Four-season maintenance methods of ground lotus

Spring maintenance methods for ground lotus

In spring, it is necessary to ensure sufficient water supply, but the more water does not necessarily mean better. The water must be drained in time after the spring rain. In early spring, you should also apply decomposed organic fertilizer and build up fertile soil at the base of the pseudostem to promote growth and flowering.

Summer maintenance methods of ground lotus

During the high temperature season in summer, direct sunlight should be avoided, and preparations should be made for the dry season. Appropriate watering should be done when encountering drought conditions. In addition, the temperature in summer is relatively high and the water demand increases. Watering should be done early in the morning on sunny days and thoroughly in the afternoon to ensure that the leaves are fresh and tender.

Autumn maintenance methods of ground lotus

In addition to proper watering in autumn, it is also necessary to apply decomposed organic fertilizer in late autumn as in spring. Another point that needs to be noted is that fertile soil should be cultivated at the base of the pseudostem to promote growth and flowering.

Winter care methods for ground lotus

The ground orchid is very not cold-resistant and should be moved indoors when the temperature is below 10℃. It is best to place it near a glass window where sunlight can reach. In winter, you should also control the water content appropriately. If you feel the room temperature is high, you can spray clean water on the leaves.

In southern China, the stems should be wrapped with straw or plastic film in winter to protect them from frost. Wait until spring to remove the packaging, trim dead branches and leaves, and apply fertilizer.
