How to grow lotus in water? Can lotus be grown in soil?

1. Breeding methods

1. Adequate sunlight: The water-cultured lotus must ensure good light needs. If there is a lack of sunlight for a long time, the growth of the lotus will be affected, resulting in weak growth and the flowers will not be able to open normally, which will seriously affect the growth of the lotus. During the growing season, the lotus can be placed in a well-lit place and exposed to sufficient light. The light in summer is too strong, so it needs to be placed in semi-shade to avoid being burned by strong light.

2. Change the water regularly: The hydroponic lotus has some requirements for the water quality, so the water quality needs to be changed regularly. It is recommended to change the water once every half a month in spring and autumn, and once a month in winter. In summer, the frequency of water changes can be higher according to the water quality.

3. Reasonable fertilization: Nutrients are necessary to maintain the growth of lotus. You can add nutrient solution when changing water to ensure the required nutrients.

4. Temperature requirements: In order to ensure the growth needs, a good temperature must be maintained. The daily temperature should be kept at around 20-25 degrees Celsius. It can grow well within this temperature range. In winter, you must pay attention to keeping warm and keep the temperature above 0 degrees Celsius so that the lotus can safely overwinter.
