It has specific requirements for the soil, which means that the general soil can not meet it. The best soil contains a lot of humus, and we need clay loam, of course, we must also ensure its fertility. In fact, this soil is very particular, because if the soil is relatively sticky, it will affect the growth and expansion of lotus root. If it is relatively soft, it is easy to cause it to be damaged by the wind and cause problems at the root. So the best way is to use the soil in the pond, or the mixture of garden soil, loess and sand. In fact, the soil it needs is slightly alkaline, so we usually put it in the range of 6.5 to 7.5.
The light it likes is that kind of strong light. We need to keep it under seven or eight hours of light every day, which is good for it. For example, it can make its flower buds more, and the flowering time will be longer. Because it loves the nature of light, we must not keep it in shade all the time. If you want to put it indoors, you can't put it too long. The way to get back is to breed it on the balcony. Besides, we can't let it be exposed to the sun at noon.
This factor cannot be treated at will because it is very demanding. The temperature of germination is between eight and ten degrees, while the temperature of lotus root zone growth is 14 degrees. When it comes to growth, its temperature should be between 25 and 30. In addition, we should know that it grows more quickly on rainy days.
This is a necessary part. Generally, the amount of base fertilizer we give it is based on the size of the basin. After planting it for one month, we need to apply liquid fertilizer to it. In addition, after it grows leaves and sucks, we need to apply fertilizer to it for one or two times. When the flower is in full bloom, we need to apply phosphoric acid to it every week.
We need to add water to it every day in summer. The quality of water should be guaranteed. It's not necessary to add too much water in autumn and winter.
