Can the mountain lotus leaf flower be grown at home?

1. Can it be domesticated?

It can be kept at home. Although it is native to the plateau, it has strong adaptability to plains and is not toxic. However, it is now a national protected plant, so it is not easy to keep it at home, and many procedures need to be completed. In addition, to be on the safe side, it is not recommended to keep it at home to avoid causing harm to the plants.

2. How to raise

1. Soil: When growing, you should use soil with good air permeability and water release properties, and prepare larger flower pots. Or it is better to grow it directly in the soil on the balcony, which should grow better than potted plants.

2. Watering: No matter which maintenance method is used, a moist soil environment must be ensured and water must be poured thoroughly. Once drought occurs, it may lead to the death of the plant.

3. Light: It does not require much light to grow, so it is usually placed in semi-shade. In summer, it needs to be shaded to avoid strong sunlight. In winter, it needs to be exposed to the sun, receiving two to five hours of sunlight per day.

4. Temperature: It has poor cold resistance. If it is maintained in the north, pay attention to the sub-zero temperatures in winter to avoid frostbite. In the south, you should observe the changes in plants more often and replenish nutrients in time.
