Why can't you grow lotus at home?

1. From the perspective of Feng Shui

1. Scattering money: The dew accumulated by the lotus overnight will disappear as the sun comes out. From the perspective of Feng Shui, water can generate wealth and represents fortune. Dew dried up by the sun represents loss of wealth. Therefore, people who have businessmen in their families are reluctant to keep lotus at home, as they think it will affect their fortune.

2. Heavy Yin energy: In ancient times, after a person died, his family would embroider lotus flowers on his clothes, and lotus flowers would also be used in memorial ceremonies. Therefore, lotus flowers have too heavy Yin energy and are not suitable for keeping at home, as they will affect the health of family members.

3. The sacred flower of Buddhism: The lotus is the seat of the Bodhisattvas in Buddhism. Growing lotus at home means disrespecting the Bodhisattvas, so many people avoid this and do not grow lotus.

2. From the perspective of breeding conditions

1. Light: Lotus is a sun-loving plant and must be exposed to at least eight hours of natural light a day. This requirement is difficult to achieve if grown at home.

2. Attract insects: In addition, it is an aquatic plant, and aquatic plants easily attract insects. Therefore, it is unhygienic to grow lotus at home, and it is easy to breed bacteria. Therefore, it is not suitable to grow lotus at home.

3. Space taken up: Lotus varieties are generally larger, so they take up a lot of space. Another reason is that the cultivation conditions required for large varieties of lotus are difficult to meet, such as large containers and large amounts of fertilizer. If you grow it, it will be difficult to get even sunlight, so it won't grow well and its flowers won't look good. To avoid the above problems, it is best to grow lotus outdoors.
