Focus on one end of the seed until you see the white inner layer. Be careful not to damage the seed inside. Scarification helps water penetrate the seed to promote germination. Soak the Seeds:Place the scarified seeds in a container filled with warm water. Make sure the water is not too hot, around room temperature to slightly warm is ideal.Change the water daily to keep it fresh and to prevent mold growth. Wait for Germination:Within a few days, you should see the seeds begin to swell and eventually sprout. This can take anywhere from 3 to 7 days, but it can sometimes take longer.Continue to keep the water fresh and warm during this period. Transfer to Soil:Once the seeds have sprouted and have grown roots and leaves, they can be transferred to a shallow container or pot filled with soil.Use a soil mixture that retains moisture well. A good mix is 60% clay and 40% sand.Plant the sprouted seeds about 1-2 inches deep in the soil, with the sprout facing upwards. Provide Adequate Water:Lotus plants thrive in water, so ensure that the soil is submerged in about 2-4 inches of water. As the plant grows, you can increase the water level.Keep the water warm and clean. Care and Maintenance:Place the container in a sunny location. Lotus plants need plenty of sunlight to grow.Monitor the water quality and change it if it becomes dirty or stagnant.Fertilize the plants every few weeks with a balanced aquatic plant fertilizer to promote healthy growth.
