🌿 Cultivation & Care
The technical sheet indicates that the leaves measure approximately 10–15 cm, the flowers 5–10 cm, and the height of the plant around 50–60 cm, with a recommended planting depth of 10–20 cm of water. This mini-lotus format allows for enjoying remarkable flowering even in a decorative pot or a compact aquaponic tank.
Plant Chongban Bayi Lian in rich, clay-based substrate to anchor the rhizome securely. Full sun exposure is essential to maximize flowering, and a moderate water depth of 10–20 cm is ideal, making it especially suitable for shallow pots or tanks. In aquaponic systems, this lotus benefits naturally from nutrients provided by the fish, and its compact size makes integration easy. Regular removal of faded leaves and flowers maintains an attractive appearance and encourages new blooms.
