2. Seed treatment: in order to improve the germination rate of seeds, it is best to make a small opening of the seeds before sowing to promote their germination. It should be noted here that try not to hurt the flower buds so as not to kill the seeds.

3. Soak the seeds: soak the treated seeds in warm water for a period of time until leaves and roots grow. It should be noted that when soaking, the water should be changed every 3 days to prevent the water quality from getting worse, affecting the absorption of the root system and failing to grow normally.

4. Planting: put a layer of coarse sand in the container, then put in the seedlings, and cover the seedlings with coarse sand to prevent the roots from floating.

5. Pour water: slowly add water along the wall of the container until it is level with the leaves.

6. Add nutrient solution: drop the nutrient solution into the container, and the general dripping amount can be added according to the instructions, so as not to cause the root to grow too much or too little.

7. Illumination: during the growth period of bowl lotus, the requirement of light is not high, it only needs to be placed in the environment of scattered light, in order to promote leaf absorption and rapid growth and flowering.

5. How many lotus bowls can be planted in a pot?

The bowl lotus seed is very small, generally can put more than one pot, but considering the problem of flowering and long leaves in the later stage, it can be determined according to the size of the flowerpot. For example, if the size of the flowerpot is about 20cm, you can plant a bowl lotus. If it is larger than 20cm, you can plant 2 million lotus seeds to ensure sufficient nutrients in the pot and promote root growth. However, it is no problem to plant too much, but transplanting it according to the growth situation in the later stage can also promote its growth.
