Is Guanyin lotus easy to care for?
Summary: The topic of whether Guanyin lotus is easy to care for and sharing the cultivation methods of Guanyin lotus, which is a very good experience and knowledge, is recommended for collection!
As one of the most common succulent plants in our daily life, Guanyin lotus is actually very easy to care for, and the fact that it can be found everywhere in the north and south of the river is the best proof. I have also cared for Guanyin lotus before, and based on my experience, it can be cared for in two ways: one is the ordinary way of caring for many offspring. This way of caring for Guanyin lotus means that there are a lot of lateral buds, almost countless - eventually it turns into a pot-bursting state.

In the ordinary caring method, the proportion of granular soil for Guanyin lotus cannot be too high, and it is recommended not to exceed 60%. Of course, in order to better survive the summer, it is also recommended not to be lower than 50%. The medium for soil mixture can be decomposed leaf soil mixed with coarse river sand, a small amount of garden soil, and coal cinder, or it can be a mixture of granules such as maifan stone, volcanic stone, and植金石 with peat soil. Anyway, as long as the potting soil is loose, breathable, and has good drainage, it's fine.

Usually, we give Guanyin lotus sufficient sunlight, start watering when the bottom leaves become soft, and water thoroughly each time. In the high summer temperatures, it is appropriate to provide some shade and control watering. About once every two weeks, during relatively cool periods, water a small amount along the edge of the pot. Guanyin lotus is relatively cold-tolerant, and as long as the temperature does not drop below 0°C in winter, it can be watered and cared for normally. When the temperature drops below 0°C, it is necessary to stop watering and keep the potting soil dry, so that it can survive the winter smoothly.

The second is the unusual way of growing old stakes. Few people play this way because it takes a long time to grow old stakes. However, once Guanyin lotus has grown into old stakes, it is very characteristic. I have cared for it before, but I eventually killed it by changing pots frequently. If you want to grow old stakes for Guanyin lotus, the proportion of granules needs to be higher, except for young seedlings. We can increase the proportion of soil granules to about 80%, and sunlight and water must be controlled. Watering is done only when the bottom leaves appear dry and withered (still watering thoroughly). Under high-granule and controlled care, Guanyin lotus does not have the energy to burst lateral buds and the bottom leaves are constantly consumed. Eventually, it slowly turns into old stakes.

However, regardless of which caring method is used, except for high summer temperatures, Guanyin lotus must be given sufficient sunlight, and watering should be done only when the potting soil is completely dry, otherwise the leaves will turn upside down and become skirt-like shapes. At the most exaggerated times, it can even lift itself up. And it stays green all year round, which is not interesting at all.
The above is a specific introduction to whether Guanyin lotus is easy to care for and sharing the cultivation methods of Guanyin lotus, for netizens to refer to.
