How to propagate beautiful lotus

1. Cutting

This method can be carried out during its growing season. First, select leaves that are plump, strong, well-growing and complete, break them off with your hands, and spread them flat on the surface of the sand. This completes the cuttings.

However, after cuttings, the sandy soil must be kept in a slightly moist state for a long time, and the environment should not be too dry. At the same time, the temperature must be kept above 18 degrees. After a period of time, new sprouts will grow from the broken edge. When these small sprouts grow a little bigger, they can be cut off and planted individually.

2. Division

This method is best carried out in spring and autumn. The specific method is the same as that for most other flowers. First, dig out the entire plant, and then choose the divisions that have good growth and are strong and full for replanting.

But when digging the mother plant, you must be careful not to damage its roots, because once the roots are damaged, it will not be able to absorb nutrients from the flower soil, which will prevent the new plant from growing.

3. Sowing

Although this method is easy, it is not easy to collect seeds because when cultivating this plant, if it is not properly maintained, it may not bloom, and if it does not bloom, it is impossible to collect seeds.

If you have ready-made seeds, you can choose to sow them in spring, but it takes a long time for them to germinate, which requires patience. There are not many other requirements for sowing, it is the same as sowing most plants. But make sure the environment is warm.
