Maintenance methods and precautions of the beautiful leaf light calyx lotus

Maintenance method of beautiful leaf light calyx lotus

soil

The beautiful-leaved light-calyx lotus likes loose soil, a relatively stable soil structure, and a slightly acidic substrate with good drainage. Usually we can mix perlite with peat soil in a ratio of 1:10, and it needs to be disinfected with 100 times formaldehyde solution before use.

temperature

The suitable growth temperature for the beautiful-leaved light-calyx lotus is between 21 and 28 degrees during the day, and 18 to 21 degrees at night. Remember that the maximum temperature cannot exceed 35 degrees, and the minimum temperature cannot be lower than 15 degrees. If the temperature is too low, the leaves may lose color and become scorched, and the entire plant may even die. During the seedling stage of the plant, the suitable temperature is between 20 and 25 degrees. After three months, you can slightly increase the temperature difference between day and night.

illumination

The beautiful-leaved light-calyx lotus is not suitable for strong light, but it also needs appropriate light. If the light is insufficient, the plant will lack color and the flowers will grow too tall. If the light is too strong, it will cause spots on the leaves or even burns. So we can make full use of this light in the morning, evening and on cloudy days.

Moisture

The beautiful-leaved light-calyx lotus needs water with a relatively low salt content. Normally, as long as there is water, the growth of the plant will not be affected. But in the summer you need to water it more often, generally water the leaf cup once every 4 to 4 days and water the soil once every 15 days.

Precautions

The beautiful-leaved light-calyx lotus usually needs to be repotted after about four months of planting, which is more conducive to its growth. In addition, during its growth process, the yellow and dry old leaves need to be cleaned up in time, which can promote its better growth and reduce nutrient waste.
