There are two planting methods of ornamental lotus: seed planting and split lotus planting. For seed planting, it is necessary to break the seed skin in advance, change water frequently during planting, and transplant it after sprouting; for split lotus planting, it is necessary to insert it obliquely into the soil from March to April, and then place it in the sunshine, and deepen the water level to 3-5cm after sprouting.

In the process of germination, the water should be changed frequently to keep the water quality clear and sprout about one week. When the root grows to about 10cm, transplanting can be carried out. One plant can be cut in each basin. The water layer should be about 3-5cm shallow, and the lotus leaf cannot be submerged in the water.
