How to make the lotus planted in a pot bloom vigorously and beautifully

In order to make the lotus planted in pots have better ornamental value, we must put effort into seed selection and maintenance.

Seed selection

You should choose lotus varieties with strong vitality that are suitable for pot planting. Generally, varieties with medium plant shape such as "Sunny Day", "Autumn Water and Long Sky", "Donghu Chunxiao" and so on should be selected for pot planting.

Controlling the number of lotus sprouts

There should not be too many lotus root sprouts. Generally, a pot with a diameter of 50 cm is suitable for planting only two lotus seeds.

Too many lotus buds will inevitably cause excessive vegetative growth and consume nutrients in the tank. Even if some leaves are cut off later, it will be difficult to transfer nutrients in the body to reproductive growth.

Protect the buds

Each section of lotus root must have a complete and intact thatched bud, otherwise it will be difficult to bloom in the same year after planting.

The thatch bud is the growth point at the top of the lotus root segment.

Choose the time to transplant

When the temperature reaches above 15℃, it is the best time for lotus root reproduction. The lotus root buds planted during this period have suitable living conditions, grow rapidly, and can accumulate more nutrients for flowering.

Pay attention to keeping warm in winter. After the flowers sprout in the spring next year, strengthen fertilization management and apply appropriate amounts of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Then you can have satisfactory lotus flowers in bloom in the summer.
