If the potted plants are not turned over and replanted in the second year, the flowering amount will be reduced or will not bloom. The reason is that the growth of multiple seed lotus roots will raise the soil layer and affect the water storage. The key point is that there is not enough space and nutrients for the growth of multiple seed lotus roots. Therefore, if the potted plants are turned over and planted with a strong lotus root in the second year or the whole pot clods are transplanted to a larger container, the pond planting can be treated once every two to three years according to the size of the pond.
Generally speaking, it needs to turn over the basin once a year. If the flowerpot grows weakly and is small, it needs to be turned over every two years. When turning the pot, the pot should be bigger than before, and the substrate needs to be replaced, which will be more conducive to the growth of lotus.
Matters needing attention in turning over pots
After a year of lotus growth, the space in the basin becomes narrow, which is easy to limit its root growth. Therefore, it is very necessary to turn over the basin in the second year. If the pot is not turned in time or for a long time, it will easily affect its growth speed and growth state.
When turning the flowerpot, the time is not fixed, but most flower lovers will choose around Tomb-Sweeping Day. When turning over the flowerpot, we should pay attention to the consideration of temperature, because if the temperature is low, it will easily lead to frostbite of lotus root. If it is too late to turn over the flowerpot, the lotus root will begin to grow new buds, which is easy to damage the lotus root.
When turning the pot, choose a bigger pot than before, and the substrate needs to be replaced. It is best to choose mud pond soil. In addition, the temperature should be considered when turning the basin. When the temperature generally reaches 10℃, the basin can be turned over.
