Radish lotus cultivation methods and precautions

Radish lotus is actually very easy to grow. First, prepare suitable potting soil, preferably loose, breathable, water-retaining and fertilizer-retaining soil. Provide sufficient light conditions every day to promote flower bud differentiation. Keep the potting soil moist when watering, and do not cause water accumulation. Apply decomposed liquid fertilizer once a week during the growth period, and stop applying before flowering.

How to grow radish lotus

When cultivating radish lotus, suitable soil should be provided, which can be a mixture of humus, leaf mold, ash, river sand, and compost. As it grows, the pot and soil should be changed regularly. Radish lotus likes fertilizer, so a small amount of base fertilizer should be applied when changing the pot and soil. Fertilize once every ten days to half a month in the later growth period. Water regularly during the growing season to keep the soil moist and control the amount of watering. When cultivating, it should be placed in a sunny place with sufficient light exposure and shade should be provided in summer.

1. Soil selection

When cultivating radish lotus, it is necessary to provide suitable soil to ensure good basic conditions for growth. The soil preparation method is relatively simple. It can be mixed with humus soil, leaf mold, furnace ash, river sand, and compost. This kind of soil is more suitable for the growth of radish lotus. After the soil is prepared, it can be sterilized at high temperature. As the radish lotus grows, a more suitable flower pot should be replaced.

2. Reasonable fertilization

Radish lotus likes fertilizer very much, and it should be kept with sufficient fertilizer during growth, so as to provide nutrition and promote growth. Apply a small amount of base fertilizer when changing pots and soil, and fertilize once every ten days or half a month in the later growth period. Use thin fertilizer. The growth rate is slow in summer and winter, so you can reduce or stop fertilizing.

3. Water appropriately

Radish lotus is relatively drought-resistant and does not require too much water during its growth, but it cannot be in a state of drought. It needs to be watered regularly during the growing season to keep the soil moist. The amount of watering should be controlled and there should not be too much water accumulation.

4. Sunlight exposure

Radish lotus likes a sunny environment. When it is cultivated, it should be placed in a sunny place to maintain sufficient light exposure to meet its light needs. Although it likes light, it avoids direct sunlight and needs to be shaded in summer.

Radish lotus maintenance precautions

There are many things to pay attention to when growing radish lotus. For example, you need to keep it warm in winter, ventilate it regularly during the growing period, and do not place it in a place with too high humidity, otherwise it will easily affect flowering and the flower stalks will rot. Special attention should be paid to preventing and controlling diseases and pests.
