How to grow Buddha lotus

spring

In spring, the Buddha Lotus is in its growing period and requires sufficient sunlight to ensure that the leaves are thick and full and the plant shape is compact. Do not water it too much, about once every 15 days will be enough.

summer

After May, the Buddha Lotus stops growing and enters a summer dormant period. At this time, the Buddha Lotus can be placed under the corridor or inside the balcony to absorb scattered light, maintain good ventilation, and prevent it from being rained on.

In summer, watering should be done once every 4 or 5 days, avoiding the hottest time at noon. If the leaves wilt due to lack of water, you can spray the leaves and keep the environment moist, but avoid water accumulation in the pot.

Fertilization should be stopped in summer to avoid plant rot due to heat, humidity and waterlogging in the soil.

autumn

Autumn, like spring, is the growing season for the Buddha Lotus. At this time, you only need to maintain the same maintenance habits as in spring.

winter

In winter, the Buddha Lotus should be placed in a sunny place, and the night temperature should be kept no lower than 5℃ and the day temperature should be kept above 15℃ so that the plant can continue to grow and can be watered normally.

If you control watering, keep the soil dry, and stop fertilizing to allow the plant to enter a dormant period, then the Buddha Lotus can also tolerate temperatures as low as 0℃.
