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

Lotus plants are typically found in freshwater habitats, such as ponds, lakes, and slow-moving rivers, thriving in regions with warm climates and native to parts of Asia, including India and China. The plant is notable for its 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. The seeds are packed in tear and moisture-resistant packaging, stored in a controlled, dry facility, and always packed for the current and upcoming seasons. These non-GMO, untreated seeds are true to the variety advertised.

The germination instructions for lotus seeds are as follows: Soak the seeds in clean, dechlorinated water for 24 to 48 hours, changing the water daily to prevent stagnation. Prepare toothpicks or bamboo skewers by breaking them in half to support the seeds during germination. After soaking, gently insert a toothpick or bamboo skewer horizontally through the center of the swollen, soft seed, making sure it remains secure but not pierced through. Place the supported seed in a separate container filled with clean, dechlorinated water, and place the container in a warm, sunny location with indirect sunlight. Maintain a consistent temperature between 70-90°F, and observe the seeds as they start to swell and produce shoots over several days to weeks. 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.

The lotus seeds are exclusively fresh, with non-compliant or aged seeds being locally donated to minimize waste. These are safe, non-GMO, heirloom, and untreated seeds, allowing you to save seeds from your harvest and cultivate them year after year, preserving the tradition. Lotus seeds can be grown as Amazon residential plants and in outdoor spaces, making them ideal for beginners, masters, and children alike. They are easy to plant and maintain, both attractive and beneficial for your pond. The lotus seeds are made in the USA and make excellent gifts for moms, adults, and gardening enthusiasts, spreading happiness from germination to flowering and fruiting.
