What should I pay attention to when growing lotus? Can it be placed on the indoor balcony?

1. Breeding precautions

1. Ensure sunlight: Sunlight is an important factor in maintaining the growth of lotus. It is a very light-loving plant. During the growth and maintenance process, pay attention to maintaining good sunlight. Full light is also required during the growth period. The time receiving sunlight should not be less than 4 hours a day. It is best to ensure 7-8 hours of light. It can be placed in a place with good light outdoors to promote healthy growth and continuous flowering.

2. Fertile soil: Lotus needs fertile soil to grow, but not too sticky. You can choose pond mud from the original environment, which can meet the original growth needs. You can also mix it yourself with garden soil, loess, and yellow sand. It is better to keep the pH value at 6.5-7.5.

3. Reasonable fertilization: Lotus is also a flower that likes fertilizer strongly. Add a certain amount of base fertilizer when preparing the soil. Fertilize reasonably in the later growth period. Pay attention to the concentration of fertilizer and do not apply concentrated fertilizer.

4. Water cleanliness: Keep the water clean, change the water regularly, and do not make the water too turbid.

5. Prevention and control of diseases and pests: If the lotus is not properly maintained, it may be infected with diseases and pests. Pay attention to ventilation and prevention, and spray pesticides in time when they appear.

2. Can it be placed on an indoor balcony?

Lotus has a strong demand for light, so it is best to grow it outdoors, but it can also be grown on the south balcony indoors, making sure to ensure good light.
