1. Breed selection. When selecting lotus roots, you should pay attention to observe whether there are new buds growing in the lower part of the lotus roots, and some new roots will grow next to the buds. Such seedlings can be planted directly. Secondly, when selecting seeds, we will choose intact lotus roots with at least three or more sections. Try to choose some complete lotus roots that look relatively large and disease-free, and the newly grown buds look relatively vigorous. The bigger the lotus root seeds, the better, so that the newly developed young lotus roots will be better.
2. Sowing. Try not to leave lotus root seeds for too long. Generally, you should plant them immediately after selecting them. Before planting, you must first treat the lotus root seeds. Stir the lotus root seeds with targeted chemicals before planting them. This way you can Prevent many diseases caused by the environment during the growth process in advance. When planting, plant as deep as possible, so that the lotus roots will be big and good when they grow. The seeding density is estimated based on the size of the pond you choose. Generally, lotus roots develop quickly and bloom over a larger area, so usually one plant is planted every 30 to 50 centimeters, and it will grow in a short time. It grows all over the pond, densely packed.
3. Field management. About a month after planting, the lotus leaves and flowers in the pond will slowly grow. At this time, we need to remove some leaves and flower buds to prevent them from absorbing a lot of nutrients and hindering the growth of lotus roots. During the growth process of lotus root, fertilization should be carried out once when five or six lotus leaves grow. This is mainly to prove whether it is alive. Secondly, fertilization should be carried out once the lotus leaves in the pond are basically full, which means that it has appeared. Many small and tender lotus roots need sufficient nutrients. The last time fertilization was done, no new leaves have grown in the pond. This means that the lotus roots in the pond are slowly growing up, so they need a lot of nutrients. to keep them growing. Finally, the water level in the pond should not be too deep or too shallow. It is generally controlled at ten to fifteen centimeters.
