How to plant lotus seeds

1. Planting time

When planting, be sure to choose the right time and the temperature should be around 20℃. It is recommended that you do it around April, but it is also possible to do it between July and September. However, try not to plant it when the temperature drops to avoid affecting flowering.

2. Processing Lotus Seeds

Before planting lotus, you must prepare to grow plump lotus seeds. Lotus seeds are very hard and must be artificially broken before use, so a small hole should be ground on the end with the pinhole. You can use a vise to open it, cut it with scissors, or grind it open on the rough area.

3. Germination and sowing

Soak the cracked lotus seeds in clean water, making sure the water in the basin covers the lotus seeds. The water should be changed every day during the germination period. After soaking for about a week, the embryos will sprout. Generally speaking, you have to wait until the small buds grow out before peeling off part of the seed coat.

4. Cultivate seedlings

Prepare a flower pot with a depth of about 25-30cm, add pond mud into it, put the germinated seeds in, and then put 3-5cm of water on top. It should be exposed to sunlight more during the growth period.
