Sacred
Lotus is one of the most popular aquatic plants. It produces striking large velvety
green leaves and large flowers. Great for ponds and other water features.
Sowing: Starting
Sacred Lotus from seed is relatively easy but can take a long time. The seeds
have hard shells so they must be carefully scarified for water to penetrate.
Then the seeds are soaked in warm, clean water with temperature of around 21°C.
The seeds will remain soaked until the seed germinates. The water must be
changed daily and kept bacteria free. The same temperature must be maintained at
all times. The seed will gradually swell and within a few weeks it should
germinate. Once the seedling appears, it must be kept in clean, warm water in a
well-lit place until it starts developing leaves. Once the seedling is
established, it can be planted in some aquatic compost.
Tip: Tip: Sacred Lotus is a
heat loving plant, so it will thrive in a sunny spot in the garden.

Important note to buyers:
Please bear in mind, as seeds are live products, the successful germination and growth depends on various factors such as moisture, light, growing medium, etc. Therefore, we advise that you carefully follow the instructions supplied with the packet and, if unsure about anything, do extra research before starting the process. All the seeds have been tested and are with long shelf life (stated on packaging), so are expected to germinate and grow if cared for properly. For these reasons, we cannot be held responsible if any of the seeds show no or little productivity.
