How to plant lotus, how to plant lotus seeds

1. Prepare seeds

Before planting, select the seeds first, and the seeds must be complete and the outer skin must not be damaged. The outer skin is relatively hard and it is difficult to grow sprouts. In order to make it germinate as quickly as possible, the black outer skin needs to be ground off. This will help the seed core inside to germinate as quickly as possible. Do not grind off the sprouting end. After removing the outer seed coat, put it in a plate with water, making sure the water inside can submerge and cover the seeds. Change the water in the morning and evening, maintain a warm climate around it, and it will germinate after a period of time.

2. Prepare the container

When planting lotus, you can choose a clay pot. There should be no drainage holes at the bottom to prevent water from leaking out. The substrate can be pond mud, which is rich in humus and can meet the needs of growth. If conditions do not permit, you can also use a mixture of humus, garden soil, sandy soil, etc.

3. Planting

It is best to choose spring as the planting time. The lotus seeds will have germinated before then. You only need to transplant them into the soil in a container and add some water that does not cover the tender sprouts at the top of the seeds.

4. Post-management

After planting, place it in a place with scattered light for maintenance. After it gradually adapts, expose it to more sunlight. Do not apply fertilizer at the beginning, and then gradually apply fertilizer to supplement nutrients.
