How to grow Pink Sacred Lotus seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start in warm water indoors where you can keep temperatures steady.
• Outdoors: Plant out only when nights stay reliably warm.

Prepare Your Materials

• Small file or sandpaper for scarifying the hard seed coat
• Glass of warm water for soaking
• Heavy aquatic soil or clay-based garden soil (no lightweight potting mix)
• Wide container without drainage holes

Sowing the Seeds

• Nick or file the hard seed coat until the cream-colored interior shows, then soak in warm water at 75-85°F (24-29°C), changing the water daily.
• Once sprouted, plant in heavy aquatic soil with the seed just under the surface, under 2-4 inches of water.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Full sun (at least 6 hours daily)
• Temperature: 75-85°F (24-29°C) water temperature for sprouting

Germination

• Sprouts often emerge 1-7 days after scarifying and soaking.
• Keep the water warm and change it daily until the seed is planted.

Transplanting

• Move to the final container once roots develop; keep the growing tip above the soil surface, submerged under shallow water.
• Give each plant a wide container of its own.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun
• Water: Keep the water level steady; top up as it evaporates
• Fertilizer: Feed with aquatic fertilizer tablets during the growing season
• Seed-grown plants can vary, and may take a season or more to flower
