Lotus, also known as pearl lotus, is a kind of flower plant shaped like lotus and lantern. Its plants are very beautiful, and the flowers are big and beautiful, which is loved by many flower lovers. Often used as potted plants in living rooms, halls and other places to decorate the home environment. But how to raise this beautiful flower plant? What are the precautions?
Lotus cultivation should provide a relatively warm environment, the temperature is preferably above 25 degrees, not cold-resistant, and the winter temperature should be controlled above 16 degrees. There are also requirements for soil, which should be loose, fertile and breathable. Always water and moisturize during the growth period, but be careful not to overdo it or accumulate water. It is also necessary to apply thin fertilizer frequently to supplement the fertilizer and give it sufficient nutrients. In addition, pay attention to the prevention and control of pests and diseases.
1, temperature: It likes to grow in a high temperature and humid environment, so summer is its peak season. Usually the temperature is above 25℃, and the cold resistance is poor. Therefore, we should pay attention to the low temperature in winter, and keep the temperature above 16℃ in winter, otherwise plants will be easily frostbitten.
2. Soil: It has certain requirements for soil, and it must be loose, fertile and breathable. When breeding, the garden soil should be mixed with proper amount of humus soil and peat soil, which can basically meet its needs.
3, watering: it likes humidity, and it must be watered frequently during the growth period to maintain a humid soil environment. However, it should be noted that the humidity should not be too high when flowering, otherwise it is easy to fall.
4. Fertilization: The demand for nutrients in the growing period is also relatively large. Fertilizer should be applied frequently, but only thinly. It is not allowed to use raw fertilizer or thick fertilizer, otherwise the roots will burn easily. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer is generally applied in April-June, diluted with clear water before application, and then drenched once a week. It is suggested that fertilization should be stopped in winter to avoid fertilizer damage.
