How to plant lotus? Is lotus cold-resistant?

1. How to plant

1. Time selection: When planting lotus at home for viewing, seeds are generally sown. It can be sown from April to August each year. The germination rate is the highest during this period, and it is also good for later growth. It is also possible at other times, but the survival rate will be lower.

2. Select seeds: Try to choose seeds with full grains. Such seeds contain sufficient nutrients and have a higher survival rate when planted.

3. Seed treatment: Because the shell of lotus seeds is very hard, they must be processed before they can be sown. The shell needs to be cut open, but the inside should not be damaged. After cutting, soak them in warm water to germinate. Change the water every morning and evening. Keep the surrounding temperature at around 20-25 degrees Celsius. After about 7 days, sprouts will grow.

4. Sowing: After the sprouts have grown stably, you can sow them in the soil and add appropriate amount of water to make the sprouts emerge from the water.

2. Is it cold-resistant?

Lotus is not cold-resistant. If the temperature is too low in winter, it will endanger the growth of lotus. Therefore, according to the local climate conditions, reasonable warming measures should be formulated to enable the lotus to safely overwinter. However, more cold-resistant lotus flowers have been cultivated now, and this type of lotus flowers can be planted safely in the north.
