1、 Need trimming

The lotus growing in ponds and watersheds does not need pruning. The lotus itself will adjust, and there are no pruning conditions, so it is difficult to operate in water. The lotus we raise at home will have yellow leaves and withered leaves because of the metabolism of growth. If we don't care about it all the time, the leaf decay will affect the water quality. It needs to be pruned appropriately according to the growth needs to reduce the consumption of nutrients, which can promote the vigorous growth in the later stage

2、 How to trim

1. Remove redundant lateral buds: during the growth and maintenance process, it is necessary to observe whether there are redundant lateral buds and cut off the additional lateral buds at the bottom. Otherwise, the growth space is relatively small. If there are too many lateral buds, it will lead to insufficient growth space, affect the absorption of nutrients, lead to insufficient nutrients, and the growth of the whole lotus will become bad

2. Pruning yellow leaves and withered leaves: it is found that there are withered and rotten leaves, which have been aged and need to be cut off in time to prevent them from remaining on the water surface, which will gradually rot, affect the water quality, lead to muddy and unclean water quality, and affect the growth of the whole lotus

3. Topping control height: the space for raising at home is limited, and the branches will occupy a position if they grow too high. Topping the excessively long branches is necessary to control the height
