How to plant ornamental lotus

1. Seed Planting

Select suitable ornamental lotus seeds, rub the concave end of the seeds on the cement floor, soak the seeds in warm water and wait for seedlings. During the germination process, the water should be changed frequently to keep the water clear. The buds will sprout in about a week. When the roots grow to about 10cm, they can be transplanted. Plant one plant in each pot. The water layer should be shallow, about 3-5cm. The lotus leaves should not be submerged in water.

2. Planting lotus roots

1. Choose March or April for planting. Before planting, mix the potting mud into a paste.

2. When planting, insert the lotus root head into the soil at an angle of 20 degrees along the edge of the pot. Keep the head low and the tail high, with half of the tail lifted up, and do not let the lotus root tail enter water.

3. After planting, place it under the sun until the surface of the soil is slightly dry and cracks appear. When the lotus root is completely bonded to the soil, add a small amount of water. After the buds grow out, gradually deepen the water level and keep it at 3-5cm.
