What does the lotus represent in terms of symbolic meaning?
Do you know this? The symbolic meaning of the lotus and a brief introduction to the flower language and implications, along with some small experiences in plant cultivation, are as follows:
The lotus, known as the "green canopy beauty" by literary scholars throughout the ages, is also called the lily, water chestnut, and藕花. Its flower language symbolizes purity, nobility, and modesty. The lotus is also widely used, suitable for cut flowers, ornamental purposes, food, and medicine.
The lotus is one of the oldest dicotyledonous plants and also has certain characteristics of monocotyledonous plants. It is a perennial aquatic herb; the rhizome is horizontal, thick, with expanded internodes and numerous longitudinal aeration channels. The flower diameter is 10-20 centimeters, beautiful and fragrant.
The lotus has been cultivated in China for more than three thousand years, and carbonized ancient lotus seeds have been discovered in Liaoning and Zhejiang, which shows its long history.
The propagation of lotus is generally by seeds, first requiring the shell to be broken. From May to June, the concave end of the seed is ground on a concrete floor or rough stone to break it open, then soaked to grow seedlings. The water should be kept clean and changed frequently, and sprouts will appear in about a week.
The lotus is an aquatic plant that prefers relatively stable shallow water, lakes, marshes, and ponds. The water requirement of the lotus varies by its variety. The lotus is very sensitive to water loss; in the summer, if it is not watered for three hours, the leaves in the pot will become droopy, and if the water is stopped for a day, the leaf edges will become crispy, and the flower buds will wither.
