How to grow ginger lotus in winter? Do you need to cut the leaves?

1. Winter maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It likes warm environment and is afraid of cold. The temperature in winter is too low, so the most important thing is to control the temperature. Keep the temperature above 10 degrees and move it to a bright place to bask in the sun when the weather is clear.

2. Watering: Growth has stopped in winter, so water must be strictly controlled during maintenance. The amount of water should be reduced, and it is best to keep the soil in the pot dry, otherwise the plant will easily be frozen.

3. Ventilation: The temperature is low in winter, and opening windows will lower the temperature. Therefore, in order to control the temperature, you should ventilate less. But you can't keep the windows closed for a long time. Just be careful not to let the wind blow directly at you.

4. Fertilization: Fertilize once before winter to improve cold resistance. However, stop fertilizing after the temperature drops completely to avoid fertilizer damage.

2. Should I cut the leaves?

After the flowers of ginger lotus have completely faded, the remaining flowers and dry branches should be cut off in time to save nutrient consumption. When winter comes, cut off all the remaining leaves and move them indoors for the winter. If cultivated on land, the rhizomes should be dug out, wrapped in peat ash and stored indoors, and then replanted after the temperature stabilizes in the spring of the following year.
