Potted lotus propagation method, lotus flowering time

1. Breeding Methods

1. Lotus root division: Lotus root division propagation is easier to operate and can be carried out in spring from March to April. First prepare a suitable container, you can use a relatively shallow container, and also prepare a suitable substrate. You can use pond mud directly, or you can mix soil with water into mud. Prepare the seed lotus roots, take them out, trim them properly, and then rinse them in clean water. Hold the top of the lotus root in one hand and insert it into the substrate at an angle of 20 degrees. It does not need to be too deep. The depth for small varieties is about 5 cm, and the depth for large lotus is about 10 cm. Do not water after planting. Wait until the soil is dry before watering. As the temperature rises and the leaves grow, gradually add water to the container.

2. Sowing: Select lotus seeds, cut open the hard shell, soak them in warm water, and wait for a while for them to germinate. Prepare a suitable substrate, sow the germinated lotus seeds into it, slowly add water to make the lotus leaves extend out of the water, pay attention to maintenance, avoid strong light at the beginning, and keep the water clean.
