The maintenance of autumn is more important for the lotus, because winter is its flowering period, good maintenance in autumn can provide a good foundation for its later flowering, otherwise it may not bloom well in winter.
1. Temperature: the lotus itself is not only afraid of cold, but also hot, so the temperature requirements are high. Generally speaking, 7-15 degrees is the best, and the highest is no more than 20 degrees. Therefore, in early autumn to take measures to cool down, late autumn is to prevent cold
2. Light: the lotus itself likes light, but it can't be too strong. If the light lasts long enough, it may bloom early. Generally speaking, from November onwards, an extra three hours a day can promote flowering
3. Watering: provide proper amount of water, but no ponding. When there is water, it must be discharged in time. The general principle is "see dry see wet". In addition, it also has requirements for air humidity, which is best controlled at about 80%. If the air is too dry, you can sprinkle some water on the side of the flowerpot.
4. Fertilization: in autumn, it also has requirements for fertilizer. Proper application is conducive to its accumulation of nutrients, promoting subsequent flowering. Usually once a half month. However, if the plant has obvious overgrowth, fertilization must be suspended. In addition, you can apply some phosphate fertilizer to make it look better.
