2. Soak the cracked seeds in warm water and change the water 2-3 times a day.

3. After two days of soaking, there will be signs of germination. After 5 days, the buds will be one centimeter long, and they will grow very long after 5 days of teething.

4. Choose a bottomless ceramic pot or plastic flower pot, add half a pot of garden soil or river mud pond without chemical pollution into the pot, soak it in water 2 weeks in advance, do not apply fertilizer, press the heels of the small lotus seedlings into the mud when transplanting, plant one plant in each pot, add appropriate amount of water after transplanting, and do not add water to submerge the small lotus leaves.

5. You can buy some sand from the aquarium store, sprinkle the sand little by little, and spread it on the mud. Sprinkle the sand several times, sprinkle it once, wait for the water to settle, and then sprinkle it again, until the whole tank is evenly sprinkled.
