How to plant lotus and how to raise lotus flowers

Resistant to moisture and cold, to have enough light, the first floor is not tolerant to fertilizer, as long as it is rotten organic fertilizer is not in the way, can not be on the fertilizer, easy to burn roots.

Peppermint is a seed root, very leathery, not tolerant to fertilizer, and the same as planting onions.

Dry lotus refers to tulips, it does not like high temperatures, more cold-resistant, generally planted in autumn and winter, the soil should use a deeper sandy soil, so it should also be selected larger and deeper pots, and there should be drainage holes, watering requirements are not dry or wet, keep the soil more moist, so that the temperature is 10 18, high temperature to be placed in a cool place to maintain.

1. The potting soil is suitable.

Breeding dry lotus should be used loose and breathable, well-drained sandy soil, it is best to contain a certain amount of organic matter or humus, the preparation method is mixed with garden soil, river sand, humus in a ratio of 2:1:1, if there is no humus, you can add an appropriate amount of base fertilizer in the pot soil, the pot should be large and deep, but not too large.

2. Watering an appropriate amount.

Dry lotus likes semi-dry and semi-wet soil, can not water too much, can not make the pot soil too dry, watering does not need to be watered thoroughly, maintain a certain humidity on the line, each watering to eight minutes of penetration, dry weather can be watered several times, summer is the dormant period, watering should not be too much, to ensure that the soil is not too dry.

3. Temperature requirements.

Dry lotus does not like high temperature, more cold-tolerant, the suitable growth temperature is 10 18, the temperature reaches 20 will grow slowly, more than 25 when the dry lotus will stop growing into the dormant period, so in the summer it should be moved to a cool place to maintain, winter low temperature is the growth period of tulips, at this time to water less, so as not to frostbite the roots.

4. Sufficient light.

Dry lotus does not have high requirements for light, but the growth period is in autumn and winter, it is recommended to maintain sufficient light, so that it can grow better, and can also maintain a more suitable growth temperature.

5. Fertilization requirements.

Tulips are very sensitive to fertilizer, fertilization is mainly compound fertilizer, and to maintain the balance of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements, lack of nitrogen fertilizer will lead to smaller flowers and leaves, lack of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is not conducive to the growth of rhizomes, fertilization is mainly fertilized in autumn and winter, every 1 2 months to apply, no need to fertilize in summer.

1. Soil conditions.

Peppermint needs to be well maintained, the choice of soil is very important, a pot of fertile soil can meet the various nutrients needed for the growth of mint, otherwise we need to supplement nutrients through artificial means. Artificial supplementation of nutrients also need to pay attention to the problem of dosage, the dosage is too small to have a good effect, and too much dosage will cause fertilizer damage.

So a pot of fertile, loose, breathable, well-drained soil is very beneficial for the growth of mint. Huaergu suggests that you can use garden soil + humus soil to cultivate mint, these soils are nutrient-sufficient, breathable and drainable, and cultivating mint can promote thick stems and wide leaf green.

2. Watering requirements.

Peppermint needs to grow well and be well-raised, and watering is essential. Peppermint prefers to grow in relatively humid environments, and prolonged drought can cause thin stems and dry leaves, and stagnant water in pots can also cause root rot.

Therefore, it is very favorable to give mint a relatively moist environment without standing up in water. Generally, under the watering method of the principle of seeing dry and wet, you can start watering when the soil surface is slightly dry, and you don't need to pay attention to anything when watering, you can water directly from the leaves down. We can usually collect some rainwater to water mint, which is safer and more nutritious than tap water.

When using tap water, it must be dried for more than 24 hours before it can be used.

3. Lighting environment.

It is best to find a semi-shady environment for the cultivation of mint, if it is placed in the sun, it is easy to burn, causing the leaves to turn black and dry. Especially in the summer, you need to pay attention to shade. In other seasons, when the sun is weak, it can be raised in the open, but you need to pay attention to the water **, otherwise the soil will dry up and the leaves will dry up.

4. Pinch the tip and hit the top.

If the mint grows without proper pinching and topping, it will grow all the time, so that its stalk will continue to grow and the leaves under it will look bare when they grow old. We can pinch off its apical buds when it grows to a certain length, so that more side branches will grow, and the effect of bursting pots will gradually become prominent.

Peppermint is a plant that likes to be plucked very much, and the more the top bud is picked, the easier it is to burst the pot. A pot of vigorous mint is formed by promoting the growth of side branches in the process of continuous bud picking.

5. Turn over the pot and change the soil.

After the mint has been cultivated for a year, we need to loosen the soil and change the soil every spring, because the roots of the mint will grow very quickly, and the reproduction ability of the plant is also very strong.

Regularly change some fertile soil and loosen the potting soil every year, which is conducive to the better growth of its roots, and the potted mint can continue forever. When changing pots and soil, it is necessary to prune, and some dead branches, old leaves, and old roots must be pruned off. The branches and leaves that grow in the future will grow very well.

Lotus seedlings. Like fertilizer, generally fertilize once every half a month or so, but do not fertilize for the winter or apply thick fertilizer, otherwise there will be a phenomenon of burning seedlings, summer is when the lotus seedlings bloom, the demand for fertilizer has also increased greatly, at this time you can top dressing in an appropriate amount, if the lotus seedlings in the potted plant grow out of the water, the lotus leaves are yellow, you can apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and then apply fertilizer every 20 days or so. Lotus seedlings are light-loving plants, so it is necessary to put the cup seedlings outdoors in full sunlight, and the distance between the potted lotus seedlings should also be appropriate, so as to ensure its overall light transmittance, in order to better photosynthesize and accumulate organic matter, so as to promote the growth of lotus cup seedlings.

If you plant lotus flowers at home, you should put them in a sunny place, and ensure that the light duration is more than 5 hours a day, and if there is no sufficient sunlight, the leaves of the lotus flowers will turn yellow and wilt. The most suitable growth temperature for lotus flowers is about 20-35 degrees, so summer is the best place for lotus flowers to grow, and it is also the most suitable time for us to watch lotuses.

Potted lotus flowers are usually planted in shallow lotus pots, bucket pots, or shallow jars with a diameter of more than 60 cm. It is best to dig pond silt and plain cement in the winter and stack it in a sunny place, crush and sieve it in spring, or select a cohesive surface soil.

Plant lotus root in early April in the north, put the lotus root saved in the original pot last year, turn the bottom of the pot to the sky, take off the pot, first find the lotus root head (top) and feel it backward to two or three sections of the running bar to pinch off, keep the top bud, waist bud and tail bud intact. Usually take 3 sections for 1 plant, first at the bottom of the pot pad 1 2 cm thick sand, then fill 10 cm, in the middle of the pot put 200 300 grams of pig hair as base fertilizer. Subsequently, fill the soil and cover the fertilizer to the half-waist of the pot, and then plant the lotus root into the pot with the head and tail high by the pot, the top (lotus root) is covered with soil 7 cm, and the tail is covered with soil 1 cm, and a small pot is placed in the center of the pot to avoid washing away the pot soil when watering.

When watering begins, allow it to penetrate and then fill the pot. After 2 to 3 days, wait for the potting soil to be implemented, add water to keep it 2 cm deep, and gradually add water to the mouth of the pot as the leaf buds grow and the temperature rises.

If the leaf color is light and thin, you can add urea and potassium dihydrogen phosphate or about 10 pieces of finger-sized cake fertilizer to the water, and stuff them in the pot mud once every 10 days or so. If the leaves are thick and slightly blue light, it means that the fertilizer is moderate. If the leaves are uneven, it means that the amount of fertilizer is too large, and it will not be topdressed in August.

Lotus cultivation must be full of sunshine, ventilated and spacious, keep the pot water sufficient and clear, remove rotten leaves and debris at any time, and prevent mosquito breeding. In midsummer, you can drop a small amount of pesticides or stocking small fish, cut off the stumps before the "beginning of winter", remove the debris in the pot, and move it into the room about 5 for storage, and can not be frozen or cut off in winter. In the south, pots can be buried directly into the soil1 2, and the exposed part is wrapped with straw for wintering.

Lotus flowers are afraid of strong winds and hail, so pay attention to protection.
