In summer, it can properly block the sun, grow under the scattered light, and receive the sun for the rest of the time

Watering and fertilization

If watering, pour the snow lotus into the basin and place it in a ventilated place to wait for new roots to grow. It can be dried out and watered when growing. Be careful not to water the leaves. It's good to have a little water supply in winter. In terms of fertilization, nitrogen fertilizer is suitable in spring and phosphorus fertilizer is suitable in summer to help the growth of flowers and leaves. In autumn, we need to apply more potassium fertilizer to make the flowers more delicate and full. When flower buds appear, we should use flower Zhuang Diling to promote better flower quality
