The holy lotus grows best in a sunny and well-ventilated location. It needs to be exposed to sunlight for at least seven hours a day. If the light exposure time is insufficient, its flowering period will be shortened or even stop blooming. Therefore, it should be placed outdoors in spring, autumn and winter. It can be shaded in summer, but it needs to be placed in a place with scattered light.

The holy lotus will inevitably be threatened by pests and diseases during its growth, so preventive measures must be taken in the process of cultivating the holy lotus.
