1. Can it be grown from lotus seeds?

Lotus seeds come from the lotus pods on the lotus flowers, and lotus seeds can also be grown into lotuses. However, you must pay attention to the planting method and create an environment suitable for growth to cultivate healthy lotus plants with a relatively high survival rate. When planting lotus seeds, you can choose around March to July every year. The climate during this period is very suitable, which can increase the germination rate.

2. How to use lotus seeds

1. Select and process lotus seeds: Lotus seeds are a very critical factor in planting. Select lotus seeds that are strong, plump and free of disease. Because the shell of lotus seeds is relatively hard, it is difficult for them to germinate and grow directly when planted, so you need to make a small hole in it, prepare warm water, soak the lotus seeds in it, and maintain a warm environment. They will germinate in about 3-4 days.

2. Prepare the container matrix: The container does not need to be too large, as long as it can meet the growth needs. The bottom should be closed and there should be no drainage holes. The substrate can be made of fertile pond mud, which ensures air permeability while also ensuring nutritional needs.

3. Planting and cultivation: Plant the lotus seeds in the substrate. After the soil becomes a little dry, add an appropriate amount of water. The surrounding temperature should be kept above 15 degrees Celsius. Only under this temperature range can the later growth be promoted.
