With proper care, your lotus seeds will grow into a healthy aquatic bonsai plant that blooms each year. Our seeds are carefully selected for their high germination rate and quality. Follow the steps below to grow your own lotus flowers at home:
How to Grow Lotus Flower:
Scrape the seed with a file - revealing the cream-colored core. Do not file any of the core away or else your lotus will not grow.
Place your seeds in warm water between 75 and 80°F (24 and 27°C). After a day of soaking, the seeds will sink to the bottom and swell to nearly twice their original size. Seeds that float are almost always infertile.
Fill a 3 to 5 US gal (11 to 19 L) container with 6 in (15 cm) of deep soil. This size typically provides enough room for a young lotus to grow. Make sure the container you choose does not have any drainage holes.
Remove seedlings from water once they are 6 inches (15 cm) long. Wait until the sprouts are at least 4 to 5 days old before transferring them to the potting container.
Press the sprouted seeds into the soil about 4 inches (10 cm) apart. You don't have to bury the seeds in the soil. Set them just on top, then brush a light layer of soil over them to secure them.
Lower the pot into your pond. Lotus are aquatic plants, so the soil should always have at least 2 to 4 inches (5.1 to 10.2 cm) of water above it.
