When is the best time to plant lotus? What month is suitable for planting potted lotus?

Generally, there are two ways to plant lotus, namely, seed seedling cultivation and lotus root division planting. If it is seed seedling cultivation, in order to promote the germination of lotus as soon as possible, you can first soak the lotus seeds in water for one night, and then put them in a cool place to air dry. After the lotus seeds are dry, first wear the surface of the lotus seeds, which can speed up the germination time of the lotus and increase the survival rate of the seeds.

Lotus planting time

The best time to sow lotus is in spring from March to April . The average temperature in spring is around 10 to 20 degrees. Sowing lotus during this period is very beneficial to its growth. It can increase its survival rate and accelerate its growth rate.

Lotus planting method

Before sowing lotus, you need to prepare the soil substrate. The soil substrate for lotus growth should be pond mud. Dilute the pond mud slightly and stir it into a paste. In this way, you can bury the sprouted seeds. After burying them, pay attention to keep the pond mud moist.

Points to note when planting lotus

Since lotus likes fertile silt, if the fertility is insufficient, you can fertilize it to make up for it, but too much fertilizer will burn the lotus seedlings, so pay attention to the dosage of fertilizer. In addition, summer is the flowering period of lotus, and the demand for fertilizer is relatively large. Therefore, according to the growth of lotus, timely fertilization should be carried out, and the daily sunlight should be no less than 6 hours, otherwise the lotus will have yellow leaves and withered buds.
