2008, ordered seeds to sprout successfully over several years MOCK adults. However, they did not blossom, and one winter butcher block paper neperžiemojo. We had to start all over again from the beginning: to order seeds, grind the shell, to sow. Seedlings grow successfully. But in the first year, they rarely bloom.
So, I decided to speed up the process - pasiieškoti already paaugusi rhizomes. Of course, it makes sense to look at our closest neighbors, living under similar climatic conditions. Unfortunately, the neighboring countries online shops lotus root-found, the nearest farm was selling them in Germany. Long did consider ordered.
Pouch was packed, wrapped in newsprint. Depreciation - the same crumpled newsprint. DHL delivered a consignment within five days. Previously download only worried because the literature I found information on the lotus rhizome buds are very fragile and easily breaks off the side they do not sleep in the bud. Thus, failure of sending the whole rhizome, deprived of growth butcher block paper point, just supūtų.
Unpack the package, butcher block paper do not put off planting. Lotuses planted in fertilized easy ground. butcher block paper Not suitable for coarse sand, gravel or heavy clay. Unsuitable impurities or peat land with nespėjusiomis rot organic particles lighter than water. The best of the lotus plant fertilizer easy loam.
Another point to remember that the cultivation of these plants only need to round containers. Lotus roots grow poorly in containers within angle to the angle of the growing bud stuffed able to get away and mostly nupūna.
Thus, the 40-50 liter plastic barrel - just. Fill with at least 10 cm in the ground, it is to moisten the mud-like consistency. Let's wait until the Earth išsiburbuliuos - it will come out all the accumulated air. This process was accelerated by mixing butcher block paper earth with water is not necessary.
After planting, if this was not done immediately, very carefully, it's easy stream fill the container with warm water. The optimum growth butcher block paper temperature of Lotus +24-28 C. Such temperature of the water and should be the active growing season. Of course, at night it can fall short even ten degrees, lotus easily tolerate such fluctuations.
Planting should be remembered that until the lotus rhizome will not actively grow in fertile ground leached nutrients causes massive algae growth. Usually algae accumulates on the surface of the water. They are easily removed by washing with warm water stream through the edge of the dish. Second-third sheet appears on the surface of the water, the lotus filled up all the space and to consume all the nutrients. Algae no longer exist.
Lotus flowers - very receptive to nutrients, crop shortages immediately showing modified leaves. Lack of iron chlorosis occurs immediately, trace - leaf deformation, nitrogen (it is the most important lotus) - leaf yellowing. However rich the land of options, butcher block paper often lotus have extra water to fertilize plants intended for fertilizer tablets. But the fertilizers and nutrients - the next time.
