Is lotus easy to grow? How to care for it at home

1. Is it easy to raise?

Lotus is also known as water lily. You can see it in lotus ponds every day, and you can actually grow it at home. As long as a suitable growing environment is provided, lotus is relatively easy to grow. It has a strong adaptability and can adapt to the surrounding environment. If it is moved at will during maintenance, it will affect its growth. Keeping it at home will not affect people. The flowers are graceful and beautiful, highly ornamental and non-toxic. When they bloom, they have a faint fragrance that can make people happy.

2. How to maintain

1. Plenty of sunlight: Lotus is very light-loving and requires sufficient light for maintenance. Full light is needed during the growth period. If the light exposure time given during maintenance is not enough, it may cause the leaves to turn yellow and wither, and even cause the plant to wither. If you have a yard at home, it is best to grow it in the outside yard. If not, you can grow it on the south balcony and keep it in light for at least 4 hours a day.

2. Planting soil: When growing at home, the soil for planting must be suitable. It is best to choose fertile clay. You can directly choose pond mud, or you can use garden soil, yellow sand, etc., and then add decomposed chicken manure and add carbendazim for disinfection. After that, the disinfected substrate can be used.

3. Sufficient fertilizer: Apply sufficient base fertilizer before planting. You can use decomposed cake fertilizer or chicken manure. Fertilize regularly during the growing period to maintain good nutrition.
