When does the lotus bloom?

The lotus blooms around June to September every summer, but their flowering time will not be exactly the same depending on the region, variety and growing conditions. For example, the lotus flowers in the Baiyangdian area will bloom around May every year, while in areas such as the West Lake, they will only bloom in early July every year.

2. Maintenance during flowering period

① Fertilization: During the flowering period, the lotus needs to be fertilized appropriately to ensure the supply of nutrients. It is best to apply phosphorus fertilizer as the main fertilizer, and you can also add a little nitrogen fertilizer. If you are not sure, it is recommended that you use special fertilizer for lotus. When applying fertilizer, it is best to mix the fertilizer and sludge together, so that the fertilizer effect will be better.

② Pests and diseases: Pests and diseases are more common during the flowering period, so you need to be careful to prevent them. Pay attention to its growth conditions and remove any dead branches and leaves in time. In addition, once pests and diseases are discovered, they need to be controlled by spraying pesticides in a timely manner.
