Characteristics of Lotus

1. Appearance characteristics

The lotus is an aquatic flower. Its roots grow horizontally and can take root in the mud of rivers and ponds. Its stem is relatively long and thick and can grow above the water surface. The leaves are round, emerald green, with a diameter between 25-90cm, and can float on the water. Its flowers bloom above the water surface, with a diameter of 10-20cm. They come in a variety of colors such as pink and white, and are very beautiful.

2. Habits and Characteristics

It usually takes root, sprouts, and then grows gradually in spring. It starts to bloom from June to September. Its flowers begin to bloom in the morning, but close automatically at night and will not open again until the next day. It usually starts to bear fruit in August, and the fruits will mature in September or October.

3. Breeding characteristics

When growing lotus, you need to place it in a relatively warm location and provide sufficient sunlight. Because it likes warmth and light, if the temperature does not reach 20℃ and the light time does not reach 4 hours, it basically cannot bloom. When maintaining it, you should also put some bottom mud into the water to allow it to take root and provide some nutrients.
