How to grow ginger lotus

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: The most suitable temperature for its development is 20 degrees. Too low temperature will cause the plant to stop growing. Therefore, anti-freeze measures need to be taken in winter to prevent frostbite of the plant.

2. Watering: It likes to grow in a slightly moist soil environment, so it needs to be watered frequently. In summer, the amount and frequency of watering should be appropriately increased. Generally, water it two to three times a week. Also pay attention to bacterial infections caused by stagnant water.

3. Fertilization: Its growth consumes a lot of nutrients, and the nutrients in the soil cannot meet its needs. Generally, it needs to be fertilized once every half a month. Choose thin fertilizers with mild fertilizer effects, such as diluted fertilizer cake water, disinfected animal manure, etc.

4. Light: It is a full-sun plant and can accept full-day sunlight, but in order to make its branches more upright, you can provide appropriate shade to promote the growth of branches and leaves, which can also enhance its resistance. Generally, 50% shading can achieve the desired effect. If you don't pursue the height of the plant, such as potted plants, they can directly receive full-day sunlight.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Protection during the rainy season: There is more rain during the rainy season, which can easily cause water to accumulate in the manure and soil, which can easily lead to bacterial infection of the plants. Therefore, it is necessary to build a rainproof shed at this time, or move the plants directly indoors for maintenance.

2. Pruning: Generally, it does not require pruning. If the branches and leaves of the plant become discolored and dry, you need to trim off the problematic branches and leaves and then disinfect the cuts.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Pests: Red spot disease and anthracnose are two diseases and pests that ginger lotus is more susceptible to. If the above situations are found, you can use carbendazim to spray.

2. Pathology: The branches and leaves begin to droop and turn yellow, which is mostly caused by insufficient water. You need to gradually increase the amount of water to solve this problem. It is best to use tap water that has been dried in the sun for watering. Freshly drawn tap water contains chlorine, which has an adverse effect on the growth of plants. Drying in the sun can release the chlorine, so when watering, use tap water that has been dried in the sun.

IV. Other issues

1. Bulb disinfection: Before planting the plants, the bulbs need to be disinfected. If not disinfected, the plants will easily be infected by pathogens, resulting in the plants not sprouting and flowering.

2. Toxicity: Ginger lotus is non-toxic, so you can grow it with confidence.
