4. Precautions

Basic fertilizer can be used when potting. Top dressing is required after floating leaves. Fertilization during the flowering period requires special attention. Bone meal, cake fertilizer, etc. can be selected as base fertilizer, and granular compound fertilizer can be used as top dressing during the growth period. The base fertilizer is mixed directly into the pond mud. The granular fertilizer is added about 10 grains at a time during the growth period, and more is needed during the flowering period. It is better to fertilize once every 7-10 days. Be careful not to fertilize during the dormant period. You can add a certain amount of water after fertilizing.

1. Fertilization time

Lotus prefers fertilizer and needs more fertilizer. First of all, when potting, you can mix in a certain amount of base fertilizer. There is no need to top-dress fertilizer when it is in the seedling stage. Top-dressing fertilizer is only required after the leaves float. Fertilization is required thereafter, especially when it is in the flowering stage.

2. Types of fertilizers

As base fertilizer, you can choose some solid substances, such as bone meal or cake fertilizer. For top dressing during the growth stage, you can choose some granular fertilizers purchased from the store, which are easier to exert their effects and less likely to cause fertilizer damage.

3. Fertilization method

1 , after selecting the base fertilizer, just mix it directly into the pond mud, and then put it in the pot. When using granular fertilizer, you need to pay attention to the amount used. The amount added each time is about 10 grains. When it is in the flowering stage, it needs more fertilizer, so you can use more.

2. The interval between fertilization can be 7-10 days, and the interval should not be too short.

IV. Precautions

1 When the lotus is in the dormant period, its growth is basically stagnant, so it is not suitable to fertilize at this time. It is better to pause for a period of time.

2. Since lotus is grown in hydroponics, it is best to add a certain amount of water after fertilization, which can dilute it.
