Sowing time of bowl lotus:
There is no dormancy period for lotus seeds, as long as the water temperature can be maintained above 16 ℃, sowing can be carried out in all seasons. The lotus seeds need 50 to 60 days from sowing to flowering in spring and 60 to 80 days in autumn under suitable conditions of temperature and light.
Seed treatment of bowl lotus:
The shell of the lotus seed is hard and dense, and it must be artificially broken before soaking. The lotus seed has a small protrusion on one end and a small concave point on the other end. Grind the end with the small dimples on the rough concrete floor and wear a layer of skin, taking care not to hurt the kernels inside, nor to remove the shell. The purpose of microdermabrasion is to allow water to penetrate through this gap and make the seeds absorb water and swell. How to deal with the seeds of bowl lotus? There are many ways to deal with the end of the pit, the conventional methods are usually: ① grind off the seed coat on the cement floor. ② Use a vise to break. ③ Use a sharp knife to cut off a small piece of seed coat. ④ First soak for a few days, so that the seed coat becomes softer for better handling.
Seed germination of bowl lotus:
Immerse the broken seeds in warm water of about 20-40 degrees. When the water temperature is lower than 20 degrees, the seeds germinate and grow too slowly. A small amount of seeds can be placed in a thermos to keep warm. The speed of germination is also related to the temperature. At a temperature of 30 degrees, the germination can usually be germinated in 3-5 days after soaking the seeds, and the embryos extend from the broken. .
During this period, change the water every 1-2 days. Generally, as long as the seed coat can absorb water and swell, it can germinate. What are the precautions for soaking and germination of bowl lotus: ① If the temperature is low, you can use a thermos cup and 30 degrees warm water. If the temperature is above 20 degrees, you can soak indoor and outdoor. ② Change the water twice a day, I usually change it in the morning and evening at the same time; ③It is enough to submerge the water to the depth of the seed; Generally above 20 degrees, germinate from 3 days to a week.
