Does Guanyin lotus blossom?

Although Guanyinlian is very common, the flowering of Guanyinlian seems very rare in China. In fact, Guanyinlian flowers are very gorgeous, and like other succulent plants, Guanyinlian will die after flowering. They bloom with their lives, and it is not difficult to understand why the flowers are so amazing.

II. Culture methods and matters needing attention of Guanyinlian

1. Soil conditions

Guanyinlian does not have high requirements for soil, but it is suitable for fertile and loose sandy loam. It can be mixed with rotten leaf soil, coarse sand and vermiculite at the proportion of 2:1:1, and a small amount of plant ash and bone powder are added as base fertilizer.

2. Temperature requirement

Guanyin lotus likes to be cool and more resistant to cold. Spring and autumn are the main growing periods, while summer and winter are mainly dormant periods. When it is hot in summer, it is easy to cause Guanyinlian plant rot because of stuffy heat and dampness. it should be shaded properly, improve ventilation conditions, take cooling measures, and make the basin soil moderately dry. In winter, Guanyinlian can continue to grow and maintain normally when the temperature is more than 15 ℃ during the day and 5 ℃ at night, while at lower temperature, if watering can be controlled, it can also withstand the low temperature of 2 ℃.

The leaves below 20 ℃ are dormant, the overwintering temperature is generally above 15 ℃, and the leaves below 10 ℃ will suffer frost injury until withering, so they should be planted indoors in winter.

3. Watering method

Guanyin lotus likes to be wet and avoid stagnant water. Watering should be "no dry, no watering, watering thoroughly". The cultivation of Guanyin lotus needs to keep the soil moist all the time. Drought will make the plant grow slowly, the leaf color is dim and lack of vitality, so it should be watered frequently. But at the same time, attention should be paid to prevent excessive water from causing stagnant water in the basin and causing root rot, so it is necessary to strengthen the drainage function of the cultivation medium. In order to prevent stagnant water, it can be considered to put a layer of coarse sand on the basin bottom as a drainage layer, so that the excess water can be discharged as soon as possible. When drying at high temperature, it is necessary to spray water to the surrounding environment and foliage to moisturize, which can make its growth more exuberant. Watering should be reduced in winter.

Guanyin lotus basin soil should be dry, not too much water, in order to prevent rotting roots. Indoor cultivation should be kept warm and humid, room temperature above 18 ℃, plants can grow normally, often spray plants, keep the environment moist, in order to facilitate plant growth.

In the spring and summer growing season, in order to maintain a high air humidity, in addition to normal watering, you can spray water to the air and the ground around the plant. The air in the air-conditioned room is relatively dry and should not be placed for viewing for a long time. When the potted soil is dry, the leaves are easy to soften and droop.

4. Fertilization method

In the spring and autumn growing season, Guanyin lotus can apply mature thin liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer with low nitrogen and high phosphorus and potassium every 10 days. Fertilizer and water should be light rather than thick, too much is easy to cause fertilizer damage. The content of nitrogen fertilizer in compound fertilizer should not be too much, too much is easy to make the plant grow too much.

In the peak growth period of Guanyinlian, according to the growth situation of Guanyinlian, dilute liquid fertilizer and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied once or twice a month. The stem of the plant is erect and the growth is strong. At the same time, it is beneficial to the growth and enrichment of the underground tuber of Guanyinlian and the resistance to cold and winter. Foliar fertilizer is sprayed every half month, and organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is applied once every two months. More nitrogen fertilizer can promote the appearance of leaves. When fertilizing Guanyinlian, use a thin-nozzle spray pot to slowly irrigate along the basin mouth, do not splash the fat liquid on the leaves, otherwise it is easy to burn the leaves.
