II. How to maintain lotus flowers during the blooming period?
1. Mud selection
The growing environment of lotus flowers is different from other flowers. You can collect silt from ponds or rivers and bring it back. If you are not sure that the silt water will become turbid, you can first lay fine sand from the river at the bottom and then place the silt, which ensures clear water and allows the lotus flowers to grow stably.
2. Water quality issues
If you plant lotus flowers in a small pond, there is no need to change the water frequently, just replenish the water in time. Lotus flowers in a culture dish can be changed every one or two weeks, which ensures clean water. In summer, it is necessary to replenish water in time and never let it run out of water, while in winter, corresponding warming measures need to be taken.
3. Fertilization issues
Lotus flowers are usually fertilized with phosphorus fertilizer, and a little nitrogen fertilizer can be added if necessary. If you are not sure, you can buy special fertilizer directly. If you have organic fertilizer at home, it is recommended to mix it with silt before adding it, which will have a better effect. In summer when lotus flowers grow vigorously, if you find that the leaves turn yellow or fall off, you can add some urea mixed with silt, but not too much.
4. Disease issues
Preventing and controlling diseases should focus on preventive measures, such as selecting good disease-resistant varieties and clearing dead branches and leaves in time. Additionally, alternating between wet and dry conditions can effectively prevent harmful bacteria.
