Can bowl lotus be hydroponically cultivated?

Bowl lotus can be grown in water, and it can also be grown in soil. If it relies solely on water culture, the plant can grow at the beginning, but due to the lack of nutrients, it cannot absorb substances well, which will lead to slow growth and high mortality rate. Therefore, most people still choose to grow it in soil.

Water culture of lotus and its key points

1. Choice of container: When growing water lilies in water, you need to choose a light-proof container. Because water lilies are dark-loving plants and can carry out biological activities in a dark environment, you need to choose a light-proof container for hydroponic water lilies.

2. Fix the roots: When growing water lilies in water, it will be ugly if the plants float, so the roots need to be fixed. You can spread coarse sand under the container or use granular stones to fix the roots, which can also play a protective role.

Precautions for growing lotus in water

1. Add nutrient solution: During the hydroponic culture of water lilies, there are no nutrients in the clean water. It is necessary to add nutrient solution once a week to provide sufficient nutrients for the growth of water lilies.

2. Changing water: During the growth period of the bowl lotus, the plant grows very fast and the water needs to be changed every 3 to 5 days. Try to get sufficient sunlight every day to ensure that the bowl lotus has a good growth environment.
