1 Prepare a water tank. Generally, there will be a large water tank for holding water in rural families. If this water tank is not used to hold water, it is very effective to plant lotus roots, which not only allows us to eat delicious lotus roots, but also allows us to watch the lotus at close range, which is killing two birds with one stone.
2. Prepare soil, which is a key link in the cultivation technology of lotus root in water tank. Generally, it is best to use pond mud as the soil for planting lotus roots. This kind of mud is generally fertile, so it is convenient and convenient to apply fertilizer and topdressing in the later stage. If there is no pond mud, we can use ordinary garden soil, but before using it, we should soak the garden soil in water to clear up some impurities in the soil. It is better to fill 4/5 of the pot soil, which is beneficial to the growth of lotus root.
3. Prepare the lotus root node. The picture of planting lotus root in the jar tells us that it is best to choose two or three lotus root nodes, and the tail and top should have buds to ensure that the surface of the lotus root node is intact and undamaged. If it is damaged, it is best not to use it as a lotus root, otherwise it will easily rot and affect growth.
4. Plant in a water tank. Under normal circumstances, it is better to plant two kinds of lotus roots in a water tank. Planting lotus roots in a water tank is the last step of how to raise lotus roots in a water tank. Dig a slightly larger hole in the pot soil, then put the lotus root nodes in the hole to expose the top buds, cover the lotus root nodes with soil, and then compact them. Because the pond mud is relatively wet mud, after planting, fill the water tank with water in a week.
