Water lily planting

1. Planting method

1. Prepare seeds: Before planting water lilies, you must first prepare plump seeds, and there must be no signs of insect damage on the seeds. The containers you need should also be prepared. If you choose a mini bowl lotus, the flowerpot does not need to be too big.

2. Breaking: The seeds must be broken first, because the seeds are very hard and it is difficult for them to germinate if they are not broken. You can use pliers or put it on the cement floor and grind it until the side without the protrusions is grinded.

3. Germination: Prepare a basin of clean water, put the seeds in the water, and make sure the water level covers the seeds. The water temperature should be controlled above 16℃, and it will germinate after waiting for a week. If some seeds do not germinate, they can be picked out and thrown away.

4. Planting: Add half of the garden soil to the prepared flowerpot, and then place the sprouted seedlings into the soil. Don't plant too many plants in one pot, and the water level should not be higher than the lotus leaves.

2. Precautions

There is no need to add fertilizer to the soil. After planting, it should be properly watered and should not be too dehydrated. If it is rainy season, the accumulated water should be drained in time.
