Growth habit of lotus

Lotus is an aquatic plant, which likes relatively stable shallow water, lakes, swamps, wetlands and ponds, and is its suitable habitat. The water demand of lotus depends on its variety. The relative water level of large plant types such as Gulian and Chiba is deep, but it cannot exceed 1.7 m, and small and medium plant types are only suitable for water depth of 20-60 cm.

Meanwhile, lotus is very sensitive to water loss. As long as you don't irrigate for three hours in summer, the lotus leaves planted in the water tank will be sluggish. If the water is stopped for one day, the lotus leaves will be burnt and the buds will wither. Lotus is also very fond of light, and it needs a full light environment during its growing period. Lotus is extremely intolerant of shade, and it will show strong phototaxis when growing in semi-shade.
