Breeding method
Potting soil selection
It is best to choose a porcelain basin and glazed basin with water at the bottom. In addition, the size of the container is best between 25-35 cm and a depth of 20-25 cm.
River pond mud is the best soil for breeding bowl lotus. It is also possible to be rich in organic matter. The thickness of the soil layer is about 15 cm.
Sufficient light
Bowl lotus is a happy plant. It takes 7 or 8 hours a day for light time, so it must be sufficient for light, and it cannot be placed indoors for a long time.
Control water

Too much water will hinder the growth of young roots and cause rotten roots; when the leaves grow up, they gradually irrigate water; pour water once in the morning and evening in the morning and evening.
Water should be dried for 1-2 days to make the water temperature appropriate, and the water quality should be paid attention to, otherwise it will easily cause germs infection and affect growth.
Appropriate fertilization
Bowl lotus is like fertilizer, so cooked bean cakes, beans, etc. should be added to the potting soil before cultivation. When the leaves are raw, potassium fertilizer can be added to promote the formation of flower buds. However, the amount of fertilizer should be controlled, not too much. If the fertilization is excessive, change the water to dilute the fat.

In the process of family breeding bowl lotus, especially when the initial cultivation, be sure to protect the top buds of the bowl of lotus, and do not damage. Otherwise, it will hinder normal growth, slow development, and even cause rot.
prune
Excessive leaf volume will affect permeability, so when the leaves grow too much, the leaves should be removed appropriately. Timely treatment of diseased leaves and dead leaves are also conducive to the healthy and flowing growth of bowl lotus.
