1. Choose potting soil: Use pond mud or rice field mud that is rich in humus. 2. Seed soaking and germination: Soak the seeds in warm water at about 20-40 degrees for a week. 3. Plant in time: Press the fine roots of the seedlings into the soil and plant one plant in each pot. 4. Precautions: When fertilizing excessively, change the water frequently and rinse away part of the fertilizer solution to dilute it.

How to plant bowl lotus

1. Choose pot soil

When planting bowl lotus, you should choose a diameter of about 25-87cm and a depth of about 20-20cm. For 62.5cm flower pots, the soil requires pond mud or rice field mud that is rich in humus. Do not use industrial contaminated soil and yellow clay, which will hinder the growth of the root system.

2. Seed soaking and germination

Soak the broken shell seeds in warm water of about 20-40 degrees, soak for about a week, and change the water every 1-2 days. When soaking seeds, you can put them in a thermos bottle to keep them warm. At a temperature of 30 degrees, germination usually takes 3-5 days, and the germs will protrude from the breach.

3. Plant in time

Add half a pot of river pond mud without chemical pollution to the flower pot, add water to soak it two weeks in advance, be careful not to fertilize, and then cut the fine stems of the lotus seedlings. Press the roots into the soil and plant one plant in each pot. Add water promptly after planting. The water depth should not submerge the small lotus leaves.

4. Precautions

Wanlian likes fertilizer. If there is a lack of fertilizer during the growth period, the root growth and leaf growth will be slow, so when planting, a small amount of decomposed cake fertilizer solution or bean should be mixed into the pot soil. Bran and peanut bran are used as base fertilizers, but the amount should not be too large. If excessive fertilization is found, the water should be changed frequently and part of the fertilizer liquid should be rinsed off to dilute it.
