The arrow lotus is an epiphytic perennial evergreen succulent plant of the cactus family. Because of its stalks like arrows, flowers named after the lotus. The stem is long, flat, needle-shaped, bright green, with a reddish edge and coarse serrations. The flowers are born on both sides of the apex of the stem. The flowers are large, bell-shaped, and the petals are bright red. The inside is magenta, the filaments and styles are curved, and the flower posture is beautiful. Flowering from May to June. There are many horticultural varieties, rich in color, with light red, white, light green, light yellow, orange red, deep purple and dark red and other colors.

Sex is warm, moist and sunny, and it is more tolerant to drought. It should be loose and fertile, well drained, and rich in organic matter. The key points of the four seasons management of the potted arrow lotus are:

After 14 months, the arrow rose slowly as the temperature rises. At this time, it should be placed in the ventilation area of ​​the Yang sill, watering should not be more, to keep the basin soil slightly moist.

2 Apply nitrogen and phosphorus combined liquid fertilizer every 2 weeks for 2 to 3 consecutive applications. After 4 to 5 months, when buds appear on the transformed stems, apply topdressing phosphate fertilizer once more. If nutrient supply is insufficient at this time, not only is it weak, but it also has little flowering. After the pregnant bud, the red arrow will retain up to 3 buds on each stem slice, and the rest of the buds should be sparse so that after flowering, flowers can bloom and the plants develop well.

3 Control the amount of watering during flowering. If watering is too much at this time, it can cause falling buds.

4 If you can prevent strong light during flowering, you can extend the flowering time. There is a period of dormancy after flowering. At this time, proper control of water and fertilization is needed to prevent rot.

5 Place it in the shade in the summer to avoid sun exposure, otherwise the metamorphosed stems tend to yellow. Due to high temperatures and rapid evaporation in summer, watering can be more appropriate. Apply nitrogen fertilizer-based liquid fertilizer every two weeks or so and apply it continuously for two to three times.

6 After the autumn, the new stems begin to mature. At this time, attention should be paid to reducing watering and topdressing 1 to 2 organic phosphate fertilizers to promote flower bud differentiation. The weakening of the light intensity in the autumn requires an increase in the duration of sunshine. If the lack of illumination in the autumn or excessive fertilizer or water management leads to longevity, it will result in no flowering or little flowering in the following year.

7 In the winter, let the indoor sunlight be adequate, and fertilization should be stopped. Watering should be controlled so that the potted soil is partially dried. The room temperature is maintained at 10~15°C. Excessive temperatures can easily cause leggy and affect the appearance of the plant.

8 Generally, the pots are changed after flowering every other year. When the pots are changed, some decaying roots and old soil are cut off. The cultivation with 4 pieces of rotted leaves, 4 pieces of garden soil, 1 part of river sand, and 1 part of compost soil are supplemented. Soil, and put a small amount of bone powder in the pelvic base fertilizer.

9 make the arrow lotus metamorphosis stems soft, need to be promptly set stent binding, so that it is evenly distributed. When a round stick-shaped stem piece appears, it must be cut off in time.
