Usually file them from one side, thus easily to entangle sides.

Other seed are used on a rosary (them also try to plant - for you can couch even rosary from seed nut of lotus, if you lost them in a successful for the germination of lotus place). On a probability theory, an about half leave casual appearance of podpilennykh seed nut of lotus on making rosary - file them from other side, and a half is landed in earth and reservoirs. Seed for a rosary contain embryos of lotus and can in a moist warm environment and in water or to decay, or prorasti. Not room plant.


Couch the destruction seed in warm water at a battery, bath-house, on heat of blaze the sun

Water can be permanent warm, but not especially hotter, not to cook seed. Not lose and not cook a rosary !!!

   A Komarov Lotus (nut-carry lotus) is a surprising plant with large rose flowers and powerful foliage on the surface of water. It is talked, it is they are of the same age dinosaurs. To cultivate make multiply an nut-carry lotus in the nearest lake or to the pond - simpler, than can appear (especially if you meditated with a rosary on lotuses, they by chance were crack up and forgot the crack rosary on moist summer heat of the sun, in the full blaze of the sun). If seed nut of lotus of sprout shoot, they become much larger. If the seed nut of lotus got in a successful environment and chipped, they will go down on a bottom, after the pair of days nuts will become larger and bugristee, will emerge then, after again will go down on a bottom. In 4-7 days pericarp will burst, and a thin green "hook" – germ plantlet will appear on light. He grows very quickly, and soon begins arise the second. So a lotus grows.
