How to water blue stone lotus

Basic principles of watering blue stone lotus

The way to water blue stone lotus is still the old tradition: water it thoroughly when it is dry.

Generally, the soil in the pot will be basically dry in 7 to 10 days. After watering it directly and soaking it, the water will leak out from the holes at the bottom of the pot, which can play a role in flushing and oxygenating. Keep your hands to yourself and wait until the water is completely dry before watering!

Factors affecting watering of blue stone lotus

Watering blue stone lotus is a technical job. Practice makes perfect. After a long time, you will master the watering skills according to the local climate, housing conditions, and the growth habits of succulents.

Local climate: When the weather is clear and there is plenty of sunshine, the watering cycle can be shortened appropriately, watering once every 5 to 7 days.

Indoor environment: When the environment is dry, spray water in time. Even blue stone lotus cannot tolerate an environment that is so dry that it causes nosebleeds.

Paving stones: Spreading a layer of sand on the soil surface has three main benefits: it looks beautiful, it can stabilize the soil, prevent erosion by watering, and prevent insects from disturbing the soil surface.
