1、 How do seeds germinate

1. Seed breach: the seed of water lily is very hard. If it is not broken, the water root cannot be soaked in, resulting in failure to germinate. Before soaking and sprouting, you need to break the opening. You can use tools such as pliers or directly rub the water lily seeds on the rough and uneven ground. Note that when breaking the water lily seed, do not hurt the seed embryo inside, otherwise it will affect the survival rate

2. Soaking and sprouting: prepare the container, put the seeds into the container, fill it with clean water, and then put the container in a warm place. Change the water twice a day and keep the appropriate temperature. The seeds can germinate within about a week

2、 How to plant after germination

1. Preparation: after observing the germination of seeds, they can be placed in a sunny place for about two weeks, and fine roots and young leaves can grow. While waiting for it to germinate, we need to prepare appropriate containers and prepare fertile nutrient soil for later planting

2. Planting: after four or five leaves are unfolded, they can be planted. Put nutrient soil into the container, then plant the germinated water lily seeds, gently compress the soil, and then add an appropriate amount of water
