60Pcs Lotus Seeds for Planting in Water Non-GMO Lotus Flower Seeds High Germination Rate Bowl Lotus Seeds Water Lily Seeds for Planting Home, Garden, Indoor, Outdoor

I soaked the first batch of ten seeds in water, which gets changed everyday. They get direct up-to-the-late morning sun in my balcony. They started germinating after two days; one was a dud. Stems shoot out fast; leaves started coming out on the fourth day. Photo with leaves spread on water surface was taken eight days after.It seems to me they grow and develop faster when they sit on the sand they can anchor on for support. However, they flourish whether the roots lay on the sand or remain suspended in water. I will post again if and when they start to bloom. And yes, I use a makeshift little “pond” out of cut-out water gallon jug for starter.

Do not waste your money. I followed all the directions and while all the seeds have sprouted. No matter where I put them or in what I put them...all I get after two months are nothing but leaves/ Lilly pads but not one single flower.

I watched video on starting lotus from seed. This seller pre-clipped the shells the way the video-creator recommended so I never had to. Basically the seller ensured that even unprepared first-time growers would get a great germination-rate. Outstanding service! I would recommend their seeds to anyone!

I purchased lotus seeds for an upcoming event, not realizing they can take up to a year to flower—which, in hindsight, is on me for not doing enough research beforehand. Of the six seeds I started, only four sprouted, even after following guidance from an aquatic gardening blog, including scarifying the hulls.What initially sold me were the beautiful photos—many of the flowers matched my event’s color scheme perfectly. Based on the product description, I expected the process to be relatively simple. However, there’s definitely more involved than what was listed.I’d recommend these lotus seeds to anyone willing to invest the time and effort, but go in with realistic expectations: patience is key, and not all seeds are guaranteed to germinate.When the lotus seeds bloom I will add photos.

I hate that there are no instructions. But there are a lot of good online resources telling you how to do this properly. I've gotten about an 85% germination rate from these seeds, which is a lot more than I could possibly use. I do wish there were some way to tell which color is which, so I'm just hoping i have a variety.You really do need to change the water EVERY day for the first week or so, while the plants are starting to sprout, or it will become a swamp.This is the first plant I can't kill by overwatering, so I'm really happy about them.

All seeds except for 6 sprouted. They're growing really fast but no flowers yet. I'm planning to move them outside and I want to see how they handle the heat once they've grown some more. I'll update my review once they begin to bloom. I would buy these again.

Planted per instructions in vessel, sent green leaves but no buds to bloom, even the leaves are dying

Following instructions and I’ve had them about three weeks or more and not doing anything. Very disappointed.
