How does the lotus spread its seeds? Understand the dispersal method in one article
The lotus spreads its seeds by water. The specific method is that when the lotus flower fades and produces seeds, the leaf stalk withers and breaks off, falling into the water; after drifting and soaking in the water, the seeds fall into the soil, and finally germinate and grow leaves in a suitable environment.
What are the methods of lotus propagation?
1. Seed propagation: In fact, seed propagation is the most commonly used method for growing lotus at home. The specific method is relatively simple: just soak the cracked seeds in water and change the water often; they will sprout in about a week, and once they root in two weeks they can be transplanted. When transplanting, note that the water layer should be shallow, the lotus leaves should be exposed outside, and with a little care, they can bloom in the same year.
2. Lotus rhizome division propagation: The prerequisite for lotus rhizome division propagation is that you have a mature lotus. Mid-March to mid-April is the best time for dividing the rhizomes, as the temperature is suitable at this time and the seed rhizomes will not be frostbitten due to low temperatures.
The above is the relevant introduction to how the lotus spreads its seeds. We hope it is helpful to everyone.
