Can lotus bloom in winter? How to care for it in winter

1. Can it bloom in winter?

Lotus usually blooms in summer, with the most blooming period in midsummer. The time may vary, but the overall range is relatively fixed. The lotus has poor cold resistance, but the climate in South China is relatively warm, so even in winter, the temperature is relatively high and can be maintained above 0 degrees Celsius. Therefore, a greenhouse can be used to create climatic conditions suitable for flowering, keep the temperature above 20 degrees Celsius, and maintain sufficient sunlight, so that the lotus can bloom in winter. Although lotus can bloom in winter, it is difficult to achieve in ordinary households.

2. How to maintain in winter

1. Prune dead leaves: In autumn, the temperature will gradually drop, and the branches and leaves on the ground will wither and turn yellow. It is necessary to prune the above-ground parts in time and not leave them there any longer.

2. Normal maintenance: For the southern region, the temperature in winter is not very low, so there is no need to take warming measures. Just continue to place it in an open-air environment and give it normal maintenance.

3. Storage and maintenance: The climate in the north is relatively cold in winter. If the lotus continues to be left outdoors, it may be frozen to death. It can be moved indoors for maintenance, with the temperature maintained at around 0-10 degrees Celsius. It can also be moved to a cold cellar or pool for storage.
