Do not water too much when the bud is present but not open, otherwise it is easy to cause the flower to fall. In dry windy spring and hot summer, it is often necessary to spray abnormal stems with clear water and sprinkle water on the ground around flowerpots to maintain high air humidity, which is conducive to growth and flowering.

3, sunshine: make the arrow lotus like the warm and humid environment, but avoid direct sunlight, the summer weather is hot, the sun is strong, should be placed under the shade shed to avoid direct sunlight, and often spray water around the basin to improve air humidity. The cold weather in winter makes the arrow lotus not resistant to cold, so put it in a sunny place after entering the house.

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 conducive to ventilation and light transmission, so as to make the plant shape symmetrical and beautiful.

6. Fertilization: make the arrow lotus like fertilizer, and apply mature thin cake fertilizer and water every 15-20 days in 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.
