How many years can ginger lotus be grown?

1. How many years can it be raised?

Ginger lotus is a perennial plant. But every year after the flowers fade, the above-ground part of the plant will gradually wither, and the bulbs will enter a dormant state. It needs to be removed from the pot and planted again the following year, so it can grow for many years.

2. How to maintain

1. Soil: Ginger lotus has strong adaptability to soil and can be planted as long as the soil is not heavy clay. However, deep, well-drained sandy soil is more conducive to its growth. You can also add a little organic matter as base fertilizer to provide sufficient nutrients.

2. Light: Ginger lotus should not be exposed to strong light. Especially during the budding stage and before the flower stems grow, appropriate shade is needed. But by August, when the plants have grown lushly, they can receive direct sunlight.

3. Watering: Ginger lotus needs sufficient water before germination, and the soil must be moist for a long time, otherwise it will affect germination and delay flowering. During the middle growth period, there should be sufficient water, but no stagnant water, otherwise it will be easy to be infected by bacteria.

4. Fertilization: After ginger lotus enters the growth period, it needs a lot of fertilizer. Top dressing is required every 20 days. It is advisable to use a compound fertilizer with a balanced content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which will be more helpful to its growth.
