How does the white lotus bloom?

The habit of this plant

Only by understanding its habits first can we know what to do to help it bloom. First of all, it has a relatively large demand for light. In fact, we also know from common sense that if we want it to bloom, light is an absolutely indispensable aspect. The second thing is temperature. Maintaining a temperature suitable for its growth and development is also very helpful for its blooming. Another thing is water. It doesn’t require a lot of water, but it cannot be lacking either. Then there is the soil. The quality of the soil is also very important.

Specific methods

Light: For this factor, we can adjust it according to the specific season. In spring and autumn, these two stages are the vigorous growth period of it. If you want it to bloom, you must pay special attention to these two periods and give it full sun. In the summer, it will enter a slight dormant period, so just shade it at this time.

Temperature: Normally, a temperature between fifteen and twenty degrees is more suitable for its growth, especially in spring. At this time, its side buds burst out particularly quickly, and the pot will burst quickly. Also, in winter, the temperature cannot be lower than five degrees Celsius, otherwise, not to mention the pots bursting, it will be difficult to ensure normal wintering.

Water: There is a general principle to follow when watering, which is to wait until the soil is completely dry before watering. If it is not dry, do not water. One thing you need to pay attention to in the summer is not to water too much. Four to five times throughout the summer is enough. Otherwise, too much water can easily cause it to rot, not to mention bursting the pot.

Soil: We can choose perlite mixed with peat as planting soil, which can provide sufficient nutrients and help it bloom.
