Planting & Care Instructions

Seed Preparation & Sowing

Germination Process:

1. Scarify the Seeds: Gently file or sand down one side of the seed until the inner white layer is visible.
2. Soak in Warm Water: Place seeds in a bowl of warm water and change the water daily. Germination usually begins within 5-7 days.

Planting in Water Containers or Ponds:

• Once seedlings have sprouted with small roots, transfer them to a container with 2-4 inches of heavy clay soil.
• Cover the roots gently with soil, leaving the growing tip exposed.
• Slowly submerge the container in a shallow pond or water garden (6-12 inches of water).
• Place in full sun for optimal growth.

Maintenance

• Watering: Keep submerged in fresh, still water.
• Fertilization: Apply aquatic plant fertilizer every 3-4 weeks during the growing season.
• Winter Care: In colder climates (Zones 3-6), bring container-grown lotus indoors or allow tubers to go dormant in deeper water.
