1, soil conditions
Lotus is a deep-water plant. It is suggested that the soil with strong air permeability and rich trace elements should be used as the cultivation substrate, or the lotus pond soil, garden soil and river sand should be mixed to make the cultivation substrate, so that the prepared soil has strong air permeability and can make the root system of the lotus flower grow and develop better.
2. Lighting conditions
The growth of lotus needs sufficient light, and it can be maintained in a ventilated, cool and astigmatism place every day to promote the growth of lotus branches and leaves. If the lotus leaves are kept in a dark place for a long time, it will cause the lotus leaves to lose their luster.
3. Water and fertilizer management
In the process of maintaining lotus leaves, you need to pour a proper amount of ten cents into the flowerpot. You can choose clean rain or river water, or you can use tap water to dry 1 ~ 2 days, and the water level does not exceed the leaves of lotus leaves. In addition, in the process of lotus leaf growth, it is necessary to apply compound fertilizer once every half month, or drop 3 ~ 4 drops of nutrient solution into water to supplement nutrition.
4. Temperature situation
Lotus is cold-resistant, but it needs to keep warm in winter. Generally, the temperature of 15 ~ 25℃ is the best, and hydroponics below 5℃ will cause frostbite, so the temperature should be controlled above 5℃ in winter to promote the safe overwintering of the lotus.
5, the demand for nutrients
Usually, soil culture needs to provide it with a lot of nutrients and timely fertilization, while hydroponics also needs to provide sufficient nutrients. Every other month, a few drops of nutrient solution can be dropped into clear water to promote the growth of lotus in water.
