Place the seeds in clean, warm water and keep them in a warm, sunny place. Change the water daily.
πΏ Wait for Germination
After the seeds sprout, allow the young roots and leaves to develop before planting.
πͺ΄ 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.
βοΈ Provide Sunlight
Place the lotus in a sunny location where it can receive plenty of direct sunlight each day.
