Cultivation methods and precautions of Guanyin Lotus

1. Soil

Before raising it, we must first choose some suitable soil for it. Generally, you should choose some loose, fertile soil with good drainage. The most commonly used one is a mixture of leaf mold and other soils. It would be better if you add some bone meal into it. Because the soil is moist at the beginning, we don’t need to water too much for the plants that have just been planted. Try to keep it semi-dry to facilitate the recovery of its roots as soon as possible.

2. Temperature

It likes moist and warm places, and can usually grow well in a temperature range of 20 to 30 degrees. In winter, the temperature is best controlled at 15 degrees to allow it to safely pass the winter. In addition, although it likes warmth, it is particularly intolerant to heat. Basically, it will stop growing in May. At this time, we can place it under the corridor or on the balcony, but we cannot let direct sunlight shine on it to prevent damage to the plant.

3. Lighting

When the temperature is too low in winter or too high in summer, it will go into a dormant state. But it will grow vigorously in spring and autumn because the temperature is more suitable at this time. In addition, it must be given enough light during this period. If there is not enough light, its appearance will become very scattered, and it will not look good. If you place it in a sunny place, its leaves will become unusually full and the plant shape will be very compact, which is very beautiful.

4. Watering

When watering it, the amount of water must not be too much, otherwise it will easily form water accumulation and cause root rot. However, the amount of water cannot be too little. If it is too little, the soil will become very dry, the growth of the plant will become slow, and the color of the leaves will no longer be shiny. Generally in the summer, we can water it a little more appropriately, because the evaporation capacity of the leaves is particularly strong at this time, and the amount of water required will be relatively large, so we can water it a little more appropriately.
