When does the lotus bloom?

1. Which season is it?

The lotus flowers bloom in the summer every year, specifically between June and September. However, the flowering time will vary depending on the variety, growing environment and region. For example, the lotus flowers in Baiyangdian bloom earlier, usually in May, while those in the West Lake area bloom in July. In addition, if you want to view the flowers, it is best to go between six and eight in the morning. The flowers are more vibrant and beautiful during this time period.

2. How to maintain during flowering period

1. Fertilization: Lotus consumes more nutrients when it blooms, so it is best to apply appropriate amount of fertilizer at this time. Use mostly phosphorus fertilizer and mix it with a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer, and mix it directly with the silt. This will provide sufficient nutrients and make the flowers bloom more beautifully.

2. Water quality: If the plant is maintained in a small pond, there is no need to change the water frequently. Just add water in time when you find that the water level is low. If it is grown in a container, it is even more important to add water. Too little water will affect flowering. In addition, the water quality must be ensured to be clean.

3. Light: Sufficient light should be provided during the flowering period. Insufficient light will reduce the amount of flowering and the ornamental value will decrease.

3. Pests and diseases: Various pests and diseases are prone to occur during the flowering period, so be careful to prevent them. If you find dead, old, or sick branches, remove them as soon as possible. In addition, spray an appropriate amount of pesticide to achieve complete control.
