Cultivation method of lotus
Before cultivating lotus, seeds should be treated to accelerate germination. To select seeds with full and round particles, use a vise to clamp the seeds out of a gap, so that the bacteria can grow smoothly. After that, you can soak the opened seeds in water and take them out for sowing in a week or so.
When the lotus root seedlings grow to the height of 10 cm, they can be transplanted. You can choose a bottomless pottery basin with a diameter of 18 ~ 30 cm as a cultivation container, pour the pollution-free lotus pond mud into the basin, and then press the seedlings into the soil. You need to water it once after planting, and be careful not to cross the lotus leaves.
In the process of lotus cultivation, it is necessary to adjust the water quantity according to the growth state. Shallow water should be provided at seedling stage, and the amount of water should be gradually increased at later stage. When the lotus leaves stand out, the basin can be filled with water. Pay attention to the rapid evaporation of water in summer, and increase the amount of watering to avoid burning leaves.
