Cultivation methods and matters needing attention of lotus

First of all, light

Lotus doesn't need much light, and bright indoor astigmatism can feed it well, but warm and soft light in winter can directly bask in the sun, which is beneficial for plants to accumulate nutrients and bloom more.

Second, the temperature

Lotus likes warmth and is afraid of cold. The curing temperature in winter should be above 15℃ to avoid freezing and freezing damage of plants. When the temperature is low, the lotus will enter a dormant state, and its growth rate will slow down or even stop. Water must be controlled at this time.

Third, water.

Lotus blooms love wet and fear waterlogging. In addition to properly controlling water when the temperature is low in winter, in the growing period of plants, they should wait until the soil is dry, and the soil can't be kept moist all the time, so as to avoid plants choking their roots with water, causing flowers and leaves to wither, and even root rot and drowning.

Fourth, humidity.

Lotus likes humidity, but actually likes high humidity environment, such as indoor heating in summer or winter. In the case of good ventilation, you can often spray water on the leaves and surrounding areas of plants, but don't spray water when flowering, so as to avoid the lotus withering.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) fertilization

Fertilize the lotus with thin fertilizer frequently. Top-dressing fertilizer with balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium during the plant growth period, switching to pruning potassium dihydrogen phosphate fertilizer before flowering, once every half month, until the lotus is in full bloom, and no fertilizer is applied when the temperature is low in winter.

Six, pruning

Lotus lanterns have a long flowering period, which can last for 3-5 months at a time. When the plant is exhausted, cut off the flower arrow in time, reduce nutrient consumption, control water properly, ventilate more, and fertilize frequently to promote it to bloom again.
