How to sow Lotus japonicus

Seed treatment

Because its seeds are covered by a hard shell, the shell must be removed before sowing, otherwise it will affect germination. The seeds can be shelled with mechanical assistance, but it is easy to damage the seeds inside; they can also be soaked in warm water, but it takes a longer time, about 24 hours after the seeds are taken out of the water, dried, and then rinsed with clean water and dried again before sowing.

Sowing method

Sprinkle the processed seeds in the soil and cover them with a layer of soil about 1 cm to 2 cm thick. The distance between seeds should be about 30 cm.

Sowing time

If sowing is done in spring, try to do it in early spring; if sowing is done in autumn, it must be completed before the end of August.

Post-sowing management

After sowing, the soil should be kept slightly moist and the environment should not be too dry. You can spray mist around the plants from time to time.

When small sprouts emerge, always pay attention to clearing weeds and loosen the soil from time to time. Because the growth rate of small sprouts is extremely slow, doing so can ensure that the small sprouts grow stronger.

If the temperature is below minus 3 degrees Celsius in early spring or autumn, it is necessary to keep warm in time, otherwise the young seedlings will easily be frozen, as their cold resistance is very weak. Its optimal growth temperature is between 18 and 25 degrees.
