Culture methods and matters needing attention of Ling Arrow Lotus

1. Soil

So that the arrow lotus is not particularly high requirements for soil, the use of loose, fertile, well-drained sandy loam can. As long as you pay attention to the maintenance, do not harden the soil, ordinary soil can be used.

two。 Watering

Make the arrow lotus during the growth and development of watering to see dry and wet, pay attention to do not accumulate water in the basin, otherwise it is easy to cause rotten roots. When the buds have appeared but have not yet opened, watering can not be more, otherwise it will lead to falling flowers and buds.

In dry and windy spring and summer, we should often use clear water to spray stems and leaves, and sprinkle water to the surrounding ground to maintain high air humidity, which is more conducive to growth and flowering.

3. Sunshine

Make the arrow lotus like a warm and humid environment, but can not have direct sunlight, when the summer weather is hotter, the sun is relatively strong, to put the plant under the shade to avoid direct sunlight, often sprinkle or spray water on the surrounding ground to increase air humidity. The weather is cold in winter. Make the arrow lotus not resistant to cold. Put it in a sunny place after entering the house.

4. Temperature

So that the arrow lotus is not cold-resistant, the northern area should enter the house before and after the cold dew festival, and put in a sunny place after entering the house. From November to March, the curing temperature of arrow lotus should be kept between 10-15 ℃, and the temperature should not be too high, which is more than 25 ℃, which is easy to cause plant overgrowth and affect plant shape symmetry. From March to June, the temperature should be kept between 13-18 ℃. If the temperature is too low, it will affect the pregnant buds.

5. Pruning

Because the abnormal stem of arrow lotus is soft, it is necessary to use a thin bamboo pole as a pillar, it is best to tie it into an oval support, and tie the abnormal stem neatly and evenly on the support, which can not only prevent breaking, but also facilitate ventilation and light transmission, and make the plant shape symmetrical and beautiful.

6. Fertilizer application

Make the arrow lotus like fertilizer, and apply mature thin cake fertilizer and water every 15-20 days during the growing season. After the Spring Festival, liquid fertilizer should be applied every 10 days, and too many lateral buds and branches sprouting from the base should be erased in time to reduce nutrient consumption and keep the plant shape neat and beautiful. Increase the application of available phosphate fertilizer for 1-2 times at the bud stage to promote the large and colorful flowers.
