How to plant golden lotus seeds

one. Seed processing steps before planting:

1 Because the seed skin of this plant is relatively thick, if you want it to sprout quickly, you must first remove the thick seed skin. At this time, you need to prepare a basin of clean water at about 40 degrees, put them in the water, and soak them for about 12 hours.

2 After soaking, you can prepare a pair of tweezers to carefully remove the outer skin of the seeds. Be sure to remove it carefully without damaging the inside of the seeds.

3 After picking, continue to soak it in water for 12 hours. At this time, it is best not to let the water cover the seeds.

4 After soaking, you can take out a piece of unscented paper towel, fold it 6 to 8 layers, put the paper towel in a small plate, wet it with clean water. It is best to wet the paper towel thoroughly. Then place the soaked seeds in the middle of the paper towel and press lightly.

5 Finally, prepare a transparent and clean food bag, put the small plate together with the paper towel and seeds inside, tie the food bag tightly, and allow it to breathe for about 15 to 30 minutes every day.

6 If you use paper towels to stimulate the growth of seedlings, the tip of the bud will appear in about two to seven days. Wait until the tip of the bud is two millimeters long, then you can plant it in the soil.

two. Steps for seed planting:

1. Prepare soil that has good drainage, no water accumulation, sufficient nutrients, and is conducive to root breathing.

2 When planting, leave enough space between the seeds and decide whether to plant them compactly or loosely based on the shape of the adult plants you want to see.

3 Sprinkle the seeds evenly on the soil. There is no need to water them much, just keep the soil moist enough, because this plant likes moisture and has poor waterlogging resistance.

4Choose a good time for sowing. If sowing is done in spring, the high temperature in summer is not conducive to the growth of this plant, so sowing should be done earlier in spring, preferably in early February to early March. If you choose to sow in autumn, it is best to sow in late September or early October.
