Can ginger lotus bloom in winter?

1. No flowering

The flowering period of ginger lotus is generally during warm seasons, specifically in summer and autumn. The temperature is too low in winter and generally it will not bloom. Moreover, you need to pay attention to some issues when maintaining it in winter so that it can survive the winter safely.

2. Precautions for wintering

1. Temperature: One of the most important tasks in winter is to ensure the temperature is suitable. It is best not to go below ten degrees. If the temperature is too low, be sure to keep it indoors. You can take it out for some fresh air at noon when the weather is fine.

2. Pruning: It is best to prune once before winter. Cut off diseased and dry branches, and also cut off yellow leaves to avoid excessive nutrient consumption. In addition, it is best to cut off the overgrown branches, otherwise they will take up most of the space in the room.

3. Watering: Don’t overwater, it’s best to keep it slightly dry. You can water it a little bit, otherwise it will easily rot.

4. Light: There must be sufficient light. You can put it outdoors in the sun at noon.

5. Ventilation: Provide adequate ventilation, but avoid direct blowing. Ventilation can be provided during the midday when the temperature is higher.

6. Fertilizer: In winter, because the temperature is very low, the growth rate is relatively slow, so generally no fertilizer is needed during winter. However, you can fertilize once before winter arrives.
