Solutions for yellowing of lotus leaves: Increase sunlight exposure

Lotus prefers a warm growing environment, and it grows better between 15 and 30 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is too low, the leaves of the lotus will turn yellow. Therefore, we need to control the temperature of the lotus and take measures to keep warm in advance during winter.
Supplement water
Lotus requires a lot of water and will wither after three hours without water. Therefore, we must ensure that the lotus has sufficient water, especially in the summer when water evaporation is very high. If the lotus is short of water, its leaves will turn yellow.
Reasonable fertilization
The nutrients in the water are limited, so when taking care of the lotus, we need to fertilize regularly, with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers as the main and nitrogen fertilizers as the secondary.
