Lotus blossoms are different. It opens one after another without interfering with each other. The flowering period of a single flower is relatively short, only a few days, but in terms of the flowering period of the lotus group, the flowering period is very long.

If you plant lotus in a small pool, you don't need to change the water often, just supplement the water in time; The lotus in the Petri dish can be changed every two weeks to ensure clean water quality. Water should be replenished in time in summer. It must not be short of water, and corresponding warm keeping measures should be taken in winter

(3) Fertilization problem

Lotus is generally applied with phosphorus fertilizer. If necessary, add a little nitrogen fertilizer. If you are not sure, you can directly buy special fertilizer. If organic fertilizer can be used at home, it is recommended to mix it with sludge and then add it. The effect will be better. When the lotus grows vigorously in summer, if the whole lotus leaves turn yellow or fall, you can add some urea and mix it into the mud, but don't overdo it
