Lotus mix / Nelumbo caerulea
Lotus seeds (as well as other parts of it) occupy an important place in the national cuisine of the East, and in its medicine. And not because this flower is considered sacred. On the contrary, the plant acquired holiness due to its healing properties.
Although this plant is associated with Asian countries (China, Korea, India), the lotus is native to North Africa. More specifically, Egypt. It was from the banks of the Nile that the "journey" of the flower began tens of thousands of years ago.
The flower itself is a large water lily, the petals and leaves of which are covered with a wax coating, so that they do not get wet and always remain above the water. Lotus has very powerful rhizomes.
The lotus is not only a decorative ornament, but also a "mini-pharmacy" of home ambulance.
The lotus flower opens at dawn and closes in the evening. Early in the morning the flower can be bright pink, and in the afternoon you can distinguish shades on the flower from white to pink. It is best to pluck lotus flowers at dawn in order to use them in medicine or cooking.
You can admire the most beautiful water lilies of white, pinkish, lilac shades even on our reservoirs.
The lotus is such a life-loving flower that it will easily settle in the pond of the garden plot. And it will serve not only as a decorative decoration, but also as a “mini-pharmacy” of home ambulance.
Seed Germination Instructions
Lotus seeds are very hard. Therefore, before germination, it is necessary to carry out the procedure of scarification. In other words, this means breaking the waterproof shell of the seeds, otherwise the lotus seeds will simply rot. One side of the seed is pointed and the other side is blunt. On the blunt side, you need to open the outer shell (cut with a knife, file, tongs or sandpaper).
Place the seeds in water (it is recommended to change the water 1-2 times a day. If the water is not changed, it will be cloudy white and the seed kernel will rot). After about 5-14 days (depending on the time of year - in the summer with an abundance of light they grow faster), the first sprouts will appear from the seed, then the roots. A characteristic sign that the seeds have swollen and germinate will be their lowering to the bottom of the container - some will fall immediately, some after 2-3 days. It happens that the seed fell, then rose, then fell again. Watch the freshness of the water - germination with proper germination is 100%.
A plant with a developed root system should be planted in a pond (planted in a container / pot with soil (earth + sand) and immersed in a pond to the desired depth). If the water in your reservoir freezes completely in winter, place the container with the plant in a basin / bucket and in a cool dark place where the water will not freeze - for example, in the cellar.After the lotus blooms, seeds begin to ripen in its box, which do not look like flowers at all. Peeled lotus seeds look more like pine nuts. They even taste similar to them, which made it possible to use the fruits as an independent product.
The seeds of this plant have such vitality that they are able to germinate even after hundreds of years. What is confirmed by the nuts found by archaeologists during excavations - despite the long “conservation” (more than a thousand years), they gave excellent shoots.
The fruits were able to survive due to their properties, which were actively used in the practice of ancient Greek healers. Warriors also took lotus nuts with them on a campaign, using them both as a healing agent and as a source of nutritional energy (apparently, in this way the plant spread throughout the world).

The amount of carbohydrates, proteins and fats in lotus nuts is quite balanced. The product not only saturates the body with proteins, but also launches the mechanism for the production of "building material" of cells in it. The components of the seeds help to break down harmful fats, thereby inhibiting the production of cholesterol.
Enzymes and flavonoids contained in the lotus fruit have anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties. Due to this, plant seeds are actively used in pharmacology and cosmetology.
