Varieties of Sleeping Lotus

Main varieties

Purple Sleeping Lotus

This type is relatively common compared to other types. But even so, not many people have seen it. As the name suggests, their petals are purple and the antennae inside are golden yellow. The combination of the two colors is commonly known as "contrasting colors", which is very pleasing to the eye.

This sleeping lotus needs to survive in a location with good air circulation. One thing to note here is that the water used to grow it must be still water. Friends who want to challenge this kind of flower can refer to this. Like most flowers, they bloom in summer and bear fruit.

Blue Water Lily

Compared to the purple variety above, this one looks much more melancholy because it is blue. This is exactly in line with their flower language: indifferent to love, indifferent to everything. In addition to the melancholy, they also have a refreshing feel. The color of their flower centers is uniform, a fresh yellow, and paired with the rich blue, there is a vitality that suggests the arrival of spring, cold yet powerful.

The water depth suitable for this kind of water lily is not very deep, about 20 to 30 centimeters will be enough. As long as the soil does not freeze, you can spend the winter in an outdoor pool. But this does not mean that they can remain green in winter. The roots, stems and leaves above the ground will wither.

Pink Sleeping Lotus

This variety is much more delicate, and the combination of pink and yellow makes the whole flower look more youthful. They are like girls with pink moods. Of course, the girl is not always asleep, but it is precisely because of her sleep that she looks even more beautiful when she wakes up, so every moment of blooming and withering is very touching.

One thing you must pay attention to when fertilizing this Sleeping Lotus is that you cannot use liquid fertilizer. This point may be overlooked by everyone. After all, they all live in water, so liquid fertilizer is easier to use. However, once liquid fertilizer is used, it will cause water pollution, so just bury the fertilizer directly under the soil.

Although I don’t know what it looks like, but if you imagine it, it should be golden and full of joy of harvest. Curious friends can go and search it.
