The causes and solutions of the excessive growth of the lotus

The reason why the lotus grows too long

Insufficient UV light

Ultraviolet rays are of great significance to the growth of plants, so once the ultraviolet light is lacking, the lotus will grow too long to reduce the obstruction between leaves and improve the utilization rate of the leaf surface area.

Excessive nitrogen fertilizer in the soil

Nitrogen fertilizer will accelerate the cell division of the water lily. If its photosynthesis cannot keep up, the water lily will grow too tall, be weak, and easily fall over.

Overwatering

If you water the plant multiple times and in large amounts, too much water will accumulate in the stems of the plant, causing it to grow too tall.

The solution to the excessive growth of lotus

Open windows frequently

If you open the windows frequently, scattered ultraviolet rays will come in through the windows. When the lotus absorbs enough ultraviolet rays, the chance of it growing too tall will decrease.

Use less nitrogen fertilizer

When growing the lotus at home, you can apply less fertilizer to stimulate its resistance. If you apply fertilizer, apply more liquid fertilizer mainly containing phosphorus and potassium.

Control watering amount

For the water lily, water it thoroughly when the soil is dry. Try to reduce watering frequency in summer and winter. Place the water lily in a ventilated place indoors to keep air circulating.
