Lotus cultivation methods and precautions

1. Choose a pot

The flowerpot used for potted lotus should be large enough. Generally speaking, the diameter of the pot should be between 60 cm and 80 cm. In this way, the lotus roots will have enough space to grow. Small varieties like bowl lotus can be placed in a smaller container for maintenance, but the minimum should not be less than 30 cm.

2. Soil

When planting potted lotus, you can choose natural pond mud or silt in the water body, or you can mix garden soil, loess, and yellow sand in a ratio of 4:1:3.

3. Fertilization

Before planting, base fertilizer should be applied. Decomposed cake fertilizer or chicken manure can be used as base fertilizer.

IV. Precautions

Potted lotus must be exposed to full sunlight during maintenance, so it is more suitable for outdoor cultivation. It is difficult to achieve this condition indoors.
