How to plant lotus

1. Preparation before sowing

To choose good lotus seeds, you need to distinguish the growth direction of the lotus seed buds. One end of the lotus seed has a small bulge, and the other end has a small depression. The side with the depression is the direction where the buds will grow in the future. The shell of the lotus seed is very hard and difficult to peel, so you can use a file to file it open or directly grind a hole on the concrete floor, but be careful not to damage the fruit inside the lotus seed. When opening, open the end with the depression.

2. Soaking and germination

After the lotus seeds open, they need to be soaked in a container of water. Change the water every morning and evening. After about a week, tender shoots will grow.

3. Transplantation and planting

After 10 days, when the lotus seed sprouts have grown to about 10 cm, they can be transplanted. Prepare a container, add river mud into the container, put the sprouted lotus seeds into the river mud, and gently add water. The water surface should be 2 to 3 centimeters above the surface of the river mud. Be careful to keep the tender sprouts of the lotus seeds above the water surface. Under sufficient sunlight, lotus leaves will grow in a month.
