The lotus balcony in the dry land raises a pot that blossoms every day and turns into a red waterfall to make tea.

Dry lotus, we call this the dry lotus. My neighbor planted a pot. There are a lot of flowers, bright colors, very beautiful. If planted on the balcony and managed properly, it will blossom into a flower waterfall. How to manage it? let's take a look at it:

In order to cultivate dry golden lotus, we must first master its growth habits: dry golden lotus likes loose soil, ventilation, good light, warm and refreshing environment. The suitable temperature is 15-28 ℃, the temperature is high, dormancy is high, and the growth is slow and does not bloom when the temperature is low. According to its needs, it should be adjusted reasonably when breeding.

Soil suitability

Golden lotus likes loose and breathable soil, which can be prepared with the proportion of garden soil, rotten leaf soil, river sand or perlite at 3:3:1, and a layer of organic fertilizer or self-made fertilizer is used as base fertilizer in the basin soil to increase fertility, which is very effective. Be careful that the fertilizer does not lean against the root system. This kind of soil, loose and permeable, drainage is good, is very suitable for root growth and absorption.

The light is suitable

Dry golden lotus likes warm sunshine, but it can't shine directly in bright light. Now summer, should pay more attention to light intensity, to appropriate shade, noon moved to indoor, there is astigmatism shining place. Remember not to expose yourself to the sun.

Watering the right amount

The stems and leaves of Nelumbo nucifera are juicy and like water very much, but his fleshy roots are afraid of waterlogging, so watering is the key. During the growing period, keep the soil moist, dry and must be watered thoroughly, but also pay attention to the drainage and permeability of the soil, must not be sticky and airtight! If you need less water in winter, you can see dry and wet.

When watering, ferrous sulfate can be added properly to prevent soil alkalinization, and the growth of soil alkalized plants is not exuberant.

Hit the top and pinch the heart

This environment is essential. Because the stem of Clematis paniculata is semi-climbing vine-like, and its length is relatively slender, if you let one of its branches get up, it will grow thin and careless, so you have to pinch your heart.

When the branches grow 4 or 5 leaves, pinch the heart and promote its vines to be sturdy and differentiate into lateral branches. Can wait for it to grow to four leaves, pinch the heart again, so that it will separate out a lot of vines, flower buds will differentiate more, explosive flowering, it is not difficult to bloom into a waterfall.

Fertilizer application

During the growing period, it was given thin cake fertilizer or nitrogen fertilizer solution twice a month. Increase phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in the first two months of flowering to promote flower bud differentiation and produce more buds. There is no need to apply fertilizer during flowering, but excessive fertilizer shortens the time of flowering, resulting in the phenomenon of falling flowers.

With this management, your dry lotus can almost blossom into a waterfall. And it can also be used to make tea, which has the effect of clearing away heat, refreshing and enlightening the eyes.
