Causes of Lotus Flowering in Autumn

1. Lotus flowers generally bloom above 28 degrees Celsius, and this temperature can only be reached in summer and early autumn, and there are enough nutrients for plants to bloom in the mud pond in early autumn. When the temperature drops in autumn, the lotus will wither.

In early autumn, the sunshine is stronger. Lotus is a light-loving plant. If the light is sufficient, it can carry out photosynthesis, accumulate nutrients and promote flowering.
