Now the weather is getting colder and colder, and the most suitable temperature for lotus flowers to survive winter is between 3-12℃. Therefore, some measures need to be taken to ensure the potted lotus flowers can survive the winter safely.
In the southern regions, lotus flowers generally do not need protection and can overwinter in the open field, while in the north, certain protective measures should be taken. Potted lotus flowers in the north are easily damaged by frost when cultivated outdoors in winter.
In the northern regions, lotus flowers usually enter the decline stage in mid to late September. The leaves gradually turn yellow and dry, and it is time to cut off the withered yellow leaves for storage. There are generally three methods:
One is pond storage:
You can put the potted lotus into the pond around the National Day. Add water to maintain the water temperature at 0℃ to 8℃ under the ice layer for overwintering. This method is generally adopted by parks or nurseries.
Two is cold storage:
In late October to early November, put the potted lotus into a cold storage, maintain the storage temperature at 0℃ to 8℃, keep the potting soil moist, and it can survive the winter safely. Nurseries generally adopt this method.
