The suitable temperature for lotus sowing is between 17℃ and 24℃, but the specific sowing time actually changes according to the region and climate.

Precautions for sowing lotus

Lotus If you want to sow lotus seeds, you must first break them, because the lotus seeds are too hard, so after the seeds are broken and the seed coat leaks out, you need to soak them for a few days and wait until the leaves grow before sowing.

When sowing lotus, you should pay attention to the fact that its sowing temperature requirements are relatively high. Generally, it starts to germinate at 8-10°C and starts to grow at 14°C. Therefore, when sowing, the temperature is best above 15°C.

Note that lotus flowers grow most vigorously in summer, so their demand for water is very high at this time. There should be no lack of water in the flowerpot at this time, and it is best not to submerge the leaves. In addition, lotus has a relatively high demand for fertilizer in summer. Fertilizer must be replenished in time to avoid poor growth.
