How to water the beautiful leaf lotus

Watering in summer and autumn

These two seasons are the periods of its most vigorous growth, so the demand for water is also very high. Water should be stored in the leaf cup every 4 to 5 days, and make sure there is water in the leaf cup at all times; water the plant about once every 2 weeks, and make sure the medium is always kept in a super moist state.

Watering in winter

The amount of water lost in winter is relatively small, so you only need to store water in the leaf cup for about 2 weeks. If the medium is dry, water it again. At this time, an overly moist medium can easily cause the roots of the plant to rot.

Why does the leaf cup have water?

If the roots are injured due to maintenance problems, or if there are no roots, it will continue to grow normally as long as there is water in the leaf cup. Therefore, it is very important to ensure that there is always water in the leaf cup during daily maintenance.

Water Quality

Be sure to choose water with a low salt content, the lower the better. If the salt content is high, the leaves will lose their luster. Over a long period of time, diseases will occur and their absorption of nutrients will be hindered.

Water is very important for the Beautiful Leaf Glechoma, so it is best to make a simple plan before watering. Don’t water it when you remember and let it dry out when you don’t remember. This is not good for growing plants.
