Here are some tips for helping lotus flowers bloom:
1.Plenty of light: Lotus flowers prefer full sun exposure and need at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day. Plant lotus flowers in a bright, direct sunlight area while avoiding excessively shady environments.
2.Suitable temperature: Lotus flowers adapt to warm climates and grow and bloom best in the range of 20-30 degrees Celsius. In hot weather, it is especially necessary to pay attention to providing a certain shade for lotus flowers, so as to avoid excessive exposure to the sun and cause leaf drought and burns.
3.Moderate moisture: Lotus is an aquatic plant, so it has a high demand for water. When planting, place the lotus flowers at a depth of 5-15 cm soaked in water. Keeping the water clean and circulating, changing the water once a week can effectively prevent spoilage and accumulated waste. Of course, make sure that the water depth is moderate so as not to flood the plants.
4.Good soil quality: Choose soils that are suitable for aquatic plants, such as soils that are compatible with land and water or silt that contains humus. These soils help to provide nutrients and retain water, promoting the growth and flowering of lotus flowers.
5.Moderate fertilization: Lotus flowers have a higher demand for nutrients, especially phosphorus and potassium. During the growing season, an appropriate amount of fertilizer for aquatic plants can be used and fertilized according to the instructions. But avoid over-fertilization, which can lead to nutrient overload and water pollution.
6.Remove dead and yellow leaves in time: Some leaves will gradually age and wither during the growth of lotus flowers, and these leaves should be pruned and removed in time to keep them tidy and reduce the breeding of pests and diseases.
7.Regular pest control: Lotus flowers are susceptible to some common pests and diseases, such as aphids, leaf mites, etc., especially in wet conditions. Conduct regular inspections and take appropriate prevention and control measures in a timely manner, using appropriate pesticides or pesticides.
