As long as you raise an arrow lotus at 4 o'clock, the leaves are big and thick, and they bloom every year, nearly a hundred at a time.
Lotus is a cactus plant with big, long and thick leaves. We often see many people's lotus flowers on the Internet. If there are dozens of flowers on a branch and dozens of flowers in a pot, it is possible to open hundreds of flowers at a time, but we must use the right method to raise them well. Actually, it's very simple to raise the arrow lotus. As long as it is done, there is basically no problem. It is no problem to let it bloom nearly a hundred flowers at a time, and it can bloom every year.
Mix the soil at point 1
The growth of plants is inseparable from the care of the soil. Plants want to blossom without roots to absorb nutrients and water from the soil. If you don't mix the soil well, the roots will rot and the growth will be weak. Therefore, it is very simple to mix the soil of Lingjian Lotus with the soil with good air permeability and water permeability and containing nutrients. We can cultivate with half granular soil and half nutrient soil. Granular soil can be cultivated with cinder and volcanic rocks. Peat soil and humus soil can be used as nutrient soil for particles of 3~6 mm such as iridescent stones, and as long as they contain nutrients, thoroughly fermented soil is enough. After the mixture is prepared according to the ratio of 1: 1, it is very good for this cactus plant with developed root system and easy root rot.
The second point is to keep up with fertilization.
In the early stage, the lotus leaves are long, the new leaves grow small, or the leaves born in the same year are thin, so they will not bloom. What we need to do is to raise enough leaves in a pot of lotus leaves to make them grow as big as possible. It blooms from old leaves and leaves that have grown for a year, so we should raise enough leaves in the early stage to make them big enough. This fertilizer is rich in nitrogen and other elements. This can promote it to grow branches and leaves quickly, and the root system is also very developed. If only nitrogen fertilizer is applied, the root system of its leaves will be weak and will not grow in the later stage. Therefore, we should choose a slow-release fertilizer with high nitrogen content and other elements, and apply it to him 2~3 times a month, so that the surface of the basin soil is sprinkled with multi-element slow-release fertilizers, so that all nutrients will not be lost and the leaves will grow bigger and bigger, until the next spring.
The third point is light.
Because most cactus plants like light very much, such as arrow Ye Lian and epiphyllum, the more sufficient light, the greater the possibility of flower bud differentiation, the larger the flowers will be, and the deeper the color will be. Therefore, the lily of the arrow should be placed in the place with the most abundant light all year round, with insufficient light, thin leaves, light color and thin growth. In the flowering season, if it is rare,
The last point is to water. Cactus plants don't need much water, but just because they are drought-resistant, doesn't mean they don't need water. It likes water, too. We raise lotus flowers, and the principle of watering is that the soil is dry enough to make it permeable during the growth period, and it is not watered during the dormancy period to ensure that it is dry enough. Its roots are not damaged, and it absorbs water quickly, grows leaves quickly and blooms quickly, so it should not be short of water.
Holding the arrow lotus is as simple as that. If you keep it like this according to Qi's instructions, its leaves will grow a lot and grow big enough in one year. Wait until the next spring, we will supplement him with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to let him differentiate flower buds. The premise is that the small leaves should be pinched off for him, which will only increase the consumption of nutrients and lead to no flowering. Only the big leaves that grew last year are kept, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are supplemented. Don't be short of water and fertilizer, it will split the bud immediately, and then bloom and burst the pot. There will be dozens of flowers on a leaf, and a pot placed completely there will bring nearly a hundred bloom flowers. There is no problem at all.
