How to grow snow lotus

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: The most suitable range is between 20 and 25 degrees. As mentioned above, it is rare in tropical areas because it is very afraid of heat. Generally speaking, if the temperature is higher than 30 degrees, its growth will be seriously affected, and high temperature may even cause its death. This characteristic requires more attention.

2. Light: Snow leaf lotus requires more sunlight and prefers an environment with sufficient sunlight. However, too much light is not good. Especially when the temperature is relatively high, try to place it in a semi-shaded place with a little scattered light. However, except in summer, shade is generally not needed unless the latitude is very low.

3. Watering: Although snow leaf lotus likes moisture, the humidity cannot be very high under high temperature conditions. Keep the substrate semi-moist, avoid water accumulation, and drain any excess water in the soil in time.

4. Fertilization: Snow leaf lotus requires very little fertilizer. After choosing fertile soil, there is basically no need to apply fertilizer. If the growth is weak, you can use a little more.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by division. Generally speaking, reproduction is carried out when its leaves are withered, which is during the dormant period. Choose a mother plant. There must be some small bulbs around it. These are the materials for reproduction. After separating them from the mother plant, they can be planted in the soil. Compared with the sowing method, this method has a higher success rate.

2. Soil: Snow leaf lotus can also be made into a potted plant and placed at home, so you need to pay attention to the issue of changing the pot. It can be changed every two years, and the requirements are not particularly strict. When choosing soil, you can use mixed soil, such as black soil, coarse sand, horse manure soil, leaf mold, etc.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Diseases: Since it lives in a relatively cool place, it does not suffer from many diseases. Under conditions of high temperature and high humidity, some diseases are likely to occur, which can be prevented and treated in time.

2. Pests: Similarly, due to the relatively low temperature, there are not many pests. When the environment is suitable for pest reproduction, there will be relatively more pests, so spray pesticides in time.
