Can lotus be exposed to rain? What are the water requirements of lotus?

1. Can it be exposed to rain?

Lotus can be exposed to rain. It is an aquatic flower and cannot grow without water. The lotus in the lotus pond in the natural environment is also exposed to the sun, so proper rain will not affect its growth. On the contrary, it is more beneficial to the growth of lotus. It can provide flowing water and wash the leaves. If it is usually grown in the courtyard, there is no need to worry when it rains. If the lotus has just been transplanted, it is best not to leave it in heavy rain. The impact of heavy rain may damage the lotus, thus affecting its growth and causing growth problems. Appropriate rain protection is needed.

1. Water volume: When watering the lotus, you need to pay attention to the water volume. You don’t need to fill it with too much water. The water level can be a certain distance away from the edge of the water tank. Do not let the leaves be soaked in water to prevent the leaves from rotting.

2. Water quality: If you maintain it at home, you can use tap water that has been left to stand and dry, or you can use lake water, pond water, or rainwater. The requirements in this regard are not high, but do not use polluted water.

3. Water temperature: The water temperature should be kept appropriate, roughly equivalent to room temperature. Especially pay attention to not using too cold water in winter.
