1、 Soil quality

Lotus leaves are usually cultivated with water, but they still need soil to fix their roots. The best soil is pond mud, which can reduce the pollution to water quality. Alternatively, sand, loess and garden soil can be mixed to make soil, and sludge is prohibited

2、 Illumination

It likes light very much. It's best to place it in the light during maintenance. The growth speed will be faster and more vigorous. If it is potted, the daily light exposure time should be between four and six hours, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow and may not bloom

3、 Temperature

It is afraid of the environment with large temperature difference, so it should take defensive measures every morning and evening. Usually as long as the temperature is above 15 degrees, the temperature should be controlled in winter, with poor cold resistance to avoid frostbite

4、 Water quality

When curing, clean water without impurities shall be used. The initial water shall not be excessive. The water level shall be between three and five centimeters. If it is too deep, it is not conducive to growth. It can slowly increase to 16 cm with the later stage of plant development

5、 Fertilization

Before entering the basin, an appropriate amount of base fertilizer can be doped in the soil to improve fertility and promote development. In the growing season, add nutrient solution to the water, which can promote the growth of rhizomes, flowers and leaves. In addition, it should be noted that fertilization should be stopped at high or low temperature to avoid fertilizer damage
