Snow lotus is planted in autumn and winter every year. It blooms in spring. Although the plant is not high, the flower amount is very large. Each flower branch can produce 3-8 small white flowers.
The origin of Saussurea involucrata is in Europe. It is widely distributed, cold resistant and heat-resistant. It can be planted in most parts of the country. It's not a problem for Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai to flower again every year.
In winter, it will not freeze to death at - 20 ℃, and in summer, it will have no pressure at 30 ℃. Except in the north of Northeast China, the south of Yunnan, the east of Fujian and Guangdong, other areas can be planted.
This year, Huahua chose the two most classic varieties, giant and snow white, all of which are imported from Holland.

When planting, you can put a layer of ceramsite on the bottom of the pot, mix chicken manure or slow-release fertilizer in the bottom of the soil, then add soil, place the bulb system downward, and cover the soil about 5cm thick.
The seed ball should be watered less before sprouting, and the soil should be dried strictly. Carry the flowerpot to be light and then watered. After sprouting, keep the soil dry and wet alternately, and it will grow when it is released.
The snow lotus planted in autumn and winter will grow rapidly when the temperature rises. When the seed ball grows to 6 leaves, the plant can draw out the arrow, and it will explode in March and April!
After the plant has failed, cut off the flower stems, apply more compound fertilizer and start to raise the bulbs. After the leaves wither in June, dig out the bulbs and put them in a dry and ventilated place, and plant again in autumn and winter.
