When does the lotus sprout?

Lotus usually germinates in March in spring.

At this time, the ambient temperature has been warmer and more stable, which is conducive to the germination and growth of lotus, and the southern region will germinate earlier. Lotus is an aquatic plant. After winter, its branches will slowly die, but the roots in the underwater mud are still alive. After low temperature dormancy in winter, it will grow better in the coming year.

When planting lotus seeds, you should choose seeds with full seeds and no damage, which is beneficial to the rapid survival of seedlings. Be careful not to choose seeds stored for too long, which is not conducive to the growth of lotus seedlings. If you have lotus seeds at home, you can take them out when they are ripe.

When planting lotus, it is best to use the silt in the lotus pond, then plant the germinated lotus seeds in the soil, add water to the flowerpot, and expose the flower buds of the lotus to the water to prevent them from rotting.

Cultivation method of lotus

Lotus is a plant that likes sunshine and is suitable for growing in sunny environment. When cultivating lotus, it is necessary to put the plant in a bright environment and let it receive no less than 8 hours of light every day, but in summer, it is necessary to build a sunshade net above the lotus.

Lotus needs sufficient nutrients during its growth. When cultivating lotus, fertilize once a month at the peak of plant growth. You can choose rotten cake fertilizer or phosphorus-potassium compound fertilizer. After the lotus blooms, you need to spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate on its flowers.

When cultivating lotus, we should observe the growth state of the plant regularly. If the lotus is found to be infected with diseases and insect pests, the branches and leaves infected with the diseases should be cut off immediately to avoid the aggravation of the disease, and carbendazim should be sprayed on the lotus once every other week to maintain its normal growth.
