What is non -mumbo?
Nelumbo, also known under its common name Lotus, is the name of the genus for two species of aquatic plants: neumbo lutea and Nucifera . These permanent water plants, original from the eastern part of North America, the northern part of Australia and parts of Asia, often occur on the shallow edges of the ponds or along the mud banks of the tropical pools of water. Due to their wide leaves and fragrant flowers, they are also commonly grown in many tropical and subtropical areas.
Lutea , also known under its common name, American Lotus, is a water perennial with a circular greenish blue leaves, which are somewhat concave. The leaves can grow to about 20 inches (50.8 cm) wide with distinctive veins on their underside. The leaves of these plants are usually attached to the stopwatch that can be up to six feet (about 1.8 m). Yellow flowers look similar to large roses and may have a diameter of about 10 inches (25.4 cm). The point is that this aquatic plant is endangered or endangeredOn Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but considered invasive, harmful weeds in Connecticut.
Sacred Lotus, also known as its Latin name, nnucifera , is also a water perennial. It has wavy, green leaves that are circular and slightly concave. The leaves can grow about 32 inches (81.3 cm) on average and usually grow on prickly stems, which can reach a length of six feet (about 1.8 m). Double white or pink flowers resemble peonies and are quite fragrant. Blossoms is common that during the summer growth to about 12 inches (30.5 cm) on average.
The flowers of both Nelumbo species are popular in indoor or outdoor tropical pools as well as in a container filled with water on the terraces. If they are grown in the outdoor pool, containers must usually mix the fertilizer and the clay their soil. In addition, plants should be placed in full sun because in generalThey require two to three months of sunny weather and temperatures greater than about 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius). In general, flowers are open for three days at a time, and some varieties may change colors during this period.
In autumn, if temperatures immerse, it is important to gradually reduce the water level in an area where plants are rising. Once the water level is reduced far enough, the container holding the plant may be removed from the water properties. Alternatively, plants can be reduced to the bottom of the water water under the ice line. Under the ice line can have a good chance to survive the winter.
