A rare flower that has attracted people's attention, the ginger lotus, belonging to the genus Ginger lotus in the ginger family, is a perennial herbaceous tropical bulbous flower native to the Chiang Mai region of Thailand. Because the pink bracts resemble lotus flowers and are in the ginger family, they are called ginger lotus. Ginger lotus flowers are popular in Japan because of their unique flower shape, bright flower color, and long flowering period.
The rhizome of the ginger lotus flower has a special nutrient storage organ that grows at the top of the root, which is called a "milk tank".
1. Planting location and method.
The new balls of ginger lotus are harvested in December and are generally shipped at the end of December or early January to April or May (remember to buy bulbs at this time). These bulbs are still dormant and need to be heat-treated for three or four weeks at 30 degrees to break the dormancy period before they can be planted. Depending on the temperature during the cultivation period, flowering can occur from 75 to 90 days after planting.
Ginger lotus peanuts prefer warm, humid and sunny climates for a long time. Seed bulb planting should be buried 10 cm deep, the main ball and the sub-ball should not be cut, and it is better to have a large pot of fertile soil (generally a 2-gallon pot can be planted).
Usually water, remember not to sprinkle water on the leaves and flowers.
2. Soil and fertilizer.
Ginger lotus grows vigorously and adapts to the soil, generally as long as the soil is not too clay and heavy, it can be planted, but if it is a professional ground plant production, in order to take into account the harvesting of bulbs, it is more suitable to choose sandy loam, deep soil, good drainage, and no shortage of water. Ginger lotus from planting to dormancy, the growth period is as long as 8-10 months, if the root cultivation can be up to two years, so a large amount of organic matter should be added as a base fertilizer when preparing the land, and the soil pH should be adjusted to about pH value.

Many people have the character of lotus flowers that come out of the mud and are not stained, but have you ever thought about planting a beautiful pot of lotus flowers on the balcony of your home? With just a few lotus roots, you can harvest a beautiful potted lotus plant this summer! Let's take a look at the planting process.
We need to prepare a few sections of lotus root that we can't finish eating, and keep the lotus root moist before planting. I chose a more hardy variety, which is also very adaptable, in fact, it is a tuber with new shoots, which is easier than planting a bowl lotus.
This tuber also has two leaves and two growth points, which are basically planted in the pond mud, which is a living plant.
Fill half of the vat, bury the tubers in the soil, and pour in clean water to flood the leaves and buds.
To plant lotus, you need a relatively large bucket, you can choose a 50-liter size of the bucket, but also need more pond mud or silt, of course, you can not use the usual garden soil or nutrient soil, and some chicken manure or pig manure, the effect is better. You can choose a container according to the size of the lotus root sprouts you bought.
Be especially careful when putting the lotus root buds into the soil, place the lotus root buds upwards to prevent it, and fill the container with the soil in general, slowly add water to let the water fully soak the pond mud.
Maintain a certain water level and not drought. In order not to breed mosquitoes, you can put an insect net on it at the beginning.
Lotus flowers are light-loving flowers, which must be fully sunny, kept ventilated, with sufficient water in the pot, and debris in the pot should be removed at any time. Before the beginning of winter, cut off the residual branches, remove the debris in the pot, and move people into a room about 5 degrees for storage, and can not be frozen or cut off in winter. In the south, pots can be buried directly in the soil1 2, and the exposed part is wrapped with straw for wintering.
Lotus flowers are afraid of rapid winds and hail, so they should pay attention to protection.

Do you know? The root of the lotus flower, that is, the lotus root, in addition to being edible, the lotus root can also be potted on the balcony! Prepare a bucket or jar on the line, there is a big lump of lotus root to eat after enjoying the flowers, my neighbor potted lotus, can envy me to death! The method of planting lotus flowers with lotus root is as follows:
1. Seed selection: planting lotus root at home, because of the conditions, it is best to choose shallow water lotus, directly using lotus root seeds is faster, and seed sowing will be very slow.
2. Soil: Add a layer of dead leaves or straw at the bottom of the container, and then add 15 to 20cm thick organic fertilizer (you can use rotten chicken manure) and soil.
3. Planting: Choose two lotus roots with buds as seeds, dip the root buds in some plant ash (play a role in sterilization and disinfection) and bury them in the soil for about 2cm, and then soak them in about 3cm of water.
4. Maintenance. Shallow front: When the lotus root is planted until the first leaf appears, this period is the germination period, and it is necessary to maintain a shallow water of 4 to 7cm to promote the germination of the lotus root.
Medium depth: With the appearance of the leaves of the lotus root, the stem and leaf growth of the lotus root becomes more vigorous, and the depth of the water layer during this time should rise to about 12 to 15cm.
Shallow: When no new leaves are grown, it means that the lotus root has begun to form, and the water layer at this time should be reduced to about 4 to 7cm.
5. Harvesting. <>
When the leaves of the lotus root begin to wither and yellow, and the back of the leaves is reddish, it means that the lotus root is ripe and ready to be harvested.
4 general skills for raising flowers, basic knowledge to pay attention to when raising flowers.
1.Selection of cultivation medium.
The medium is actually the material for raising flowers, including our commonly used garden soil, humus soil, nutrient soil, river sand, ceramsite and water moss, etc., the key to potting soil is to have good drainage and breathability, and the requirements of common green plants at home for soil are generally loose, fertile, well-drained and so on.
2.The need for watering plants.
Flower watering is not simply how many days to water on the line, in your own home to raise flowers throughout the year the temperature and humidity are different, the frequency of watering is naturally not the same. It needs to be watered according to the water requirements of the plants, the environment in which the flowers are located, and so on.
The best way is to wait for the potting soil to dry and water thoroughly, which generally means that the soil under the soil surface is dry 3 5 cm before watering, and watering means that the water drips out at the bottom of the pot when the soil is not compacted, even if it is watered thoroughly. (It is also common sense that plants in the dormant period should not be watered).
3.Control fertilizer and water.
In addition to preparing the soil and controlling the watering, the rest of the conditions are the needs of light and fertilizer, first of all, we must understand whether their flowers have a large demand for fertilizer, and the growing period can be thin fertilizer and diligent application, and when potting, properly prepare some well-rotted cake fertilizer as base fertilizer, which will make your plants grow better.
4.Lighting requirements.
Each plant's need for light is different, which requires us to put the plant in the right position, whether the plant likes light or is more shade-tolerant, we have to understand, but most indoor plant growth needs bright optical fibers. Even shade-tolerant plants are exposed to scattered light, and even if they are placed in a place where there is no light at all, they should be regularly moved to the balcony to receive sunlight.
