How to raise a lotus on the balcony? What should you pay attention to?

1. Adequate sunlight

It is a plant that loves light very much. In fact, during the growing season, which is spring, summer and autumn, it has a greater demand for sunlight due to the needs of growth. It is very suitable to be placed on the balcony where the lighting is better. The longer the lighting time, the faster the growth will be. However, you need to pay attention in the summer. Although it likes light, the stronger the light is, the better. When the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, proper shade is needed to avoid sunburn on the leaves, otherwise it will cause the leaves to turn black.

2. Watering Supplement

It is a little different from other succulents in that it requires more water. It can tolerate moisture and can be watered more often than other types, about once a week. It will grow faster and its leaves will be fuller. However, winter is a dormant period, so watering needs to be reduced.

3. Apply fertilizer

During the period of vigorous growth, fertilizer needs to be applied reasonably, but the demand is not high. Winter is a dormant period, and fertilization needs to be stopped because the growth is slow.

4. Temperature range

The environment is kept at around 20-25℃, which is within a suitable range for growth. The temperature in winter is relatively low. If it is below 0℃, you must take measures to keep warm or move it to a sunny room.
