Detailed guide to planting bowl lotus: add a little of this to the water, and it will bloom with vivid flowers year after year

Bowl lotus is delicate and lovely, with exquisite, charming blooms. Keep a pot at home and you can enjoy it at any time; it is a wonderful indoor decoration. Today we will talk about how to plant bowl lotus

If the bowl lotus seed lotus root we buy has a fresh wound or cut surface, be sure to note: do not soak it in water, as it easily rots. Leave it exposed outside the water until the wound tightens

When planting, the soil should just barely cover the seed lotus root; do not cover the new shoots, because covering the new shoots will also cause rot

When adding water, the water level should just barely submerge the new shoots. Once you see the bowl lotus new shoots growing, you can add water for it, letting the water submerge the new shoots, and gradually raise the water level. Once you see the leaves are large enough, stop raising the water level and let its leaves stay above the water surface. This is a maintenance process

For the soil for planting bowl lotus, I chose garden soil from the field, plus some cow manure as base fertilizer. When planting, be sure to soak it in water for a week, then pour the water out and replace it with fresh water

Generally, for planting bowl lotus, a container about 30 to 50 cm is enough. Be sure not to let it lack water; if it often lacks water, bowl lotus easily wilts and dies

Bowl lotus is a plant that likes warmth and light. Put the flowerpot in a sunny spot. Receiving 8 hours of light every day can promote more flower buds and continuous blooming
