Producer:  Riya Ashok

Use a nail file or piece of sandpaper to gently file or nick the seed coat in order to facilitate water absorption and easier germination.

After scarifying, let the lotus seeds soak for 24 to 48 hours in warm water. 

To avoid crowding, soak each seed separately before planting.

In the dirt, bury the seeds about 2 inches deep. 

Warm temperatures are necessary for lotus seed germination. 

Lotus plants require constant wetness because they are aquatic. 

You can begin fertilising the lotus seedlings once they have developed a few leaves. 

You can move your lotus plants into a bigger, permanent pond or container once they are big enough.

Because of their propensity for rapid development, lotus plants may occasionally require pruning in order to preserve the proper shape.
