Care Instructions for Akhila Lotus Plant
For the Akhila Lotus to flourish, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Light Requirements: The Akhila Lotus requires full sunlight for at least 6-8 hours a day to bloom profusely. Place it in a location where it will receive plenty of direct sunlight, such as in an open area of your pond or garden.
- Watering: As an aquatic plant, the Akhila Lotus thrives in shallow water. The water level should cover the soil but not submerge the entire plant. Maintain a water depth of 12-18 inches, and ensure the water is clean to prevent stagnation and promote healthy growth.
- Soil and Container Planting: If planting in a pond, use a shallow, wide container filled with loamy soil. Submerge the container in the pond just below the water surface, allowing the lotus to grow and bloom. Ensure the container is stable and will not tip over as the plant grows.
For large containers or tubs, fill the container with aquatic soil and place it in a sunny location where the water level remains consistent.
- Fertilizing: Fertilize your Akhila Lotus during the growing season with a slow-release, aquatic plant fertilizer. Apply fertilizer every 3-4 weeks to encourage healthy foliage and vibrant blooms.
- Temperature: The Akhila Lotus prefers warm temperatures ranging from 75°F to 85°F (24°C to 29°C). It is sensitive to frost, so if you live in a cooler climate, consider growing it in a container that can be moved indoors or protected during the winter.
- Pruning: Regularly remove dead leaves and spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Pruning also prevents the plant from becoming overcrowded and keeps it looking tidy and healthy.
- Overwintering: In colder climates, bring the plant indoors or move it to a warmer area when temperatures fall below 50°F (10°C). For pond-grown plants, move them to deeper water or take precautions to prevent the roots from freezing.
- Pests and Diseases: While the Akhila Lotus is relatively pest-resistant, it may occasionally attract aphids or snails. Inspect the plant regularly and treat infestations with insecticidal soap, neem oil, or introduce natural predators like fish.
