The shell of the seed is hard and dense, so it needs to be treated before sowing. Before seed soaking, artificial break can be made.
The method of breaking is very simple. One end of the lotus seed has a small sharp point, while the other end is round. You can put the round end of the lotus seed on the rough cement ground or use a knife to break it. However, we should be careful not to hurt the kernel inside the lotus seed or peel off the shell directly.
After the lotus seed breaks, it can be soaked and sprouted. Put the broken seed in warm water at 20-40 ℃. Then change water 2 to 3 times a day, usually there will be germination omen after 2 days, about 5 days there will be a centimeter of buds. At this time, you can sun the water lily properly and accelerate its growth.
When transplanting, you can choose a pottery basin or plastic flowerpot without bottom hole, and add garden soil or pollution-free river mud into the basin, and add water to soak two weeks in advance, do not fertilize.
When transplanting, you can press the fine roots of the lotus seedlings into the mud, one plant in each pot, add some water after transplanting, and take the water not to submerge the lotus leaves as the degree
You can buy sand from the aquarium shop and sprinkle it on the mud a little bit at several times. Wait for the water to settle and sprinkle again until the whole tank is evenly sprinkled. With sand, the water will soon clear. After changing into clean water, you can raise a few small fish in the basin. The fish can eat the worms in the water, and the excrement can fatten the flowers. The fish is downstream of the flowers. It's so beautiful!
