First, prepare some sludge with high nutrient content, and lay it on the bottom of a 30 cm diameter earthenware basin without bottom hole. Then put the sprouted lotus seeds upward, bury them in the mud, and pour some water so that the water surface is about 10cm away from the soil surface. After that, put it in a soft light environment, and then cure it slowly.

1. Prepare basin soil

To plant lotus seeds, you need to prepare a flowerpot. The basin is required to have proper caliber, good enough permeability and certain water storage capacity. Therefore, we can choose a clay pot with a diameter of about 30cm without bottom hole as the flower pot for planting it. Planting it also needs to prepare some flower soil. Some sludge with high nutrient content can be selected. When you are ready, spread it on the bottom of the basin.

2. Planting

Use your hands to dig a few holes in the surface of the mud, and then carefully put the sprouted lotus seeds into the hole. Make sure that the side with buds is facing up. After that, fill the hole with surrounding mud, and then press it gently around to prevent it from floating up after watering. After that, you can add water to the basin. But don't add too much, just let the water surface about 10cm away from the soil surface.

3. Later maintenance

After planting, place it in a soft light environment. Add some water to the basin every few days to make up for the evaporated part. After it grows young leaves, it needs to increase the depth of water properly. But also not too deep, so that young leaves can just float in the water, not into the water is the best. After a period of time, when its roots and leaves are growing well, we can increase its light receiving time and apply fertilizer properly to help it grow
