How to care for a bowl lotus to make the leaves round and beautiful
Let me tell you about how to care for a bowl lotus to make the leaves round and beautiful and the detailed tips on green plant care, including the following content:
Many flower enthusiasts love lotus flowers, but lotus flowers require a lot of space, so it's very unlikely to have enough space to care for them at home. Therefore, those who love lotus flowers often choose to care for bowl lotuses at home.
As the name implies, bowl lotuses are plants that can be cared for in a bowl. They have the same elegant temperament as lotus flowers but are smaller in size, making them more suitable for home care. However, some flower enthusiasts encounter problems when caring for bowl lotuses, such as leaves floating one by one on the surface of the water and difficulty in blooming. What's going on? Let's take a look at the tips for caring for bowl lotuses!
First point: Choose the right soil
Everyone knows that lotus flowers can grow well in muddy water, and bowl lotuses are the same. However, choosing good soil for caring for bowl lotuses at home is very important. It's best to use lotus pond soil, but it's not easy to collect, so flower enthusiasts can buy ready-made soil, which is more convenient.
If you can't collect lotus pond soil, I'll also tell you a good method for configuring care soil. Mix the disinfected decomposed leaf soil with water thoroughly, place the decomposed leaf soil in the bottom of the pot, then add water to cover the leaves, and care normally.

Second point: Temperature and sunlight
One very important point when caring for bowl lotuses is to ensure sufficient sunlight, and let them bask in the sun as much as possible. The more they are exposed to the sun, the more vigorous the bowl lotuses will grow. Flower enthusiasts don't need to worry about any amount of sun, and let them bask in the sun. This will help them grow more vigorously and bloom more beautiful flowers.
Also, the temperature of the care environment must be suitable. It only takes about three months from sowing to flowering. Generally, bowl lotuses will reach their peak growth period at around 16 degrees Celsius. During this period, you don't need to spend too much effort. The leaves will continuously grow upward layer by layer, and the roots will become more sturdy.
Third point: Fertilization
Of course, flower enthusiasts should not think that bowl lotuses don't need fertilization. If the water is too clear and lacks nutrients in the later stage of care, it will be difficult for bowl lotuses to bloom. Therefore, in addition to adding some fertile soil, you also need to supplement them with nutrients regularly. Decomposed leaf soil can be used, as it is rich in nutrients and contains the nutrients needed for plant growth, making it very suitable for bowl lotuses.
