Premium Black Lotus Flower Seeds – Exotic Dark Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera)

Scarify seeds — gently file or nick one end of each seed until the shell thins, to allow water absorption.
Soak seeds in warm water, changing water daily until they sprout (roots appear).
Once roots develop, transfer seedlings into clay-rich soil submerged under shallow water in a container / tub / pond.
Fill water so soil remains submerged (water depth 6–18 inches above soil as per product specs).
Provide full sun — place container/pond in a location receiving full sunlight for best growth and bloom.

Scarify seeds gently but sufficiently — this key step improves germination success dramatically.
Use wide, shallow containers or ponds — lotus roots require room to spread; avoid small, deep pots.
Maintain water cleanliness — change or filter water if in containers to prevent stagnation or algae buildup.
For better blooms — ensure full sun + warm water; in cooler climates or winters, provide protection or bring containers indoors.
