How to cultivate water lotus

Habits

If you don’t understand their basic habits, you will not be able to grow this flower well. Everyone understands this. They prefer a slightly lighter light position and cannot be kept in the shadow all the time. The air circulation around it must be good. It is relatively cold-resistant, but the stems and leaves will wither when it is too cold. But don't worry, this will not affect their normal opening in the second year.

Moisture

There must be a layer of water above the soil, otherwise they cannot grow. But after all, we don’t have a particularly large pool at home, so in summer, the water height can reach 25cm. However, this depth must be maintained for a long time and cannot fluctuate. Be careful when the temperature is high and make sure the water is clean. Change the water when necessary and remove any dirt from it.

Sunlight

This flower likes sunlight, so it usually blooms during the day and continues to "sleep" at night. If grown under the shade of a tree, the vitality of the flower is far less than the former.

temperature

As mentioned above, this bellflower is very cold-resistant and can spend the winter outdoors as long as the soil is not frozen. But if it is grown in a place that is subject to frost, just move it indoors where it will not freeze.

Fertilization

It is important to note that liquid fertilizer cannot be used for this type of flower. Many people are curious about why this kind of flowers that originally live in water cannot use liquid fertilizer. In fact, the reason is very simple. Once the water is polluted, it will make it difficult for them to survive. When using fertilizers, they must be placed in the soil under water. Usually there is no problem using dry cakes.
