1、 Preparation before sowing

When selecting lotus seeds, it is necessary to distinguish the growth direction of the tender buds of lotus seeds. One end of the lotus seeds has a small bulge and the other end has a small concave point. The concave point is the direction of the tender buds in the future. The shell of the lotus seed is very hard and it is difficult to peel it off, so you can file it with a file or grind a hole directly on the cement ground, but be careful not to damage the fruit inside the lotus seed. When opening, open one end with a concave point

2、 Soaking germination

After opening the lotus seeds, soak them. Soak the lotus seeds in a container filled with water. Change the water every morning and evening. Buds will grow after about a week

3、 Transplanting and planting

After 10 days, when the tender buds of lotus seeds grow to about 10 cm, they can be transplanted. Prepare the container, add the river mud into the container, put the germinated lotus seeds into the river mud, and gently add water. The water surface can be 2-3cm below the surface of the river mud. Pay attention to expose the tender buds of lotus seeds out of the water surface. Under the condition of sufficient sunshine, lotus leaves will grow in a month
