Bonsai Bowl Lotus Seeds (Mixed Color) - Water Lily Flower Plant - Aquatic Water Features

Lotus plants are typically found in freshwater habitats, such as ponds, lakes, and slow-moving rivers, and they thrive in regions with warm climates, being native to parts of Asia, including India and China.

These plants are notable for their large, round leaves that float on the water's surface, measuring up to 18 inches in diameter and often held above the water. The flowers of the lotus plant are also large and fragrant, held above the water on long stalks.

Lotus plants can be cultivated in garden ponds and water features, requiring full sun and thriving in still or slow-moving water. Gardeners often use specialized pots or containers to grow lotus plants in their water gardens.

Our lotus seeds are packed in tear and moisture-resistant packaging, stored in a controlled, dry facility, and always packed for current and upcoming seasons. They are non-GMO and untreated, true to the variety advertised, and come with growing instructions included.

To germinate the seeds, you should first soak them in clean, dechlorinated water for 24 to 48 hours, changing the water daily to prevent stagnation. While the seeds are soaking, prepare toothpicks or bamboo skewers by breaking them in half, as these will be used to support the seeds during germination.

After soaking, the swollen and softened seeds should be gently impaled horizontally through the center with a toothpick or bamboo skewer, ensuring they remain secure but not pierced through. The supported seeds should then be placed in a separate container filled with clean, dechlorinated water and positioned in a warm, sunny location with indirect sunlight, as lotus seeds require warmth to germinate, with a consistent temperature between 70-90°F.

Over the course of several days to weeks, you should observe the lotus seeds starting to swell and produce shoots. Remember to change the water regularly to keep it clean and maintain proper humidity.

Once the seedlings have developed strong roots and a few leaves, they can be carefully transplanted into larger containers or directly into your pond or water garden. Seedlings require care similar to mature lotus plants, including proper water depth, sunlight, and nutrients.

Our lotus seeds are exclusively fresh, with any non-compliant or aged seeds being locally donated to minimize waste. They are also non-GMO, heirloom, and untreated, allowing you to save seeds from your harvest and cultivate them year after year, saving the tradition.

Lotus plants make excellent additions to Amazon residential spaces and outdoor areas, decorating family courtyards, gardens, goldfish ponds, hotels, and more. They are ideal for beginners, masters, and children alike, providing an exciting growing experience from germination to flowering and fruiting. These exotic aquatic plants with their stunning flowers and lily pads are also attractive and beneficial for your pond, serving as a good habitat for fish.
