Although lotus seeds have a long life and can germinate for hundreds of years and thousands of years, mature and full seeds should be selected for propagation.

The price of lotus seed is about 20-30 yuan per jin, but the price varies greatly due to the quality, variety, producing area and market of the seed. The lotus should break its shell before using seeds to raise seedlings, wear out the sunken end of the seeds on the cement ground or rough stones from May to June, soak the seeds and raise seedlings, keep the water clear and change water frequently, sprout in about a week, and take root and transplant after two weeks. Usually about 90% can blossom in that year, but there are not many flowers in that year.

3. Seed breeding: after being treated, the lotus is soaked in warm water to germinate, and the water temperature is kept at 10 to 15 degrees to fully see the sun.

4. Seedling transplanting: Lotus seedlings can be transplanted when they grow to 3 or 4 floating leaves, and one seedling is planted in each pot.
