1、 Sowing time

Lotus seeds have no specific dormancy period. As long as the temperature can be kept above 16 ℃ during sowing, they can be sown all year round. If the light and temperature are appropriate, it usually takes 50 to 60 days from sowing to flowering in spring and 60 to 80 days in autumn

2、 Treated seeds

The outer shell of the lotus seed is very hard. Before seed soaking, clamp the end with small pits with pliers or grind a small hole on the ground

3、 Seed soaking and germination

Put the seeds in a container filled with water and soak them in a warm environment. They will germinate in about one week and grow fine roots and young leaves in two weeks

4、 Transplanting bud and Seedling

Prepare a flowerpot without bottom hole, add half a basin of river mud, soak it with water in advance, and press the root of germinated lotus seeds into the river mud
