Planting and Care Instructions

Seed Germination and Sowing

1. Scarification (Essential for Germination):
   • Use a nail file or sandpaper to gently sand one end of the seed until you reach the white inner layer
   • This helps water penetrate and speeds up germination
2. Soaking the Seeds:
   • Place seeds in a container with warm water (80-90°F)
   • Change the water daily to prevent mold
   • Seeds will sprout within 5-7 days
3. Transplanting:
   • Once the seedlings grow 2-3 inches with small leaves, plant them in a container with clay or loamy soil
   • Submerge the container in shallow water (6-12 inches deep)
   • Avoid strong water currents

Growing and Maintenance

• Sunlight: Requires full sun for optimal flowering
• Water Depth: Gradually increase water depth as the plant matures
• Fertilization: Use aquatic plant fertilizer every 3-4 weeks during the growing season
• Pruning: Remove yellow leaves and spent flowers to encourage new growth
• Winter Care: If grown in colder climates, move potted lotus indoors to prevent freezing

Best Uses

• Decorative Ponds & Water Gardens: Adds beauty and tranquility
