1、 Methods of prolonging flowering

1. Temperature control: if you want it to bloom longer, you should provide it with a suitable environment. It blooms more vigorously in a warm environment, so the temperature should be controlled between 25 and 30 degrees during the flowering period, so that the flowering period will be prolonged

2. Fattening: lotus is more fertilizer loving and needs more nutrients during flowering. Therefore, we should supplement nutrients and apply more fertilizer before flowering. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied every month during the normal growth period, and more potassium fertilizer should be applied before the flowering period, so as to make the flowering period longer and the flower color more beautiful

3. Light supplement: it likes light, especially when flowering. During maintenance, it should be placed in a place with sufficient light, so that it can be exposed to the sun for seven or eight hours every day. Sufficient light time can effectively prolong the flowering period

2、 How long is the flowering period

Lotus flowers usually open between 6:00 and 8:00 in the morning, which is more beautiful. When they open the first morning, the petals will close at noon. The folded petals will open again in the morning of the next day, but they will begin to fall off at noon until the morning of the third day. Therefore, it seems that its flowering period is usually three days
