How to grow red lotus succulent plants and how to grow them into old piles

1. How to grow red lotus succulent plants

1. Temperature: Red lotus has certain requirements for temperature. If the temperature exceeds 35℃ in summer, a shade net should be pulled to cool it down. In winter, the maintenance temperature should be kept above 0℃. When the temperature is low, water it less or even stop watering. Usually, a larger temperature difference between day and night is conducive to the coloring of the red lotus.

2. Light: Red lotus likes light. The more light it gets, the stronger it grows and the easier it is to grow. Except for the summer when it needs to be shaded from the scorching sun, it needs more sun exposure in other seasons.

3. Watering: In spring and autumn, wait until the soil is dry and water thoroughly. In summer, when the temperature is high, wait until the soil is dry and water it a little along the edge of the pot. In winter, when the temperature is low, wait until the soil is dry and water it a little along the edge of the pot, or even stop watering directly.

4. Fertilization: Red lotus does not require much fertilizer and water. You only need to mix cake fertilizer, bone meal or slow-release fertilizer at the bottom of the pot as base fertilizer when repotting in spring and autumn every year.

5. Ventilation: When growing red lotus at home, you should pay more attention to ventilation. Spray it with carbendazim and flower protector every half a month in late spring and early summer to prevent the occurrence of diseases and pests.

The red lotus succulent is particularly prone to lignification and growth in groups. During the growth process, as the new leaves grow, the outermost old leaves of the rosette will dry up and fall off. These are all normal phenomena. We only need to expose it to more sunlight, control water appropriately, increase the temperature difference between day and night, and prevent the succulent from growing too tall during the growth period!
