What kind of mud does a bowl lotus need to grow in a pot? Can the flower soil bought in the flower and bird market be mixed with water? What is the ratio of mud to water when planting?

Although pond mud is the best way to grow water lilies, it can also be replaced by ordinary farmland soil, but the method is also very simple, that is, put the soil in a pot for irrigation, and then dry it in the sun until the water evaporates. Although there is a bowl in the name of the bowl lotus, it is better to have a larger container with a minimum diameter and depth of not less than 18cm. Otherwise, it won't grow well, and mud will probably occupy the height of the basin. If the basin is deep, leave 12- 15cm for water, mainly to see the sunshine. One of the conditions for the formation of lotus buds is not less than 8 hours a day.
