Seed planting should be carried out at a temperature of 20 ℃. It is suggested that it should be around April. Too low temperature will affect flowering. Before planting, select full seeds and make artificial break at the end with small pinhole. Then put it into the basin with clear water, change the water in time every day, put it into the flowerpot with tangmud after growing the germ, and then put 3-5cm water to complete the planting.

I. planting time

When planting, we must choose the right time, and the temperature should be around 20 ℃. It is suggested that you should do it around April and between July and September. However, try not to plant when the temperature is low, so as not to affect flowering.

2. Dealing with lotus seeds

Before you plant lotus, be prepared to grow plump lotus seeds. Lotus seed is very hard. It can only be used after it is artificially broken, so it is necessary to grind the end with small pinhole out of the mouth. It can be opened with a vice, cut with scissors, or ground in a rough place.

3. Germination and sowing

Put the lotus seeds that have been broken into water to soak. The water in the basin must not pass the lotus seeds. During the germination, water should be changed every day. After soaking for about a week, the germ will sprout. In general, we should wait for the sprouts to grow and peel off part of the seed coat.

4. Cultivate seedlings.

Prepare a flowerpot with a depth of about 25-30cm, add tangmud in it, put the seeds after germination into it, and then put 3-5cm water on it, you can see more sunshine during its growth.
