Can lotus flowers be potted in the north? yes, but keep out the cold.

Lotus fog is a tropical fruit, the origin is generally hot and humid climate, now many friends in the north like potted tropical fruit, so lotus fog can be potted in the north? It is OK in principle, but we should pay attention to the conservation of the environment and whether the lotus fog can survive the winter smoothly.

To be honest, at present, there are not many potted lotus fog, especially in the north, because we should pay attention to temperature and humidity. If you want to grow lotus fog well, you should have heating in winter, and the minimum temperature should not be lower than 10 ℃ (whichever variety you choose, some varieties are not freeze-resistant, and some varieties are slightly freeze-resistant, such as eating missiles and black lotus fog, cold-resistant lotus fog, minimum temperature 3 ℃), and pay attention to moisturizing. If we can meet these conditions, let's take a look at the following.

1. Selection of varieties

Potted lotus fog selection is also very important, generally we can choose blood red (scarlet) as a potted variety, the effect is very good.

If you want potted plants to bear fruit, you must buy seedlings directly. Sowing seeds is suitable for potted plants.

On the other hand, lotus fog does not have very high requirements for soil, and it can be made of 70%, 80% of the relatively fertile soil (pond mud, humus, old garden soil, vegetable garden soil), 10% of 15% coarse sand, and 10% of 15% carbonized rice husks.

3. Watering, lotus fog likes moist soil, and it is necessary to have adequate water supply every year. Where the water edge of the lotus fog, the growth will be strong, and waterlogging tolerance is also strong, often soaked areas also grow normally, blossom and bear fruit. So even the lotus fog of potted plants should pay attention to replenishing water.

4. Pruning, pruning the fruiting trees once a year after fruit harvest, cutting off withered branches, overdense branches and overgrown branches, and erasing the sprouts from the trunk and main branches at any time. In addition, pruning should be combined with the adjustment of delivery period.

5. Change the basin. In order to ensure the growth of the lotus fog, we can change the pot soil once a year, usually after the fruit falls in March.
