Bowl lotus cultivation is divided into seed planting and rhizome planting. In the south, rhizome planting can generally begin from mid-March until around Qingming. Seed soaking must be done around May. Some flower lovers soak seeds early, but early soaking is actually unnecessary. Northern regions can do it relatively later.

The planting method is very simple. Add two-thirds of thin mud to a pot, and plant the prepared rhizome near the edge of the pot. Some flower lovers choose the method of burying the head and exposing the tail (note: burying the head and exposing the tail means burying the top bud of the rhizome in the soil while leaving the tail end exposed). If you want to use the fully buried method, it also works.

Seed planting must wait until white root hairs and 2 coin leaves grow before transplanting. It is said that all things grow relying on the sun, and bowl lotus is the same, preferring strong light. When first transplanted, there is no need to add too much water. Let it be exposed to full sun until the soil cracks, then slowly add water, and there is no need to add a lot at once. As a reminder, after transplanting, it is best to place it in a position with strong light and good ventilation.
