Sacred Pink Lotus Seeds
Sacred Pink Lotus Seeds are the beginnings of one of the most revered aquatic plants. Each seed has been carefully harvested from mature lotus pods and is ready to germinate, bringing serene beauty to ponds and water gardens.
Light Requirements
Lotus seeds sprout best in full sun. Choose a spot that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily for vigorous growth.
Watering
Before planting, scarify the seeds lightly and soak them in warm water until they swell and sprout. Once sprouted, transfer them to a container with 3 4 inches of warm water above the soil line. Keep the water clean and topped up.
Soil
Use a heavy clay or loam soil intended for aquatic plants. Avoid potting soil, which can float away. Press the sprouted seeds gently into the soil, covering just enough to anchor them.
Humidity and Temperature
A warm, humid environment encourages quick germination. Keep the water temperature around 75 85°F for best results.
Growth Habits
As the plant grows, its leaves will rise above the water and eventually produce spectacular pink blooms. Provide plenty of sunlight and space for the plant to spread.
Pet Safety
Lotus plants are generally nontoxic, but seeds and tubers should not be ingested.
My Personal Tip
Change the water daily during germination to prevent stagnation and fungus, and move theEden on Earth Full Blog Post Collection
Sacred Pink Lotus Plant
The Sacred Pink Lotus Plant is a mature aquatic perennial with large, rounded leaves and elegant pink flowers that rise above the water. I provide healthy tubers ready to establish in your pond or container water garden.
Light Requirements
It thrives in full sun. Position your lotus where it will receive at least six hours of direct sunlight each day to produce abundant blooms.
Watering
Place the tuber in a wide container with heavy aquatic soil, then submerge so that 2 4 inches of water cover the soil. Maintain water levels and ensure the container does not dry out.
Soil
A dense, clay-based soil is best for anchoring lotus tubers. Avoid potting mixes that float or cloud the water.
Humidity and Temperature
Lotus enjoys warm, humid conditions. Ensure the water temperature stays above 70°F during the growing season.
Growth Habits
With the right conditions, the plant will send up large leaves followed by flower stalks. Provide space for it to spread and fertilize monthly during the growing season.
Pet Safety
The lotus plant is considered nontoxic, but the tubers should not be consumed unless prepared properly.
My Personal Tip
When placing tubers, orient the growing tips upward and avoid burying them too deeply.
