Wan Lian likes plenty of sunshine. If the sunshine is less than 4 hours a day, flower buds cannot be formed. In the growing season, it should be placed on the sunny balcony or window sill, so that you can receive sufficient sunshine. When the floating leaves are full of basin surface, they should be pressed into the bowl mud in time to avoid affecting ventilation and light transmission. Bowl lotus plants are delicate, so they need shade around noon in summer and early autumn to avoid direct sunlight. Leaves and petals burn easily if exposed to strong light. [2]
