Hey guys! I was hoping someone could help me out with this. So I have been growing seedlings from lotus seeds in water. This guy has been submerged but I’m not sure if I should keep it submerged or leave the top part out of water. Any advice??

Wrap in moist paper towel and store at worms place like under oven for 2 days and pot
