15pcs Germinated Lotus Seeds, Ready to Plant – Mixed Color Bonsai Bowl Lotus for Indoor & Outdoor Aquatic Gardens, Includes Planting Guide, Easy Growth (Germinated Lotus Seeds (Ready to Plant))

The media could not be loaded.These are absolutely gorgeous little plants. Thank you so much to the seller for sourcing such amazing little plant. I was afraid that these might be full sized lotuses because the seeds are the size of a full sized lotus. However, they have kept true to being bonsai.All of the lotuses germinated within a few days except one. It looks to be dormant still because the first true leaf is still green. Nevertheless, what a great germination rate!I received the seeds 15 days ago and got them started according to the instructions provided, changing the water with warm water every day for the first week.Once they got to about 6 inches long, I potted them in fluval soil and have kept them on a window seal that receives about 6 hours of direct sunlight. They have been thriving and even have two coin leaves and aerial leaf shoots starting to make their way up. The water temperature ranges between 70F in the evening to 86 F at the height of the day. They seem to be okay with about 5 inches of water above the soil line once they are long enough to allow their coin leaves to float. Having the higher water level also buffers the heat so that they don’t cook in the water. I would recommend starting them in a smaller dish where they can get some length and then transplant. They are very hardy…even the slower growing ones of the bunch have been moved about 3 times (gently) and they are still thriving.Definitely worth the value! Best of luck on growing them if you choose to do so.
