How to plant lotus seeds

Before planting lotus seeds, make a small hole in the round part of the lotus bowl, grind off the seed coat, then soak the seeds in warm water for 3-5 days, let them absorb water and sprout, and finally transplant them into a container. When transplanting, it is best to put some soil at the bottom of the container, then bury the roots in the soil, and finally add a small amount of water.

Specific planting methods of lotus seeds:

1. Seed treatment

Because the shell of the lotus seed is relatively hard, it is necessary to treat the seed before sowing. One end of its seed has a small convex tip, and the other is round, grinding the round end on the rough cement floor or filing a small opening.

2. Soaking seeds to accelerate germination

Soak the broken seeds in warm water of about 20-40 ℃. When the water temperature drops to 20 ℃, the germination rate of the seeds will be slow. If the amount of seed soaked is not much, you can put it into a thermos flask to keep warm. Generally soaking seeds to accelerate germination only takes about 3-5 days to germinate, and the germ will protrude a small bud from the break. During this period of time, the water will be changed every 1-2 days or so. Generally, as long as the seed coat can absorb water and expand, it will sprout.

3. Transplanting sprouts

Choose a non-porous pottery basin or fish tank and pour half of the garden soil or uncontaminated river pond mud into the container. Soak with water in advance without applying fertilizer. When transplanting, press the roots of the seedlings into the soil, and then add the right amount of water, the amount of water should not be less than its leaves.
