Method for growing lotus seeds

1. Time

The best time to sow lotus seeds is in spring and autumn, that is, from March to May in spring and from September to November in autumn. Sowing during this period means suitable temperature and suitable humidity, which can let the lotus seeds germinate and take root as quickly as possible and help increase the survival rate.

2. Soil

Before planting lotus seeds, we must first prepare suitable soil. The lotus has a soil requirement of sandy soil with a deep soil layer, loose and porous texture, and good drainage and aeration. We can use a soil mixed from humus soil, perlite and sandy loam as the potting soil to grow lotus.

3. Planting

After preparing suitable soil, we need to sow healthy, plump lotus seeds without visible disease or shriveled grains into sterilized soil, and water an appropriate amount to ensure that the potting soil can remain in a relatively moist state for a long time. After a period of time, they will germinate and break through the soil.
