Legend about Lotus 6: Lotus repay the kindness of nurturing. A long time ago, the area around Xunhe River was sparsely populated. There is an old man named Zhang who lives by fishing. I have no wife, but I have a one-year-old son. On this day, the old man came fishing again. Suddenly, he saw flowers rising from the river. Soon, a bamboo tube came out, and a child was crying inside.
Lao Zhangman threw down the fishing net and fished out the bamboo tube. He stopped fishing and ran home with a bamboo tube in his arms.
He carefully cut open the bamboo tube and saw a very small baby girl inside, very cute. He picked up a son and a daughter today, let alone how happy he is.
From then on, the boss's eldest sister-in-law gave her a hug, and Aunt Xi nursed her, so the two children grew up. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, my brother and sister are so beautiful!
Especially my little sister, whose pink face is like a hibiscus, has a sweet voice, and the lark can't compare with her.
It turns out that this baby girl is a lotus fairy. Because she did something wrong, the Jade Emperor sent her to the world to be reborn.
One day, the lotus fairy suddenly said to Zhang Laohan, Dad, I'm leaving you. Brother, you should take good care of our father. ? Father doesn't know why she said that.

Method for raising seedlings of lotus seeds
First, break the shell. In May and June, the concave ends of the seeds are ground on the cement floor or rough stones, and the seeds are soaked to raise seedlings. Keep the water clear, change the water frequently, germinate in a week or so, take root and transplant two weeks later, one plant in each pot. The water layer should be shallow and the lotus leaves should not be submerged in the water. About 90% can blossom that year, but there are not many flowers that year.
Separate lotus planting
Mid-March to mid-April is the best time to turn over the lotus root. Premature planting will be affected by cold current, and lotus roots are easy to freeze. The northern region can be covered with transparent agricultural film in case of cold current. The soil should be mushy before planting. When planting, the top end of lotus root is inserted into the mud at an angle of 20 degrees along the basin edge, and the depth of bowl lotus is about 5 cm. Da Lian is about 10 cm deep, with low head and high tail. The tail is half cocked to prevent the tail of the lotus root from entering the water. After planting, put the flowerpot in the sun to make the surface soil slightly crack, so as to facilitate the complete adhesion of lotus root and soil, then add a small amount of water, gradually deepen the water level after the buds grow, and finally maintain a water layer of 3-5 cm. In the early stage of pond planting, the water layer is the same as that of potted flowers, and the lotus leaves are not submerged in the later stage.
Space breeding
In July, 1994, 442 seeds from Guangchang An Baili were carried on the recoverable satellite 940703 in cooperation with Institute of Genetics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. They stayed in space for 355 hours and 35 minutes, and successfully returned to Earth after 238 laps. After screening and cultivation, many varieties such as space lotus 1, 2, 3 and 36 were formed. In 2002 and 2006, Guangchang An Baili won the championship again? Shenzhou IV? Spaceship, carrying the breeding satellite Shijian-8, and then going into space. Among them, the single canopy of Space Lotus 36 can bear about 22 seeds, and 100 seeds can weigh about 100 grams, so it is known as the best lotus seed variety. Is it necessary to cultivate space lotus? Level three? ：
1. Radiation removal: Lotus seeds in space are carried into space by recyclable spacecraft. In the environment of strong radiation, microgravity, high vacuum and weak geomagnetic field, most seeds will die, and only a few seeds can survive. Only the surviving seeds can become space lotus after genetic changes.
2. Screening: Because the genetic mutation of plant seeds in space is non-directional, it may be good or bad. After returning to the earth, according to the breeding objectives and flowering conditions, the excellent qualities such as large flowers, bright colors, beautiful shapes and long flowering periods were retained, thus producing an alternative space lotus.
Third, stability: after several years of repeated screening, excellent tissues are continuously selected from each generation of lotus for culture, and strains with unstable genes are eliminated. Finally, the lotus with excellent genes and stable heredity can be determined as a new variety.
Cultivation techniques and water quality of lotus
Lotus is an aquatic plant. During its growing period, it can't live without water all the time. At the initial stage of growth, the water layer should be controlled at about 3 cm, and the water is too deep to raise the soil temperature. If you use tap water, you'd better put it in another jar and dry it for a day or two before using it. Summer is the peak of lotus growth, so there is no shortage of water in the basin. After winter, the pot soil should also be kept moist to prevent the lotus root from drying up due to lack of water.
Fertilize soil or land
The fertilizer of lotus is mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, supplemented by nitrogen fertilizer. If the soil is fertile, there is no need to fertilize all the year round. Rotten cake fertilizer and chicken, duck and goose manure are the most ideal fertilizers. Small pots can only be applied half, and large pots can only be applied 1-2 at most. Never apply more, but mix it with the soil. In the vigorous growth period, if the leaves are found to be yellow and thin, 0? 5 grams of urea was mixed in the mud, kneaded into a ball of about 10 gram, and applied to the soil in the center of each basin for 7 days.
live through the winter
After winter, put the basin indoors or under frozen soil. The area north of the Yellow River should be covered with agricultural film except under frozen soil, and the soil in the basin should be kept moist throughout winter.
The main value of lotus is edible.

The underground stem of lotus grows in silt and will be infected by toxic substances. Because the extremely fine epidermis tissue and tannin-containing lower epidermis of lotus root have certain barrier or absorption ability to toxic substances, most toxic substances adhere to or penetrate into the epidermis. Peel the lotus root when eating to prevent toxic substances from being eaten in the stomach.

In the history of Dutch culture in China, the form of potted lotus was originally used for private courtyard viewing. Nowadays, potted lotus is widely used in gardens all over China. The combination of potted plants and pond planting improves the ornamental value of potted lotus, which often appears in garden waterscape and garden sketches.

the art of inserting flowers
Chinese flower arrangement began in the Six Dynasties and originated from offering flowers before the Buddha. As the sacred flower of Buddhism, it can be said that arranging flowers facilitates the lotus to form an indissoluble bond when it rises.
