How to germinate water lily seeds and how to plant them after germination

1. How do seeds germinate?

1. Seed cracking: Water lily seeds are very hard. If they are not cracked, water cannot penetrate into the roots, resulting in failure to germinate. Before soaking and germination, you need to break the hole. You can use tools such as pliers, or you can directly rub the water lily seeds on rough and uneven ground. Be careful not to damage the embryo inside when breaking the water lily seeds, otherwise it will affect the survival rate.

2. Soaking to germinate: prepare a container, put the seeds in the container, fill it with clean water, and then put the container in a warm place. Change the water twice a day and maintain a suitable temperature. It will germinate in about a week.

2. How to plant after germination

1. Preparation: After observing the seeds sprout, you can place them in a sunny place. After about two weeks, fine roots and tender leaves will grow. While waiting for it to germinate, you need to prepare suitable containers and fertile nutrient soil for later planting.

2. Planting: After four or five leaves have unfolded, you can plant. Fill the container with nutrient soil, then plant the germinated water lily seeds in it, gently press the soil, and then add an appropriate amount of water.
