Time to change the soil of lotusIt is generally better to repot the water lily in May or June. If it is too early, the water lily has not started to grow yet, and if it is too late, the growing lotus stems may be easily broken. If the soil and pot are changed in May or June, the survival rate will be higher. How to change the pot and soil of lotusThe flowerpot of bowl lotus needs to be changed every 1-2 years. First, drain the water inside, and then dry the soil inside. When the soil separates from the edge of the flowerpot, you can turn the flowerpot upside down, and then slowly dig out the seed lotus root and remove the old soil on the outside. Be sure not to damage the seed lotus root. The older ones can be thrown away. The flowerpot for bowl lotus should be at least 30 cm in diameter. Such space can ensure the plant's stretching and growth, and its development can be normal. The nutrients are guaranteed to be good and the growth will be good. The potting soil can be pond mud or garden soil. These two types of soil are rich in nutrients and can provide sufficient nutrients for growth. Put hoof pieces or broken bones as base fertilizer at the bottom of the bowl lotus pot, then fill it with the prepared potting soil, then plant the rhizomes, cover it with a layer of river sand to fix the plant, then water the pot enough, and after sprouts grow, put water in the pot, keep the water level slightly higher than the soil surface, move it to a well-ventilated place for maintenance, and ensure sufficient sunlight. Notes on changing the soil for lotus bowlBefore putting the water lily into the pot, you can add fully decomposed cake fertilizer liquid or bean bran, peanut bran to the soil as base fertilizer. The new soil and new pots used need to be disinfected to avoid bacteria that affect the growth of the plant. Soil for changing the soil of lotusBowl lotus likes loose, fertile, humus-rich soil. Fertile river pond mud is the most ideal soil for cultivation, which is also beneficial to the growth of the plant. Changing the soil and applying base fertilizer for lotusBowl lotus likes fertilizer, but cannot tolerate concentrated fertilizer. When planting in pots, mix a small amount of base fertilizer into the soil, and add a small amount of cake fertilizer, etc. Make sure it is fully decomposed in advance. Maintenance method of bowl lotus after changing soilDo not water the bowl lotus too much after changing the soil, otherwise the soil temperature will be lowered, which is not conducive to the rooting and development of the seedlings. In severe cases, rot will occur. Use a fine-meshed spray bottle when watering, or you can slowly water along the sides of the flowerpot. Do not drip on the flowers. In addition, give sufficient scattered light maintenance and do not expose it directly to the sun. Watering after soil replacementAfter changing the soil of the bowl lotus, let it air dry for five to seven days, and then water it after the soil is dry. At this time, you can water it thoroughly once, and then wait until the soil is completely dry before watering it again, but there should be no water accumulation. Leaves turn yellow after changing soilThe yellowing of the leaves of the water lily after changing the soil may be caused by improper fertilization. Excessive fertilizer or lack of fertilizer will cause yellowing of the leaves. In addition, if the soil or water quality is alkaline, it will also affect the absorption of trace elements by the roots of the water lily, causing the leaves to turn yellow. See the sun after changing the soilAs long as the bowl lotus has roots, it can be exposed to the sun. Make sure that at least one leaf is above the water surface. If all leaves are underwater, the seedling will die. |
