How to grow white lotus

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: 18 to 25 degrees is more suitable for its growth. If it is not within this range, try to adjust it slightly. If it is in very hot and stuffy conditions, the surrounding environment must be adjusted, such as shading, ventilation, etc. In addition, when it is very cold, it is best to keep it indoors, no lower than five degrees.

2. Light: It likes light very much. Under good sunlight conditions, it not only grows well, but its color is also beautiful, and its leaves will turn into a beautiful pink. Generally speaking, full sun is available in spring and autumn. However, in summer, shade is needed.

3. Watering: It does not require much water and can provide a drier environment. It can also be adjusted according to the positive, once a week in spring and autumn, and twice a week in summer. In winter, if the temperature is below five degrees, you must control the water.

4. Fertilization: It does not require too much fertilizer and can be applied once a month.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: The main method used is cuttings. This method of reproduction can be carried out in every season and is very adaptable. Moreover, the survival rate is very high. The requirements for leaf selection are not high, the main thing is that they are free of diseases, pests and insects. Insert them into the substrate separately and they will soon grow into independent plants.

2. Repotting: Try to do it once a year because it has relatively high requirements for soil. If there is no condition to do it once a year, it is best to loosen the soil slightly. You can choose soil specially designed for succulents, which is more beneficial to the growth of white lotus. At the same time, the dry leaves can be cut off and the root system can be repaired.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: In the summer when the temperature is high and ventilation is poor, "leaf spot disease" is likely to occur, which harms the leaves and causes large areas of spots. In addition, there is "anthracnose", which is also prone to occur when ventilation is poor. Both diseases can be treated with benomyl.

2. Pests: "Red spiders" and "scale insects" are very common and can be controlled by spraying various pesticides.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: Its juice is not poisonous and does not emit harmful gases, so it is harmless.

2. Can it be raised at home?: Very suitable. It is an ornamental succulent plant that can be used to decorate the home.
