Sleeping lotus is one of the lotus flowers with special morphological and ecological characteristics. The proper planting and healthy growth of sleeping lotus requires attention to the following:
Soil selection: sleeping lotus does not require soil, but it is preferable to choose a viscous soil that is organically rich and well drained。
Seed treatment: seeds need to be pretreated before seeding. Feeds are immersed in water for three to five days until they begin to germinate。
Seeding: seeds are planted in flower basins or ponds at a time when spring temperatures are above 15°c. When seeding takes place, the seeds are evenly distributed on the soil surface and then slightly cover a layer of soil。
Water management: sleeping lotus needs adequate moisture, but also attention to drainage. When water is watered, it should be ensured that the water is fully permeable to the soil, while avoiding the root oxygen deficiency caused by excessive moisture。
Light management: sleeping lotus needs plenty of sunlight, preferably in a direct light. In summer heat, shades are needed to avoid excessive sunlight leading to leaf decay。
Fertilizer management: appropriate fertilization is required during growth. The application of decomposed organic or compound fats, usually once a month, helps to promote the growth of sleeping lotus。
Pest and pest management: sleeping lotus is vulnerable to pests such as aphids and foliage. There is a need to periodically check whether the plant is showing signs of disease or disease and to take timely preventive and curative measures。

Adaptive: sleeping lotus are more resilient to the environment and can grow under different soil and climate conditions。
The following should be noted:
Timely change of water: water needs to be replaced once a week at high summer temperatures to keep water quality clean. In other seasons, the frequency of water exchange can be reduced appropriately, depending on the actual situation。
Avoid pollution: when changing water, ensure that water sources are not contaminated in order to avoid harm to sleeping lith. It is also important not to damage the root line of the sleeping lotus when changing water。
