Lotus Seeds, 10 pcs

This is for 10 lotus seeds.

I bought them because I wanted to try growing them, but I have too many, so I'm offering them to anyone interested.

You can sprout them in a cup or plastic bottle, and once they have 3 leaves and roots start to grow, you can plant them in a bucket or tub filled with mud (soil) and water.

It takes about 1.5 to 2 years for them to bloom. They grow quickly, sprouting in 3 days, and new shoots extend daily, making watching their growth a real pleasure.

To sprout them, you need to scarify the seeds. Gently file them with sandpaper until the thin skin is visible, then place them in a cup of water. I've heard stories of them sprouting in just one day after absorbing water through the scarification (one of the seeds in the image happened to sprout without scarification).
The germination rate is said to be 100%. There are records of lotus seeds from 1400 years ago successfully germinating.

You can find many growing guides online.
Why not try growing them in a bucket, or even in abandoned ponds or rice paddies?

Lotus leaves can be made into tea. In Vietnam, lotus leaf tea is sold and drunk daily. It has a fruity, easy-to-drink flavor and detoxifying properties.

Lotus flowers have a pleasant fragrance and various benefits; distilled versions are even commercialized.
Lotus seeds have a chestnut-like flavor. They can be boiled and added to porridge, and there are many ways to enjoy them.

I am also selling various other seeds. Please comment if you wish to purchase multiple items. For each additional item after the first, the price will be reduced by 50 yen.
