Spring

Spring is the growth period of the plant. At this time, fertilization must be timely, but the flower does not like to grow fertilizer. Fertilizer can be applied every ten days to half a month. The fertilizer should mainly be a combination of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer, which can promote the growth of branches and leaves and the blooming of flowers. In the pregnancy and bud stage, you can slightly increase the intensity of fertilization. If the fertilization is too little and the nutrition of the plant is not enough, its growth and development will gradually weaken, resulting in the reduction of the number of flowers, the dim color of flowers, the decline of flower shape, or even no flowering at all. In order to prevent this from happening, one or two times of quick acting phosphate fertilizer can be added

Summer

At the beginning of summer, the arrow lotus grows fast and needs more nutrients. At this time, the fertilizer applied should be mainly nitrogen fertilizer. It can be applied once or twice according to the growth situation, which can promote it to draw more leaves and buds, increase the number of flower buds in the second year and improve the ornamental quality of the flowers. At the full flowering stage, we should pay attention to reducing fertilizer and preventing excess nutrition. It is generally hot and muggy in hot summer. This climate will slow down the growth of Lingjian lotus and appear dormant. At this time, it should be placed in a ventilated and cool place and stop fertilization

Autumn

After autumn, the leaves of Lingjian lotus will gradually mature and enter the second rapid growth season of this year. At this time, fertilizer can be applied two or three times. The fertilizer in autumn is different from that in spring. It should be based on the combination of phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer, and pay attention to providing sufficient sunlight

Winter

When the temperature drops in winter, especially after frost, the Lingjian lotus should be moved to a warm room and no fertilizer should be applied. At the same time, the overgrown lateral branches and new buds should be removed in time to reduce the loss of nutrients

Precautions

If it is a newly planted Lingjian lotus, do not apply fertilizer for the time being, and then apply fertilizer according to the routine after the growth is stable. When changing soil and basin, you can add some base fertilizer to improve the nutrients contained in the soil
