I. Planting Time
It can be planted in all seasons, but the period around Qingming Festival, when the water temperature is relatively stable, is a better planting time. The water temperature needs to be maintained at around 16°C to ensure the bowl lotus survives smoothly. Too low water temperature will affect the growth and development of the bowl lotus.
II. Planting Methods
1. Seed Treatment
The shell of bowl lotus seeds is relatively hard, and some treatment is needed before soaking, which is to break the seed shell before soaking in water. Place the pointed end of the seed downward and grind the shell on the ground, being careful not to damage the inside of the seed and there's no need to remove the shell.
2. Soaking to Germinate
Soak the treated seeds in water at a temperature of 20°C to 30°C, changing the water three times a day. After a week, new sprouts will grow. Place the sprouted seeds in a sunny area, pay attention to adding water, and once they have grown fine roots and two or three young leaves, they can be planted.
3. Timely Planting
Place the seeds in the soil with the roots downward and add water to a depth of 5-15 cm, keeping the leaves above the water surface.
4. Subsequent Maintenance
Place the bowl lotus in a well-lit area. When the light is too intense, add shading to the bowl lotus to prevent sunburn on the seedlings. Increase the water volume as the bowl lotus grows, and when fertilizing, it's best to use decomposed oil residue or soybean cakes.
