How to fertilize lotus? What fertilizer is best

I. Fertilization timing

Lotus has relatively high fertilizer requirements. First is the fertilizer used when planting, and then the fertilizer used when it is growing relatively fast, specifically the fertilizer used in the two seasons of spring and autumn.

II. Types of fertilizer

What is used when planting is a base fertilizer, which can be mixed into the soil in some amount; a solid fertilizer is used, and of course bone meal can also be used directly instead, with good results either way. Then there is the fertilizer used during the growth stage; you can choose some purchased liquid fertilizer, such as urea and so on.

III. Fertilization methods

1. The base fertilizer can be mixed directly into the soil; make sure it is even, and the amount must not be too much. When applying liquid fertilizer, pay attention to dilution; you can pour the diluted fertilizer directly into the water in which the lotus is grown, and the concentration must not be too high at all.

2. The frequency of fertilization must also be noted, and it needs to be determined according to its variety. For larger varieties, they consume more nutrients, so the frequency can be higher. If it is a smaller variety, then the interval between fertilizations can be longer, and there is no need to fertilize often.

IV. Precautions

During high temperatures in summer and low temperatures in winter, lotus may enter dormancy because the temperature is unsuitable, and at this time there is no need to apply fertilizer, otherwise it will harm its health.
