Raising calla lotus needs to ensure moderate light, the environment can not be dark, nor can it be long-term exposure, usually 3-5 hours a day by light. The soil should be neutral or acidic, and a proper amount of base fertilizer should be added. Because it likes wet, daily watering should be frequent, but do not pour water in the leaf sheath, otherwise it will rot. Fertilization is usually once every two weeks, and appropriate topdressing should be carried out after budding. Plants need to be pruned after flowering to prolong the next flowering period.

1. Timely drainage

The main cause of excessive water is too much water, usually due to too much watering or pot soil water.In daily maintenance, it is necessary to control the amount of watering and wait until the soil is dry before watering.If there is too much water, there is water in the soil, it is necessary to discharge the excess water in time, and to loosen the soil properly, so that the water can evaporate as soon as possible.

2. Lower the temperature

More meat and more water in summer, higher temperature is also one of the conditions to promote.Because of the high temperature environment, plants will enter a dormant state, the demand for water is reduced, and the amount of water can not be controlled well.Usually, water is sprayed around, and heat is absorbed through evaporation of water, which can play a cooling effect.

3. Appropriate Shading

The strong light is also the reason why the fleshy leaves turn into water.Most succulent plants are not resistant to strong light exposure, so at noon must be properly shaded, or put it indoors in a bright place, let it receive scattered light, every morning or evening can be properly exposed to light.It should be noted that it can not be completely invisible to light, which will lead to excessive growth of plants.

4. Keep ventilated

Good air circulation is helpful to reduce the temperature and accelerate the evaporation of water, which can effectively avoid excessive water.Do not put the plant in a too sealed place, environmental discomfort often causes pests and diseases, which is not conducive to its growth and development.In addition, it is necessary to avoid being hit by strong winds.
