Soil selection is the basis for breeding. Generally, soil with a soft texture and good water retention properties is used to breed red lotus. It likes sunshine very much. It can be exposed to full sun in the three seasons of spring, autumn and winter, and needs appropriate shade in summer. During the growing season, wait until the pot soil is completely dry before watering, and cut off watering in winter. Apply nutrients once every 20 days during the growth period. The optimal temperature is 15-5 degrees, and it cannot be lower than 5 degrees in winter.

1. Suitable soil

The choice of soil is the basis of breeding. Generally, soil should be softer in texture and have good water retention properties. You can mix peat soil with half of the granular soil, and add an appropriate amount of bone meal.

2. Give it light

It likes the sun very much. The light intensity in spring, autumn and winter is not very strong. In these three seasons, it can be exposed to full sunshine. However, in summer, it is afraid of being exposed to the scorching sun and needs to be properly shaded. This condition is very important. If it is not met, the color of the leaves will become lighter, the leaves will be elongated, and the shape will not be so beautiful.

3. Water appropriately

It can tolerate drought, so you don't need to water it too much. During the growing period, wait until the potting soil is completely dry before watering it thoroughly to keep the potting soil moist. When the surrounding air is dry, you can spray water around to avoid water accumulation. From the end of autumn, the water is gradually cut off, and there is basically no watering throughout the winter.

Four. Appropriate fertilization

It It loves fat and needs a supply of nutrients to maintain growth. It is generally applied once every 20 days during the growth period and needs to be paused during the dormant period. Excessive application will prevent the roots from absorbing it.

5. Temperature control

The optimal temperature is 15-5 degrees, and it cannot be lower than 5 degrees in winter.
