How to Sow and Plant


Soak seeds in warm water and gently scarify the hard seed coat to aid germination. Once sprouted, plant seedlings in heavy clay soil submerged under shallow water. Gradually increase water depth as the plant establishes.

How to Grow

Grow lotus in full sunlight for healthy growth and flowering. Maintain water depth between 6–18 inches. Use nutrient-rich soil and avoid disturbing roots. Remove dead leaves regularly and protect plants from cold temperatures.

Tips

Use wide containers for root expansion. Avoid flowing water. Keep water warm for faster growth. Do not overcrowd plants in small ponds.
