How to plant lotus seeds

1. Sowing time

Lotus seeds do not have a specific dormancy period. As long as the temperature can be kept above 16°C during sowing, they can be sown all year round. If the light and temperature are suitable, it usually takes 50 to 60 days from sowing to flowering in spring and 60 to 80 days in autumn.

2. Seed Processing

The outer shell of lotus seeds is very hard. Before soaking the seeds, you should first break the dented end of the lotus seeds with pliers or grind a small hole in the ground.

3. Seed Soaking and Germination

Soak the seeds in a container of water in a warm environment. They will germinate in about a week and grow thin roots and tender leaves after two weeks.

4. Transplanting seedlings

Prepare a flowerpot without bottom holes, add half a pot of river mud, soak it in water in advance, and press the roots of the sprouted lotus seeds into the river mud.
