How to grow lotus in summer

1. Proper watering

The temperature in summer is relatively high and water evaporates quickly, so it is necessary to replenish water in time. Don't let the soil dry out and water as soon as you notice it starting to dry out.

2. Reasonable fertilization

Lotus likes fertilizer, so you should fertilize it with thin fertilizers and apply them frequently. Do not use fertilizers with high concentrations, as this will easily burn its roots. It will then be unable to absorb nutrients, and will grow slowly or stop growing directly.

3. Suitable lighting

The summer sun can become very strong. Although it likes the sun, too strong sunlight will accelerate its withering. Take reasonable shading measures at noon to avoid exposing it to the scorching sun for a long time.

4. Prevention and control of pests and diseases

1. Diseases: Lotus is prone to leaf blight and rot in summer. When the disease occurs, the leaves will turn yellow or even wither. After the disease occurs, the diseased leaves should be cut off as soon as possible to prevent the bacteria from infecting more leaves.

2. Pests: Common pests are aphids and moths. If you find that the lotus is infested with insects, you should use pesticides to spray them.
