How to Sow and Plant

Scarify seeds: Gently sand or nick the hard seed coat before sowing to aid germination.
Soak seeds: Soak scarified seeds in warm water (approx. 24–48 hours) until they swell and sprout. Change water daily to ensure oxygenation.
Initial germination: Allow seeds to sprout in shallow water or warm container until small leaves / roots appear.
Transplant: Transfer seedlings carefully into a wide, heavy-soil container (clay or aquatic soil) submerged in water — roots/rhizomes under soil, leaves allowed to float or rise above water. Maintain water depth as recommended (see below).

How to Grow

Light: Full sun — lotus requires direct sunlight (6+ hours/day) for healthy growth and blooming.
Soil: Heavy aquatic soil / clay-based soil — avoid light or sandy soils that may float or cloud water.
Water: Always submerged — water level above soil must be maintained (depth depends on container/pond size; typical water depth 15–45 cm above soil).
Temperature: Warm water conditions — lotus thrives in warm climates or during warm seasons; avoid cold water or frost.
Maintenance: Remove dead leaves/flowers; ensure water remains clean and aerated; occasionally feed aquatic fertilizer if needed.

Tips

Use wide, shallow containers or pond beds rather than deep narrow pots — lotus roots need horizontal space to spread.
Avoid light, sandy soil — use heavy aquatic soil or clay to prevent soil from floating and clouding water.
For quicker germination — scarify the seed coat carefully before soaking.
Maintain full sun exposure to encourage healthy growth and abundant flowering.
Ensure stable water levels — if using a container on a balcony, regularly top up evaporated water to keep lotus healthy.

Aquatic Perennial

The Nelumbo nucifera (Lotus) is one of the most iconic aquatic plants, cherished for its symbolic beauty, tranquil presence and stunning blooms. This Mixed-Colour seed pack allows gardeners to grow a variety of lotus colours — offering aesthetic diversity in a single water garden. Once rhizomes establish in clay/loamy aquatic soil and water is maintained at appropriate depth, the lotus develops large floating leaves and eventually sends up beautiful multicolour flowers. A perfect choice for ponds, koi-ponds, water features, decorative tubs or balcony water-gardens, it brings a combination of elegance, calm and floral splendour to outdoor spaces.
