Snow lotus seed harvesting timeTo harvest the seeds, wait until they are mature. Generally, it takes about one and a half months for snow lotus to go from pollination to seed maturity. When the skin of the snow lotus seeds becomes translucent and the seeds can be vaguely seen, it means that they are about to mature. At this time, the leaf stalks will slowly wither and can be picked off. Note that if the climate is very dry, the snow lotus seed pods may crack, exposing the seeds and making it impossible to harvest them in time. If you cannot harvest the seeds in time, you should wrap them in a bag in advance to prevent the seeds from spilling. How to harvest snow lotus seedsHarvest the seeds of snow lotus. Note that if they are harvested in advance, the seeds may not be mature. Leave them where they will be used and let them dry slowly, and the seeds will also mature slowly. The dried seed pods will slowly crack open, revealing the seeds. Observation of Snow Lotus SeedsIn fact, if you have experience in collecting seeds, you will know that the seed pod of snow lotus has 5 pistils, and there are seeds in each petal. If pollination is not successful, the seed pods will be very dry, with no or only a small number of seeds inside, but mostly seed coats. The seeds of snow lotus are a unique wine red color and are relatively large in size. To separate the seeds and the seed coat, you can place the seeds on a piece of white paper, tilt the paper, and gently tap the paper. Mature seeds are heavier, while the seed coat is lighter, so the seeds and the seed coat can be separated. Just collect the separated seeds. |
