How to grow beautiful lotus

1. Sunlight

It has a relatively high demand for sunlight, so when placing it on a daily basis, you need to choose a place with plenty of sunlight. If there is insufficient sunlight for a long time, it will easily cause the plant to become loose and sparse as a whole. At this time, it is almost impossible to see it bloom. So it is best to give it sufficient light all year round.

2. Moisture

This plant prefers to grow in a drier environment, and it can tolerate drought but not moisture. Therefore, when watering daily, you must first observe the soil, and water it when the soil is dry. There must never be water accumulation when watering, and the plants should not be kept in a humid environment for a long time. Reduce watering in winter.

3. Pruning

Although this plant does not require any pruning, the flower stems should be cut off in time after the flowers fade to prevent them from consuming nutrients and causing nutrient imbalance in the plant. At the same time, it can also maintain the beauty of the plant's leaves.

4. Temperature

When the temperature is too high in the summer, even if you don't deliberately cool it down, you must provide it with a good ventilation environment. This is very important. In winter, it can survive the winter in a temperature above 5 degrees, but this temperature refers to the temperature indoors. If it is 5 degrees outdoors in the north, it needs to be moved indoors. In addition, if you want it to bloom, you need to place it in a place with a temperature of about 10°C for a month before flowering, which will make it easier to bloom.

5. Nutrients

Its demand for nutrients is not high, so it only needs to be fertilized in spring and autumn, when the plant grows most vigorously, about once every 20 to 30 days. You can directly purchase special fertilizers or mix them yourself. If you are a novice in breeding, it is not recommended to mix it yourself. Fertilization can be suspended at other times.
