1. Is it possible to grow lotus with tubers?

In a previous article, My Garden shared how to grow lotus seeds with seeds to help the plant stay healthy and produce the most beautiful flowers. After that article, some readers asked if it is possible to grow lotus flowers with bulbs?

Respond immediately to readers and you can grow it! Even growing lotus with bulbs is simpler, flowers earlier and the plant is stronger than growing lotus with seeds. Although it has not been thoroughly researched, it can be understood that this stems from the following reasons:

  • Lotus root is inherently a part of the old lotus plant, has sprouts and roots, so it is easy to live.

  • If lotus roots know how to incubate and nurture them, they will germinate faster, thereby flowering sooner.

  • Lotus roots will of course not be flat like seeds.

  • Lotus roots germinate more easily than seeds, and the plants grow faster and stronger.

And one more reason is, lotus root readers can absolutely buy at the market or simply dig in ponds and lakes when living in the countryside. No need to order lotus seeds online.

Normally, after about a week, lotus leaves will appear and you can start growing lotus bulbs right now. The simple steps are as follows:

  • When preparing to plant lotus, you already have mud.

  • Take the lotus root that has sprouted and has leaves and gently press the lotus root under the mud. Be careful not to stuff the lotus roots too hard or stuff them all into the mud. This will cause the lotus roots to become waterlogged and rot.

  • Take a pin and clamp down on the lotus root so it doesn't float up.

  • You can add fertilizer after 1 month, and add more water when the lotus pot runs out of water.

  • Planting lotus with tubers takes about 2-3 months to have flowers.
