Three parts of garden soil, one part of rice husk ash and one part of compost are suitable for the cultivation of lotus.
Watering: the degree of watering is wetness. When it's dry, it's wet. In summer, it's particularly important to ensure that sufficient water is given, and often spray water on plants and surrounding environment to increase humidity and reduce temperature. In winter, we should pay attention to the control of watering, keep the basin soil slightly wet, not more watering.
Fertilization: one day before fertilization, water should be suspended once to make the basin soil receive water; after fertilization, water should be used to spray the leaves, and manure, cake fertilizer and chemical compound fertilizer should be used alternately, once every 10-15 days. In order to make the seedlings bloom as early as possible, sufficient fertilizer and water should be given. After the flower, it is necessary to pick the remnant flowers and apply fertilizer in time.
Temperature: it likes to be warm and has certain cold resistance. In the south, the open land can survive through the winter with a little covering. In the north, it needs to be put into a greenhouse at least 5 ℃ for the winter.
Light: the maintenance should be placed in the semi overcast and humid place. From June to September, the direct sunlight should not be allowed to avoid burning the leaves.
It can be propagated by sowing and dividing plants. But it will take a long time for the seedlings to bloom. How long is it? About 5 years So flower friends should think about it carefully when they breed lotus.
The wild lotus grows well on its own, but the domestic one should pay attention to its shape.
It is necessary to cut off the weak leaves and yellow withered leaves at the right time, leaving the leaves with good growth, which not only has a beautiful shape, but also can make the flowers bloom.
There are two kinds of common diseases: leaf spot and erythema. The leaf spot can be controlled by spraying 70% methyltobujin WP 1000 times. When erythema occurs, spray 600 times of chlorothalonil clear water once, the effect is very good.
