What to do after the lotus blooms

1. Specific period

The flowering period of this plant is concentrated from July to September. So, after September, it is the period after it blooms.

2. Specific practices

(1) About fertilization: After the plant blooms, it will definitely consume a lot of nutrients. In order to ensure sufficient nutrients for subsequent growth and fruiting, we need to supplement some artificially. Generally speaking, some fertilizers rich in P and K elements can be applied.

(2) Regarding the results: After the lotus blooms, it has probably been pollinated and will soon produce lotus pods. In most cases, the lotus root will start to grow if you strive to grow it left and right. Therefore, during this period, the lotus stems must not be filled with water. Otherwise, the lotus root may rot.

(3) Regarding temperature: We have already talked about the specific period after flowering above. So, during this period, the temperature will gradually drop and winter will soon arrive. Therefore, we can do some anti-cold treatment in advance to help it safely survive the period of low temperature. For example, if it is a potted plant, you can place it indoors. If not, you can bury it beneath the permafrost.

(4) About pests and diseases: After the plants have bloomed, they may be troubled by pests and diseases. At this time, we need to pay attention. If relevant symptoms are found, we must deal with them in time to avoid causing major damage.
