The following editor has sorted out the relevant methods for your reference.

Spring

During the growing season, we should pay attention to sufficient light, timely fertilization, and apply nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer every 10 to 15 days to promote the healthy growth of flowers and leaves. Avoid stagnant water in the basin to prevent rotting roots. From April, buds appeared at the edge of the fleshy upper half of the leaves, and gradually expanded, and bloomed half a month later. If the plant is undernourished and weakens, it will not blossom or blossom less. In order to prevent this phenomenon, the available phosphate fertilizer can be applied one or two times in advance. At the same time, too many lateral buds and basal shoots should be erased.

This not only promotes it to grow new branches and leaves, but also helps to grow buds and blossom next spring. If you want to increase the number of stems, it is necessary to seize this favorable period to leave buds. At the height of summer, when the arrow lotus enters the semi-dormant period, it should be placed in a ventilated and cool semi-shade, stop fertilizing, water not too much, and keep the potted soil a little dry to prevent it from being too shady so as not to affect flowering.

Autumn

It is the second peak growth period of the year, and the new leaves are gradually aging and mature. the method of management and maintenance is basically the same as in spring and early summer from May to June, with 2-3 times of topdressing, mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. And increase the light time.

Winter

Stop fertilizing, control watering, basin soil is dry, too wet will cause leaf wilting and root rot.
