Four seasons maintenance method of lotus

Spring care of lotus

The growing season of the lotus is in spring, and fertilizer is generally applied once every 20 days or so.

Spring is suitable for repotting, which should be done once every 1-2 years. You can use a mixture of one-third leaf mold, one-third sand and one-third garden soil.

Summer care of lotus

The plant can still grow normally in summer, and dormancy is not obvious. Once the temperature is higher than 35℃, it is necessary to shade the plant and place it in a ventilated place, and then gradually cut off the water. Give it little or no water throughout the summer.

Autumn care of lotus

Autumn is also the peak growth period for the lotus. It can be exposed to full sunlight, but it should avoid direct sunlight and absorb scattered light.

In autumn, watering should be done after the soil in the pot is completely dry, and once every 10 days or so is enough.

Winter care of lotus

The suitable temperature for the growth of Gemstone is 15℃-25℃.

In winter, the lotus should be placed in a sunny place indoors and kept above 5°C. When the temperature is below 0°C in winter, the water in the leaves will freeze, the cells will necrotize, and the lotus will stop growing. At this time, watering should be temporarily reduced or stopped.
