How to raise beautiful lotus in winter

1. The winter characteristics of this plant

First of all, it likes a warm environment and is not very cold-resistant. In winter, the range of five to seven degrees is the limit it can bear, and it can't go any lower, otherwise it will be frostbitten or even frostbitten to death. In addition, it has little demand for water in winter, on the one hand, because it is more resistant to drought and afraid of waterlogging, so it is not suitable for too much watering; on the other hand, it is basically stagnant when the temperature is low, so water demand is reduced. Then there is the light, winter needs more, otherwise the plant may appear loose shape, and the phenomenon of sparse leaves.

2. Specific practices

(1) from the end of autumn to the beginning of winter, the temperature begins to drop slowly, so at this time we have to prepare to move the plants indoors for maintenance. Keep the temperature above ten degrees Celsius and not lower than five degrees Celsius at least to ensure a safe winter.

(2) watering: try not to water in winter. If you observe that the soil in the basin is very dry and the leaves become dry, you can water it a little bit. However, be careful not to water too much, or it may rot.

(3) Light: it is very necessary for the plant to see the sun in winter, which can not only promote it to spend the winter safely, but also accumulate more nutrients, so as to make full preparations for the growth and flowering in the coming year.

(4) Fertilizer: like water, it is basically unnecessary because it grows very slowly at this time.
