How to Plant Lotus Seeds?

[Albert]

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice on how to plant lotus seeds. I’m not sure about the best way to prepare the seeds, what kind of water or soil they need, or how to care for them while they grow. Any tips or step-by-step guidance would be really helpful!

Scarify the seed (lightly file or nick the hard shell), then place it in warm water and change the water daily until it sprouts. Once it has leaves, plant it in heavy clay soil under shallow water in a sunny container or pond.

To plant lotus seeds, lightly file the hard shell, soak them in warm water until they sprout, then place in clay soil under shallow water. Keep the container in sunlight and slowly raise the water level as plants grow well.
