Care Instructions for Red Philip Lotus Plant
For the Red Philip Lotus to thrive, follow these easy care guidelines:
Light Requirements: The Red Philip Lotus thrives in full sunlight, needing at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. It’s best placed in a spot where it can receive uninterrupted sunlight, which helps it bloom more abundantly.
Watering: This lotus plant is aquatic and must be placed in shallow water. The water level should cover the soil but not submerge the entire plant. Keep the water clean and fresh to promote healthy growth and prevent stagnation. Make sure the water depth is between 12-18 inches.
Container or Pond Planting: If planting in a pond, place the lotus tuber in a wide, shallow container filled with loamy soil and then submerge the container just below the water’s surface. The plant will grow best in a pond or large water feature with a steady water level.
In large containers, ensure the container is wide and filled with aquatic soil. Place the container in a sunny location where the water level remains consistent.
Fertilizing: Fertilize the Red Philip Lotus during the growing season (spring to summer) using a slow-release, aquatic plant fertilizer. Apply fertilizer every 3-4 weeks to encourage strong growth and abundant blooms.
Temperature: The Red Philip Lotus prefers warm temperatures between 75°F to 85°F (24°C to 29°C). It thrives in tropical or subtropical climates and is not frost-tolerant. If you live in a cooler climate, consider growing it in a container that can be brought indoors or protected during colder months.
Pruning: Remove dead or fading leaves and spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Regular pruning keeps the plant healthy and vibrant and helps prevent disease.
Overwintering: In areas with cold winters, overwintering your lotus is essential. If grown in containers, bring the plant indoors when temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C). For pond-grown lotuses, move them to deeper water to prevent freezing.
Pests and Diseases: The Red Philip Lotus is relatively pest-resistant but may occasionally attract aphids or snails. Regularly inspect the plant and treat infestations with natural remedies like neem oil or biological controls, such as introducing fish to your pond.
