How to care for newly bought ginger lotus

1. How to cultivate the purchased ginger lotus

The newly bought ginger lotus needs a comfortable potting soil environment. It is best to choose sandy soil with a certain water retention capacity for its growth. Secondly, it is necessary to provide sufficient light and water to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. You can water it every 2-4 days. No fertilizer is needed during the potting period.

2. Specific breeding methods

1. Soil: Ginger lily has a strong ability to adapt to the environment. Generally speaking, except for sticky soils which are not suitable for growing ginger lily, it can adapt well to other soils. However, sandy soil, which can lock in moisture and has good drainage performance, is more suitable for its growth. It is better to make the soil layer deeper when planting.

2. Temperature: It is suitable for growing in a warm environment. When you first buy it, you can keep it in an environment with a temperature of about 25℃. This will help it adapt to the new environment. Certain insulation measures must be taken in winter. It should not be kept in a low temperature environment for a long time, otherwise it will affect its growth rate.

3. Light: It likes light and needs sufficient light during its growth period. When it is just bought, it is not suitable to be placed directly in the sun for maintenance. It needs to be placed in a place with soft light for a period of time, and then gradually given sufficient light. Be careful not to place it in a too shady place for a long time, otherwise it will affect its normal growth rate.

4. Watering: It likes moisture and needs sufficient water under normal growth conditions. The soil must not be allowed to dry out. When you first buy it, you need to control the amount of watering appropriately, and then give it enough water after it resumes normal growth. It is also important to note during watering that water should not be allowed to accumulate in the soil for a long time, otherwise the plants will easily suffer from root rot.

5. Fertilization: It likes fertilizer and has a high demand for fertilizer during the growth period. But there is no need to apply fertilizer when you first buy it. Under normal circumstances, it needs thin fertilizers applied frequently during its growth period to give it more nutrients. When the temperature is relatively low, you need to reduce the frequency of fertilization.
