🌱 Prepare the Seeds
Gently scratch or file one end of the lotus seed shell to help water enter the seed.
💧 Soak in Water
Place the seeds in clean, warm water and keep them in a warm, sunny place. Change the water daily.
🌿 Wait for Germination
After the seeds sprout, allow the young roots and leaves to develop before planting.
🪴 Plant in Soil
Transfer the sprouted seeds into a container with rich, heavy soil. Cover the roots gently while keeping the growing tip above the soil.
☀️ Provide Sunlight
Place the lotus in a sunny location where it can receive plenty of direct sunlight each day.
💦 Maintain Water Level
Keep the soil consistently wet and maintain enough water above the soil. Avoid letting the growing container dry out.
✂️ Regular Care
Remove damaged or yellow leaves and provide adequate sunlight, water, and nutrients for healthy growth.
