To select a good lotus seed, you need to distinguish the growth direction of the lotus seed buds. At both ends of the lotus seed, there are small bumps at one end, and small pits at the other end. The concave side is the direction of the bud growth in the future. Lotus seed shell is very hard, it is difficult to peel it, so you can use a file to open or directly grind a hole in the cement ground, but you should pay attention not to damage the fruit inside the lotus seed, when opening, you should open the concave end.
After opening the lotus seed, soak it. Put the lotus seed in a container filled with water. Change the water in the morning and evening every day, and it will grow buds about a week later.
After 10 days, when the 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 sprouted lotus seeds into the river mud, and gently add the water. The surface of the water does not cross the river mud by 2 to 3 cm. Pay attention to expose the buds of the lotus seeds to the water. Under the condition of abundant sunshine, lotus leaves will grow in one month.
