35+ Bonsai Lotus Flower Seeds for Home Planting Ornamental, Mixed Pink & Red Flower, Aquatic Plant for Courtyard, Hotel, Goldfish Pond, Water Lily Seeds

Just started grow them and is hard to grow but it will be worth it

Very happy to received these seeds with 95 % germinated rate.

The media could not be loaded.  Day 5 of my lotus seeds growth. I'm changing the water everyday and using tepid temp water. I also added a grow light aling with bright natural light in the morning. They're coming along. Hoping for full growth with blooming flowers. No instructions came with the seeds bit there are tons of YouTube videos with tons of advice. Gave 4 stars because some of the seeds floated to the top and I learned won't sprout. Not sure how true this is but I pulled them out of the water.

I experienced and reluctance ordering these based on some of the reviews, but then it occurred to me that I've been growing plants and maintaining ponds for over 50 years; of the seeds are viable, I should at least get a dozen or more plants.. 36 water lilies is a LOT of lilies without a large pond!!! Lol.Germinating: the key is WARM water. So far, I've sprouted nearly a dozen seeds, with 100% success rate, and the slowest one so far took 4 days (all the others sprouted within 36 hours.Whether it be typical or winter hardy varieties, they have a serious lust for warm water to germinate. I set a jar of either distilled or aquarium water in a jar (or bowl) and set it outside, changing the water daily with the same type of water each day.Did I mention that 100% of the seeds I've soaked?If you keep your home below 76F during the day and germinate then indoors, it could take weeks.Sunlight: give them lots of sun, especially when sprouting. Again, I've been germinating mine outdoors with daytime highs in the 80's and 90's, and nighttime temps no lower than the mid to high 60's. Being outdoors and in full sun has likely played in these quick germination rates.Keep it clean!: when germinating, change the water daily, and use the same water source each day. I've tried both distilled water as well as water from from aquarium water changes and it didn't seem to make any difference; so but 1 has sprouted within 72 hours, and the here a week and a half later, I can't tell which one was that outlier.Planting: if one or more leaves has reached the surface while still in a plain bowl or jar, place to plants in either an aquatic plant pot or medium mesh aquatic plant netting with some rocks in the bottom to keep the root ball and plant from floating. Use a loamy aquatic plant soil and sand in the pot or net for the plant(s) to grow in.The Intereebz: use it! There's a veritable plethora of great advice to be found on this subject.My only "complaint" is that I have more seeds than I have space to grow them out! Since these seeds have already been "nicked" (it appears they gently used sandpaper or a fine rasp/file to remove a tiny bit of a hole in either the each seed ("scarifying" is what plant geeks and horticulturists call that), so I have my reservations regarding how long these seeds will last in the Ziploc baggie they arrived in. I'm headed out this afternoon to buy some decorative pots and giving a bunch of these away.A solid 5 star purchase in my opinion!

First of all, no planting instructions. Put them in water; changed water every day. All that grew were lily pad looking leaves. No flowers., and a litany of black veined lines coming from the seeds! The seeds themselves were slimy at best! What a joke! Threw them away! Should have taken a picture of the mess yesterday before throwing them in the trash!I would give this company a "0" rating but 1 was the lowest. Disgusted actually!

It took a few weeks for them to sprout someone had said to add a little dirt to the water which I did- so now I have like a little green lily pad but no flower not sure what the deal is with that if I’m to get a flower.

Change the water every day. If any of the seeds begin to look fuzzy, remove from the water and discard

This is after 1 week. As everyone else, changed with tempered water every day. I put the pan on my sink window, so it had sunlight all day, but it did not have direct sun. Out of 31 seeds, only 3 have not sprouted. As I read all and researched these seeds are for PLANTING, as the packaging said.I am excited to get them into a pot. Not sure if I can add a pic of that, but will try.
