How to water and fertilize ginger lotus?

About watering

How to water when planting

Although this flower is not a lotus, its growth is also highly dependent on water. When they are first planted, you must ensure a certain amount of water. Only with enough water can they germinate on time. If there is not enough water, it is likely to delay germination and flowering, so it is best to water and moisturize them.

How to water during the growing season

Although the plant does not need as much water as when the seeds are germinating during the period of better growth, the leaves are more sensitive to water and the soil must be kept moist. However, water cannot be allowed to accumulate in the soil during this period. Once water accumulates, it will easily prevent the roots from breathing. If the roots cannot breathe well, it can easily lead to root rot or even death of the whole plant, so when watering, just water the top and do not water too much.

About fertilization

How to use fertilizer during the growth period

After it sprouts, flowering, bulb hypertrophy and the germination of the next generation of new buds basically occur at the same time, so the amount of fertilizer needed during the entire development period is very large. Basic fertilizer should be added before planting, and topdressing should also be done during the planting process. In the good growth stage, topdressing can be done once every 20 days. If some trace elements are added, the flowers will bloom better and the color will be brighter.

How to use fertilizer during dormancy

Once they enter dormancy, no more fertilizer is needed. Because the roots will not absorb nutrients during this period, but if you "force" them to apply nutrients, new shoots may grow. However, this period is generally quite cold, and new buds cannot survive and will be frostbitten. So, don't use fertilizers on them during this period. When using fertilizers, be sure to water them so that they can be absorbed better.
