The growth process of lotus goes through six stages. During the germination period in spring, the water should not be too deep and the seedlings should be kept warm to avoid frostbite. During the seedling stage, after the floating leaves unfold, the water should be deeper and provide sufficient light. Apply some compound fertilizer after it grows 5-6 leaves. The leaf-standing stage and flowering and fruiting stage are relatively important periods. Water needs to be added in time and fertilizer should be applied every 20 days. After the fruit matures, it enters the withering and dormancy stage and needs to be properly kept warm to wait for germination in the coming year.

1. Germination stage

1. Germination period

The germination period starts from planting and ends with the unfolding of the first floating leaf. During this period, the water depth is controlled at about 1-2 cm. At the same time, proper warmth should be maintained to avoid freezing of seedlings due to low temperatures.

2. Seedling stage

Seedlings The growth stage begins when the first floating leaf is fully expanded and ends when the standing leaf grows. At this time, the water depth is controlled at about 3-5 cm. Get more sun every day and increase the temperature of the water to help the growth of terminal buds. After there are 5-6 leaves, you can apply some compound fertilizer. The fertilizer should not come into contact with the leaves.
