Lotus leaves, the slender green in the lotus pond in summer, always make people feel happy. If you want to have a lotus pond at home, maintaining lotus leaves is a science. Don't worry, I'll come here today to teach you how to raise lotus leaves green and beautiful! 1. Choose the right soil to lay a solid foundation for the lotus leaf.
The roots of the lotus leaf like fertile and well-drained soil. You can choose lake mud or humus leaf soil. These two soils are rich in nutrients and are very suitable for lotus leaf growth. Remember, the soil should be soft so that the roots of the lotus leaf can breathe better. 2. Adequate light allows the lotus leaf to bloom.
The lotus leaf is a sunshine baby. It likes enough light. Place the lotus leaves outdoors or on the balcony with at least 8 hours of light a day. However, when the sun is strong in summer, remember to shade the lotus leaves to avoid sunburn. 3. Water scientifically and keep lotus leaves fresh.
Lotus leaves like a humid environment, but they cannot accumulate water. The initial water level can be controlled at 3-5 centimeters. As the lotus leaves grow, the water level can be increased appropriately, but it is best not to exceed 16 centimeters. Remember to choose clean water without impurities for watering and keep the water clean. 4. Reasonable fertilization to help lotus leaves grow healthily. Fertilization is the key to the growth of lotus leaves. Before putting lotus leaves into pots, you can mix appropriate amount of base fertilizer into the soil to improve soil fertility. During the growing season, nutrient solution can be added to the water regularly to promote the growth of roots and leaves. But be careful not to apply fertilizer at high or low temperatures to avoid fertilizer damage. 5. Pest and pest control, protect the health of lotus leaves. Lotus leaves are vulnerable to pests and diseases such as black spot. Once diseased leaves are found, they must be removed in time, and when severe, they can be replaced with soil and replanted. For the control of pests and diseases, pesticides such as chlorothalonil can be used, and the effect is good. 6. Temperature management, so that lotus leaves are like spring all year round. The suitable temperature for lotus leaves to grow is between 20-30 degrees. Pay attention to cooling down in summer and keep warm in winter. If the temperature is too low, lotus leaves may stop growing or even suffer from freezing damage. 7. Trim and shape to keep the lotus leaves beautiful. Lotus leaves grow rapidly and need regular pruning. Pruning is carried out every spring and autumn to remove pests, diseases and dead leaves to maintain a good ecological environment. The pruned lotus leaves will be more beautiful and have higher ornamental value. 8. Tillering reproduction makes the lotus pond more lively. Lotus leaves can be reproduced through tillering. Select healthy lotus leaves, separate them from the mother plant, and plant them in new soil. Soon, you will be able to see new lotus leaves blooming in the lotus pond.
Maintaining lotus leaves is not difficult. As long as you master these skills, you can have a beautiful lotus pond at home. Come and give it a try to make your life more fresh and beautiful!
