The Blue Lotus: The Official Classic Children’s Illustrated Mystery Adventure Series (The Adventures of Tintin)

Product Information

Young lotus stems are used as a salad ingredient in Vietnamese cuisine and as a vegetable ingredient for some soup and curry in Thailand, such as keang som sai bua ( Thai: แกงส้มสายบัว, lotus stem sour soup) and keang kati sai bua ( แกงกะทิสายบัว, lotus stem in coconut milk curry) The traditional sacred lotus is only distantly related to Nymphaea caerulea, but possesses similar chemistry. Both Nymphaea caerulea and Nelumbo nucifera contain the alkaloids nuciferine and aporphine. [ citation needed] Su, X.; Jiang, Y.; Li, Y.; Lin, W. (2003). "Effects of 4-hexylresorcinol (4-HR) on browning and quality of fresh-cut lotus". Food Science. 24: 142–145. Blue lotus plants thrive in warm temperatures, so it is important to provide them with a suitable environment. The ideal temperature range for blue lotus is between 75-90 degrees Fahrenheit (24-32 degrees Celsius). It is important to note that blue lotus is not frost-tolerant and can be damaged or killed by low temperatures. Therefore, it is best to grow blue lotus in regions with a warm climate or as indoor plants in cooler areas.

Lotus seeds also contain particularly large amounts of vitamins, including VB1, VB2, VB6 and Vitamin E. [92] [93] The blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea), also known as the sacred blue lily or blue water lily, is a water plant that has been revered for centuries for its beauty and therapeutic effects. If you are interested in planting blue lotus in your garden or pond, you may be wondering what the best time of year is to do so. In this article, we will explore the ideal planting time for blue lotus based on scientific knowledge, real experience, and step-by-step guidelines. a b Sou, S. Y.; Fujishige, N. (1995). "Cultivation comparison of lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) between China and Japan". Journal of Zhejiang Agricultural Sciences. 4: 187–189. Create the right environment: Blue lotus prefers to grow in still or slow-moving water. If you are planting it in a pond, make sure the water depth is suitable for the plant's growth. You may also consider using a container or planting basket with aquatic soil to provide the optimal growing conditions.

Distribution

Blue lotus flower extract is perhaps the most efficient consumption method, containing the active compounds of the blue lotus in a highly concentrated form. These extracts are available in different strengths, such as 10x or 20x, and are available either in powder form, as tinctures, or as a pressed-down hashish-like resin. They all offer a convenient way to consume blue lotus, as they can all easily be added to foods and beverages, so it's up to your personal preference.

Know that blue lotus wants a soil that contains sand, silt, and some clay. Make note that most “universal potting soils” for flowers likely won’t work. Avoid mixes that contain moss, wood, bark or other organic compounds, and don’t use any fertiliser. Now fill the container with warm water until it's about two fingers widths above the soil. Wait a few minutes for the soil to settle and then press on it to make it more compact. When preparing a brew, the dried petals, powder, resin, or tincture can simply be added to hot water and drunk as tea once the liquid cools. However, as the alkaloids in the raw plant matter are not water-soluble, making a blue lotus tea from dried petals may not turn out very effective. Flower lotus cultivars are used exclusively for ornamental purpose, producing many flowers and the lowest plant height. [40] Sow your blue lotus seeds evenly on top of the underwater soil bed, about 2–3cm apart from each other. After you placed the seeds, cover them with a thin layer of soil or sand.
