Lotus edulis prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but does best in soil that is not too rich in nutrients. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.Fertilizante
A balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10 can be applied sparingly during the growing season. Over-fertilization should be avoided as it can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.Trasplante

Lotus edulis can be propagated by seeds. Sow the seeds in early spring in well-draining soil. Keep the soil moist until germination, which usually occurs within a couple of weeks.Poda
Pruning is not generally required for Lotus edulis. However, deadheading spent flowers can encourage more blooms and prevent the plant from self-seeding excessively.Toxicidad
