How to plant lotus seed

First choose a healthy female fruit and leave the middle seed after eating the pulp. Then wash the seeds, soak the seeds in water for 3 days to crack and germinate, and change the water once a day. The seeds can be planted after germination, and the best temperature for planting is above 20 degrees, which can be germinated in about half a month.

Lotus Flower usually has its breeding period from May to July every year (naturally, because Lotus Fruit artificially interferes with its results, it will blossom and bear fruit at any time). During this period, Lotus Fruit will grow seeds, and other non-breeding times will not grow seeds. During its breeding period, farmers spray floral hormone (you can think of it as an abortive drug for plants) no less than four times to inhibit the growth of seeds. The dose and frequency of floral hormone spraying determine the number of seeds in the lotus mist (usually 6-8 at most and 1-2 at least). I don't know if you're satisfied with that.
