How to divide and transplant the ground lotus

1. How to divide the ground lotus

The best time to divide the ground orchid is in spring and autumn, usually on sunny days. Because the ground orchid loves to produce young, we can dig up the tiller seedlings that grow from the roots of the plant at the appropriate time. Separate the seedlings one by one and plant them in pots. After planting, water them thoroughly and place them in a cool and ventilated place to acclimate. If there are wounds on the roots of the seedlings during division, the wounds need to be dried before potting them in moist soil.

2. How to transplant ground lotus

When transplanting a single plant of ground orchid, in order to increase the survival rate of the transplant, it is best to transplant it with the soil clump. When transplanting, mix decomposed organic fertilizer, or bean cake and bone meal as base fertilizer at the bottom of the pot. Then place the ground orchid with the soil lump in the flowerpot, fill and compact the gap between the flowerpot and the soil lump with soil, and water it thoroughly once to help it take root. Place the pot in a cool and ventilated place, and then gradually increase the light after a week. More sunlight is beneficial to the growth and flowering of the plant.

Ground nasturtium likes warmth and is afraid of cold. It can be planted in the ground in the south, but can only be planted in pots in the north. Moreover, the growth rate of ground nasturtium is relatively fast, so the potting soil must be replaced once a year, and the pot should be one size larger each time.
