How to propagate leek lotus

Bulb division method

First we dig out the bulb and separate it from the mother plant. Then plant the dug bulbs in the soil to make them independent new plants. Water it thoroughly at one time, place it in a cool place, and it can see the sun after a week. Note that the time for dividing the leek lotus can be spring or autumn, but it should be ensured that there is sufficient light, fertilizer and water.

Bulb division propagation

After the leek lotus at home has grown for two or three years, it can be propagated by division. First, we dig out the underground bulbs in the pot, three to five bulbs in a nest. Then knock the bulb out of the pot with the soil, remove the old soil, and put new culture soil in the pot. If you want to continue transplanting in the future, you can choose to plant it deep, with the soil about three centimeters higher than the bulb.

Precautions

After autumn, the leaves of the leek lotus will generally start to turn yellow from the top. We can dig the bulbs and corms out of the soil, dry them moderately, and then store them in a humid environment with a temperature of 2-4℃. If stored properly, storage for about 90 days will not affect reproduction.
