How to grow lotus after it sprouts and bury it in the soil

Many people in life like to grow water lilies, but some people don’t know how to grow the water lilies after they germinate the seeds, or how to bury them in the soil. Today, the editor will introduce some knowledge in this area, so that everyone can understand more about the cultivation methods of water lilies.

How to grow lotus after it sprouts

1. Prepare nutrient soil

If you want to grow the water lily well after it sprouts, you must prepare suitable culture soil. You can prepare 100 parts of pond mud, two parts of bean cake water, one part of wood ash fire, two parts of ox hoof water, and one part of bone meal. Mix them well to make nutrient soil.

2. Prepare the flower pot

Bowl lotus is a relatively small plant, so you don't need to prepare a flowerpot that is too large. A diameter of between 30 and 40 centimeters and no more than 20 centimeters will do. After preparing the flowerpot, put the prepared potting soil into the pot.

3. Bowl lotus buried in the soil

Gently take out the sprouted lotus, press it directly into the soft soil with your hands, and plant it in the middle of the flowerpot. At this time, be sure to let the buds growing from the lotus seeds emerge from the mud layer and keep it at a relatively shallow water level until it grows new leaves.

4. Daily management

Daily management is also very important after the water lily sprouts and enters the soil. It must be placed in a sunny environment and maintain good ventilation. If it is grown indoors, it is best to place it on a sunny balcony. Only in this way can its tender shoots quickly grow into floating leaves. After it grows floating leaves, the water depth can be increased to 3 to 5 cm. After entering summer, the water in the flowerpot should be increased to about ten centimeters, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied in time to promote the flowering of the water lily.

5. Safe wintering

Bowl lotus is a plant with strong cold resistance, but it also needs to be managed carefully after entering winter. At this time, the temperature drops and the water level in the flowerpot should also be lowered. Just keep a small amount of water in the flowerpot. In addition, the bowl lotus will enter a dormant state during this period. At this time, you can remove its dead branches and flowers in time and move it to a warm and sunny place. As long as you do these, the bowl lotus can safely survive the winter.
