How to grow golden lotus

Fertilization

When growing nasturtiums, appropriate fertilizers are needed. During the growth period, not too much nitrogen fertilizer should be used, as this will cause its branches and leaves to grow too long and the flowers to be poor, small and light in color. Generally, fertilization is required once a month, and the concentration should not be too strong. Before flowering, one or two applications of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are needed, so that the flowers will be brighter when they bloom. After flowering, you can apply quick-acting fertilizer twice, and the next flowering will be better.

Watering

When growing nasturtiums, it is important to water them in the right amount. It has a relatively high demand for water, but watering is still necessary. When watering daily, do not water too often or use too much water, especially after the flowers have faded, so as to avoid the plant growing too vigorously and affecting the differentiation of flower buds, resulting in poor flowering. Less watering is needed at this time.

Pot soil

Suitable potting soil is the key to the growth of nasturtium. If the soil is not chosen appropriately, it will not be able to supply enough nutrients to the nasturtium, which will result in poor flowering, small flowers and dull colors, etc. When choosing soil, you need loose, fertile and well-drained soil, which is usually made of leaf mold, garden soil and base fertilizer.

illumination

Nasturtium is a plant that likes light, and light is an important condition for its good flowering. Insufficient or uneven light during cultivation will cause poor plant growth, reduce ornamental value, and affect flowering. When growing nasturtiums, they need to be placed in a well-lit place in spring and autumn, and also kept in sufficient light in winter.
