How to grow water lotus from seeds.

1. Sowing: plant in the ideal temperature and sunshine. Lotus seeds can be sowed at any time of a year. It usually takes around 50 to 60 days from sowing to blossoming, a little longer in autumn (60 – 80days), without any dormant period.
2. Seed treatment: break a little mouth on the sunken end of the seed, being careful not to hurt the embryo. Do not peel.
3. Seed germination: in summer, seeds should be good to be submerged in water. Keep them inside and changed the water twice a day. It should germinate within 1 week. After it has germinated, move it towards the sun, strengthen light each day but never let it dry out. It will grow fine-roots and 2 to 3 young small lotus leaves after two weeks.
4. Transplanting: choose a proper basin, put in a half basin of garden soil or soil without any chemicals. Immerse the soil in water for 2 weeks before you transplant the plant. Carefully transplant the seedlings into the soil, each into one basin. Top up the water after transplanting. (do not cover the lotus leaves)
