How to cultivate ground lotus

Temperature: Prefers warm environment and cannot tolerate cold.

Light: Avoid direct sunlight during the hot summer season. When the temperature is below 10℃, it should be moved indoors, preferably near a glass window where sunlight can reach.

Soil: It is best to have fertile, loose and well-drained soil. The ground orchid prefers loose but fertile soil.

Fertilization: Ground orchid prefers fertile soil, so it also likes fertilizer. Compost and manure are suitable fertilizers, and fertilizers should be applied at the root zone in early spring. In addition, fertilizers such as superphosphate, wood ash, rice bran, etc. should also be applied in small amounts. In late autumn, decomposed organic fertilizer should be applied.

Precautions for cultivating ground lotus

Ground orchid should not be exposed to rain or watered too much to cause waterlogging.

The ground orchid is very not cold-resistant and should be moved indoors immediately when the temperature drops below 10 degrees. Therefore, the environment at higher latitudes is not very suitable for the growth of the ground orchid.

The ground orchid cannot be exposed to strong sunlight, so remember to put it in a shaded place in summer.
