How to grow snow lotus

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: Loose, humus-rich soil should be used to grow snow lotus. In addition, the soil should have good drainage to avoid plant rot due to water accumulation.

2. Water: Water it in time during its growth period. It is very drought-resistant and the soil in the pot should not be kept dry for a long time. However, you cannot over-water, and water cannot accumulate in the potting soil.

3. Light: It needs to receive light in moderation, but it should not be exposed to strong sunlight. Take shade measures in midsummer.

2. Breeding Methods

Propagation by division: Use tools to cut crosswise from the bottom of the scales to the top, and then disinfect. After disinfection, just plant them separately. About 3 months later, 1-2 small bulbs will grow on the bulb fragments.

3. Common diseases

1. Snow lotus can develop gray mold, which can harm flower buds and pedicels. Once discovered, you can spray with carbendazim to prevent and control it.

2. The main insect pest is the narcissus bulb fly, which affects the normal growth of the bulb and also affects flowering. After discovery, the bulbs should be dug out, dried in the sun for 3-5 weeks, then put into sacks and treated with hot water, and set aside after drying.
