Lotuses are the most eye-catching flowers in summer. Many people want to plant lotuses at home. But how to plant to make lotuses bloom beautifully? Let's have a look.

The leaves of the lotus are very large. Therefore, after determining to plant lotuses, we must choose a container suitable for the growth and development of the lotuses. The larger leaves and flowers, as well as the thicker roots and stems, determine that we should prefer the flowerpot with larger space in the selection of containers. It is better to select the flowerpot without holes at the bottom, with a diameter and depth of more than 40 cm. The small growth environment will restrict the growth and development of lotuses, and the leaves will not grow well. Of course, it would be better if there were a water tank or a small pond at home.

Lotuses have large leaves and flowers, which require high nutrient for growth. Moreover, most lotuses grow in ponds and other still water environments all year round. Therefore, when we choose the soil for cultivation, we should try our best to restore the soil environment that the lotuses like. We should choose pond mud or silt, and the soil should be fertile and moist. During cultivation, put some rotten leaf soil or peat soil at the bottom with a certain thickness as far as possible, so that the soil environment for lotus growth can be guaranteed.

As a representative of summer flower species, lotuses undoubtedly like light and high temperature very much. Only by being exposed to the sun can it ensure the photosynthesis of lotuses and promote the growth of lotuses. Only when the lotus leaves are large, the roots are strong enough, and the lotus flowers can bloom big and bright. Of course, the amount of light must be appropriate. Don't blindly guarantee the light conditions and expose the whole pot of lotuses to the sun. Although the lotus itself likes light and heat, too strong and direct sunlight will also cause the lotus leaves to be sunburned to a certain extent and will have a certain impact on the development of the lotus after a long time.

When planting lotuses, you must pay attention to the change of water in the basin. It is not enough for lotus to grow only on the soil environment. Sufficient water is also the guarantee for its growth. If the water in the basin is reduced, clean water should be added in time. At the same time, an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer should be added to ensure the sufficient nutrients for lotus growth. The continuous supply of nutrients will make the lotus grow more luxuriant and the flowers bloom more brightly.
