Fertilization method for lotus

1. If you are growing water lilies in potted plants, you can apply some base fertilizer to the soil. Generally, it can be mainly decomposed farmyard manure, which can be directly mixed into the silt. This way, the soil will have sufficient nutrients and the plants can germinate better in the later stage.

2. Bowl lotus needs timely top dressing during the peak growth season. Generally, you can apply compound fertilizer liquid once in the summer. After diluting it with water, spray it directly on the leaves. If the concentration is too high, it will easily burn the leaves, resulting in reduced ornamental value of the plant.
