2. Light: ginger and lotus should not be exposed to strong light. Especially in the period of germination and before the growth of flower stem, proper shade is needed. But wait until August, the plant grows luxuriantly, can accept the direct sunlight.

3. Watering: sufficient water is needed before the germination of Zingiber and lotus, and the soil must be wet for a long time, otherwise it will affect the germination and delay the flowering period.
