1. Temperature: Buddha lotus likes to be warm and try to be between 25-28 ℃. However, this is the most suitable temperature during the day. At night, it is better to lower it a little. Its adaptability to high temperature and low temperature is not very good, so it needs to be adjusted. Do not exceed 32 ℃ or 5 ℃.

2. Light: Buddha seat lotus is a very light loving plant. Only when it provides good light, its leaves will become fat, and its color will be better, and its plant type will be more beautiful. So in its growth period, it needs to be put in the position of facing the sun, and only when the light is too strong can it be covered. In summer, due to dormancy, it is better to block the light.

3. Watering: Buddha seat lotus does not need much water. When it grows up, it can wait until the substrate is dry before replenishing water. It needs to be watered thoroughly, but it must not accumulate water, or it will easily rot.

4. Fertilizer application: the demand for fertilizer is not too much. It can only be used in spring and autumn. Generally speaking, it is about once every 20 days. It can be used as compound fertilizer, with a special emphasis on phosphate and potash.

Just after changing the soil into a basin, there should be no strong light, and it should also be placed in a place where the temperature is not so high
