Maintain consistently moist soil for Lotus X, especially during active growth. Water thoroughly when the top centimeter of soil feels dry.

Reduce watering in autumn and winter, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Prune Lotus X primarily to remove dead or damaged foliage and spent flowers. Trim away any yellowing or brown leaves as they appear.

For shaping or controlling size, light pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp tools.

Lotus X can be propagated by division of rhizomes in early spring. Carefully separate sections of the rhizome, ensuring each piece has at least one bud. Replant the divisions in suitable potting mix.

Seed propagation is possible but less common for hybrids and may not result in true-to-type plants.

Repot Lotus X every 2-3 years, or when the pot becomes overcrowded, typically in early spring before active growth commences. Use a larger, deeper container with a well-draining, nutrient-rich soil mix.

Ensure the rhizomes are covered with a few centimeters of soil.
