Is the lotus suitable for indoor cultivation?

1. Is it suitable?

Bowl lotus is not suitable for indoor cultivation. It is a positive plant that likes to be exposed to sufficient sunlight. If it is placed indoors without sufficient sunlight, the leaves will grow too long and the color of the leaves will fade. If it is placed indoors for a long time, it will not bloom.

2. Reasons for not being suitable

1. Growth habits: Bowl lotus likes to be exposed to sunlight, and sufficient light helps it grow better. It is generally difficult for it to receive sunlight when placed indoors, so naturally its growth will slow down. It is okay to keep it indoors for a short period of time, but it is best to grow it outdoors or on a south-facing windowsill.

2. Feng Shui: Many elderly people do not recommend growing bowl lotus indoors, because its pronunciation is similar to the elegy couplet, and the lotus is a flower species for worshipping gods, and growing it indoors will bring bad luck to family members. Friends who want to grow water lilies can grow them outdoors. It can grow better outdoors because there is plenty of sunlight. However, when the light is strong in summer, it is best to put it indoors for a while or take shade measures.
