Bowl lotus is the ultimate in miniature charm. When it blooms, the flowers are charming and lovely, with clear layered petals. A small pot at home is completely like a miniature lotus pond, very exquisite, and much loved by flower lovers.

Today Hua'er will introduce to everyone how to grow bowl lotus well. Make every pot burst with blooms and flower every year!

1. Choosing the pot and filling it with soil

You can choose a beautiful glass pot or another attractive container, then first spread a layer of soil in the pot, not too thick, about 2cm is enough, then add some organic fertilizer, organic fertilizer rich in nitrogen, and finally cover with a thicker layer of soil, up to 4cm to 6cm, then slowly add water until all the soil is soaked through, then place in a cool, shaded spot and soak for four or five days.

2. Planting the bowl lotus

Take out the seeds and plant them directly in the middle of the pot, gently press them down with your hand. Be careful to keep the sprouting point of the seed facing up, so it can grow better. Then slowly pour in water so the water line just covers the sprouting point, then place it in a bright, cool, ventilated spot.

3. Adding water

As the bowl lotus keeps growing, add water to the pot at regular intervals until the sprouting point grows above the pot rim; when the water surface is about 1-3cm below the pot rim, stop adding water.

4. Light

When the bowl lotus grows above the pot rim, you can gradually move it to a spot with light. First let it receive plenty of scattered light, which helps its metabolism and better growth.

5. Fertilizing

When planting, you can add a fairly large amount of organic fertilizer, so during the growing period there is no need to fertilize much more. When it grows vigorously and puts out flower buds, just add a little nutrient solution. This can promote the bowl lotus to bloom many flowers, with plump flowers, and extend the flowering period.
