What are the care methods after bowl lotus sprouts?
Keeping a plant of flowers and plants indoors is a rare pleasure. After tea and meals, a wisp of delicate fragrance drifts over, making one feel relaxed and happy. Among these flowers and trees suitable for indoor planting, there is a particularly fresh and lovely plant——the bowl lotus. Here we will introduce this plant.
I. What is the bowl lotus
The bowl lotus usually refers to the small and medium-sized types of lotus. It is also known as basin lotus, bowl lotus, and so on. It belongs to the water lily family and is distributed throughout our country, but the kind produced in Suzhou is the most famous. The bowl lotus has large, bright flowers and a far-reaching delicate fragrance, just as Zhou Dunyi said in “On the Love of the Lotus,” “It emerges from the mud yet is unstained, and is washed in clear ripples yet is not seductive.” Since ancient times, it has been a precious aquatic flower of palace gardens and private courtyards.
II. How to care for bowl lotus after it sprouts
Sprouting bowl lotus is also very simple. Just soak the lotus seeds in water for a few days and they will sprout. But after the lotus seeds sprout, many people instead become flustered. How should they be planted? Where should they be placed? Here we will introduce this.
After the bowl lotus sprouts, it needs more growing space, so it can be transplanted into a container with a larger diameter for planting in place. Within three days of planting in place is the recovery period, and it can be placed indoors in a ventilated, cool place with scattered light. After three days, move it outdoors to care for it in sunlight, changing the water once every 3-5 days to keep the water clean.
The above is some small knowledge about the bowl lotus. Although planting is very troublesome, once the bowl lotus blooms, the whole indoor space will gain a touch of brightness, as if some joy has been added to ordinary, unremarkable days. Let us plant a flower together and let the flower bring surprises.
