of lotus root; if the flooding time is longer, it will lead to the death of the plant. Therefore, attention should be paid to timely drainage during the flood season, in addition to protection against strong winds. Because the petiole and pedicel of the lotus root is more delicate and brittle, the leaf blade is larger, the most easy to attract the wind to break, after the break, such as heavy rain or rising water level, so that the water from the airway into the underground stem, easy to cause rot.

Reasonable fertilizer lotus root growth fertilizer, in addition to adequate basal fertilizer, growth period should also be timely fertilizer, general fertilizer 2 to 3 times. The first time in the emergence of 1 to 2 pieces of standing leaves, per 667 square meters of human manure or stable fertilizer 1000 to 1500 kg, or urea 15 kg, to promote the growth of standing call; the second time in the lotus leaves before sealing the line, per 667 square meters of 50 kg of compound fertilizer; the third time in the knot before the lotus root, per 667 square meters of compound fertilizer 20 kg and 15 kg of potassium sulfate.
