Generally speaking, the lotus varieties suitable for potted plants include "bowl lotus" and "miniature lotus", while the lotus varieties suitable for pond planting are "big sprinkle brocade" and "thousand-petal lotus".

During the growth period, it is necessary to fertilize in a timely manner, mainly with well-rotted organic fertilizers, such as chicken manure, pig manure, etc.
Pay attention to moisture management. Lotus is an aquatic plant with relatively high water requirements. When planting, keep the water clear and change the water regularly. During the growth period, water should be added in time according to the growth of the lotus flowers, and the water depth should be kept at about 20 cm.

When planting, the growth of lotus flowers should be checked regularly, and measures should be taken to prevent and control pests and diseases in time. Some biological pesticides or low-toxicity pesticides can be used for prevention and control, but pay attention to the method and dosage to avoid affecting the environment and human body.
