What are the cultivation methods and precautions of one-leaf lotus

Introduction of lotus

Aspidistra, also known as spider egg, belongs to the Liliaceae family. It prefers a warm growing environment. When reproducing, it generally adopts the method of division.

Division should be carried out in spring every year, and combined with repotting, the rhizomes and leaves should be cut and then planted separately.

How to cultivate lotus leaf

When caring for the Aspidistra plant, it needs sufficient sunlight, but avoid strong sunlight in the summer, and keep the temperature between 20-25 degrees, which is more conducive to its growth. It also needs to be repotted once in the spring of each year, and breathable slightly acidic soil needs to be used when planting.

Watering method

When the lotus is growing, the soil needs to be kept moist, and the amount of watering needs to be increased appropriately during the growth period. When watering, it is necessary to avoid moisture remaining on the leaves.

Fertilization method

Astragalus does not require much fertilizer, so you only need to apply an appropriate amount of fertilizer at normal times. However, during the growing season, it grows relatively fast, so you need to apply fertilizer once a month. In winter, you generally don't need to apply fertilizer.

Pruning methods

Astragalus membranaceus needs to be pruned during its growth process, which can adjust the growth balance of branches and leaves, allowing it to bloom and bear fruit normally, and can also improve ventilation conditions. The densely growing branches and leaves need to be thinned out.

Precautions for cultivating lotus

When caring for the water lily, you need to pay attention to the fact that it needs a good ventilation environment. If the environment is too humid, it will be infected with pests and diseases, which will affect its growth. In addition, it needs to be watered and fertilized appropriately during the maintenance period, otherwise it will affect the growth of the root system.
