Care Instructions for Drop Blood Lotus
To help your Drop Blood Lotus flourish, follow these simple care tips:
- Light Requirements: Lotuses thrive in full sunlight, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Place them in a bright, sunny location for the best blooming results.
- Water Depth: The Drop Blood Lotus prefers to grow in 12-18 inches of water. If growing in a container, ensure the water level is deep enough to cover the plant’s roots but not too deep to submerge the leaves entirely.
- Soil Type: Plant your lotus in heavy clay soil or a specialized aquatic planting medium. Avoid regular potting soil, as it can cloud the water.
- Container Size: If planting in a container, use a wide, shallow pot. Lotus plants need space to spread their roots, so a container at least 12 inches wide is recommended.
- Fertilizing: Fertilize your lotus during the growing season with a slow-release aquatic fertilizer. Apply every 4-6 weeks for healthy growth and abundant blooms.
- Water Temperature: The Drop Blood Lotus prefers warm water, with temperatures above 70°F (21°C). It thrives in the summer heat, but in cooler climates, ensure the water stays warm for optimal growth.
- Winter Care: In regions with freezing winters, protect your lotus by moving it to a deeper part of the pond or bringing the container indoors. The plant can go dormant during winter and will regrow in the spring.
- Pest Management: Keep an eye out for pests such as aphids or caterpillars. Rinse them off with water or use organic pest control solutions to keep your plant healthy.
