The origin of lotus is in South Africa. It likes warm climate and humid air. It can't bear the cold, likes sunshine, but is afraid of sunshine. In summer, it needs to be cool, but in winter, the temperature is required to be 5-12 ℃, otherwise it will be easily frozen. In winter, the lotus is in dormancy, but if the temperature in winter exceeds 25 ℃, the stems and leaves will grow too vigorously, which will affect the dormancy, so that the next year's Lotus flowering will be affected.
This kind of flower has high requirements for soil, likes big fertilizer, and is suitable for sandy loam rich in humus and good drainage. For winter dormant lotus, soil humidity can not be too large, or it will affect the normal growth of lotus.
This kind of flower likes sunshine. Although it can't be exposed to the sun, a certain amount of sunshine time should be guaranteed in winter. Otherwise, the lotus will wither and suffer from malnutrition. In winter, you can put the lotus in the sunny window, change different angles to let it bask in the sun, but the time must be controlled well, after the uniform exposure, this time the sun activity can end!
This kind of flower likes humid air environment, and winter is no exception. In winter, the climate is relatively dry, so it is necessary to spray water on the ground around the lotus frequently, so as to ensure that the air around the lotus has a certain degree of humidity. For the north with a particularly dry climate, you can buy a humidifier in winter. After all, raising flowers is like raising children. You can't be careless at all!
Well, I feel like I've said a lot. You should know more about this kind of flower. Pay attention to the above points, and our lotus will have a good winter!
