Why is the water for growing lotus always turbid?

Why does the water always become turbid when growing lotus?

In fact, the phenomenon of water becoming turbid is mostly related to the soil used when growing water lilies. Many flower lovers use garden soil or nutrient soil when growing bowl lotus without sufficient stirring. In addition, there is some organic matter in such soil that has not been decomposed. With the exposure to sunlight, it will gradually become fertilizer, causing the water to become more and more turbid.

How to cultivate water lilies without muddying the water?

In fact, many flower lovers who grow water lilies can find that if pond mud is used as soil when growing water lilies, such a phenomenon rarely occurs, and the water is basically very clear. Therefore, if you have the conditions to grow water lilies at home, it is best to use pond mud as the soil to properly maintain the water quality.

If you want to use garden soil to grow water lilies, when planting the water lilies, you must pay attention to stirring the soil vigorously with a small wooden stick. Keep stirring. The finer the better. After the soil settles, the water will be clearer.

Secondly, when using garden soil, sprinkle sand on the surface. Note that you should sprinkle it in several times. Wait until the sand settles before sprinkling it a second time. This can also keep the water clear. However, when using sand, be sure to clean it beforehand.

Alternatively, you can soak the soil for a few more days and stir it a few more times before using it to remove as many impurities as possible from the soil.

When adding water to the water lily, be careful not to pour water directly into the flowerpot. Add water slowly and gently so that it will not become turbid easily.
