How to grow lotus on the terrace?

If you want to grow lotus on your terrace, you must first build a large lotus pond on your terrace, because lotus cannot live without water and soil, so if you don’t have a large container , even if you feed the lotus, it will not grow very vigorously.

If you want to build a lotus pond on the terrace, then you must first choose the location, preferably a south-facing terrace. Lotus flowers also need sunlight. If your terrace is in the north, it is not recommended. If you cultivate lotus in this way, because you have put so much effort into it, the lotus will not grow very well in the end.

After choosing the location, you need to decide how large a lotus pond you plan to build.

After deciding the area to be used, you can prepare the required mortar, cement, and building materials.
