How to Grow Lotus

How to Grow Lotus

1. Soil

The soil must be disinfected before breeding to avoid insect eggs that affect later growth. Then add bone meal to make base fertilizer. Sufficient nutrients will be more conducive to plant growth.

2. Lighting

It likes light, so when caring for it, make sure to place it in light. The light time should be guaranteed to be more than eight hours a day, otherwise its growth will be inhibited and it will not be able to bloom beautiful flowers. If placed at home, the daylight hours are short in winter, so it should be placed on the balcony to receive sunlight.

3. Fertilization

It consumes a lot of nutrients during its growth and flowering period, so more fertilizer should be applied to supplement it. Usually you need to fertilize once a week. During the dormant period, pay attention to controlling fertilizer, apply it once a month to avoid root burn.

4. Water

It is an aquatic plant and cannot live without water during its growth. In the early stage of growth, the amount of water should be about three centimeters. Too deep a water level will be detrimental to raising the soil temperature. In addition, you should also pay attention to the use of water. If you use tap water, you should air it in the sun before use.

5. Pruning

If you need to prune it at home, it is enough to have one plant in a flowerpot. Too many plants will compete for nutrients, affect growth, and cause poor growth. Therefore, you should cut off the excess ones and leave only one healthy one.
