Lotus berthelotii is a trailing, perennial plant characterized by its delicate, silver-gray, needle-like foliage and vibrant, beak-shaped flowers. The flowers, which bloom from late spring to early summer, are usually a bright red or orange-red color, resembling the beak of a parrot, hence the common name "Parrot's Beak." The plant’s trailing habit makes it ideal for hanging baskets, rock gardens, or as ground cover.
Key Features:
🍃Foliage: Needle-like, silver-gray leaves that provide an attractive backdrop to the flowers.
🌸Flowers: Bright red or orange-red, beak-shaped blooms that are visually striking.
🌱Growth Habit: Trailing and spreading, making it excellent for cascading over edges or filling in gaps.
📏Height and Spread: Typically grows to a height of about 15-30 cm (6-12 inches) and spreads to about 60-90 cm (24-36 inches).
Care Tips:
🔆Light: Lotus berthelotii, commonly known as "parrot's beak," thrives in full sunlight. Plant it in a location where it can receive direct sunlight for most of the day. If grown indoors, place it near a bright window.
🏔️Soil: This plant prefers well-draining soil. A cactus or succulent potting mix or a sandy substrate works well to prevent waterlogging, which can damage the roots.
💧Watering: Lotus berthelotii does not require a lot of water. Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during the winter months.
🌡️Temperature: This plant thrives in warm climates. Maintaining a temperature between 15°C and 25°C (59°F to 77°F) is ideal. Protect it from frost during the winter, as cold temperatures can be fatal to the plant.
👨🌾Fertilization: During the growing season (spring and summer), you can fertilize Lotus berthelotii once a month with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Avoid fertilizing during the winter months.
✂️ Pruning: Pruning is not strictly necessary but can help maintain a compact shape and promote denser growth. Remove any damaged or dead parts.
🐞Pests and Diseases: This plant is generally pest-resistant but can be susceptible to aphids and mealybugs. Regularly check the plant and treat it with natural or specific insecticides if necessary.
