How to fertilize lotus? Can lotus grow without fertilizer?

1. Fertilization method

1. Seasonal influence: Lotus grows vigorously in summer, so more fertilizer should be applied in summer. In spring, a small amount of fertilizer can be applied to meet basic growth needs. In autumn, the climate begins to turn cooler, so the growth gradually slows down and the amount of fertilizer needs to be reduced. In winter, when the plant enters a dormant period, fertilization can be stopped.

2. Influence on growth: If the growth is relatively weak and there is a lack of fertilizer, you can apply some fertilizer early. If the growth is strong, only apply enough fertilizer to meet the growth needs.

3. Weather influence: Fertilization is also affected by the weather. You can choose to apply fertilizer on sunny days. Be careful not to apply fertilizer before the heavy rain, otherwise it will affect the fertilizer efficiency. Do not apply fertilizer when the temperature is low, as the growth is slow and the amount of fertilizer required is relatively small.

4. Apply thin fertilizer: Lotus likes fertilizer, but you must pay attention to the concentration. Do not apply thick fertilizer. Just apply a little light fertilizer.

5. Element balance: Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are important factors required to maintain growth. Different elements are applied under different growth conditions.

2. Is it OK not to apply fertilizer?

Lotus is a fertilizer-loving plant and needs to be fertilized during daily growth. It is not necessary to fertilize it at the beginning of planting, but it must be fertilized reasonably during the vigorous growth period in the later stage.
