Planting methods and techniques of bowl lotus

1. Soil selection

The choice of soil is particularly important when cultivating water lilies. This plant likes fertile soil with high organic matter content, and can be cultivated in paddy field mud or Tangni. In addition, it is best to choose porcelain pots and glazed pots as containers for cultivating water lilies, and all the drainage holes at the bottom of the pots should be blocked before cultivation.

2. Choose the right variety

There are many different varieties of bowl lotus. When cultivating it, you can choose the variety that suits you best. Varieties that are easy to bloom and bloom a lot are the most popular. Varieties like Xiamen bowl lotus, jade bowl, and "spark" are the best choices for people to cultivate bowl lotus. In addition, when choosing bowl lotus, you must pay attention to the integrity of the top buds of the lotus root. If they are damaged, it will be difficult to survive after planting.

3. Water in time

The lotus is an aquatic plant. If you want it to grow quickly, you must keep it in water. When you grow lotus, you can put the water in the sun for one to two days before pouring it into the flowerpot. In addition, you should water it once in the morning and evening every day after entering summer. After it leaves, you should keep the water in the flowerpot sufficient. Only in this way can the lotus grow normally.

4. Adequate fertilization

Bowl water lily is a fertilizer-loving plant, but when applying fertilizer, you should choose decomposed bean cake or oil residue. Phosphorus fertilizer, potassium fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer should not be supplied in excess. Only after it enters the flowering period can the supply of phosphorus fertilizer be increased. It can be applied once a week, which can promote the bowl water lily to bloom earlier and make its flowering period longer.
