Key Features of White Lotus

How to Grow White Lotus from Seeds

1. Seed Preparation

• Scarify the seeds by gently rubbing the hard outer shell with sandpaper or a file until the inner white core is slightly visible.

• Soak the scarified seeds in room temperature water for germination.

• Seeds will swell and sprout within 3–10 days.

• Change the water daily to prevent rotting.

2. Transplanting to Soil

• When the seedlings develop 2 leaves, transfer them to a wide container (10–12 inches deep or more).

• Fill the container with a mixture of clay soil and compost, avoiding peat or cocopeat.

• Submerge the soil under 5–8 inches of water, increasing the depth as the plant grows.

• Suitable containers include tubs, earthen pots, cement tanks, or balcony ponds.

3. Care Tips

• Sunlight: 6–8 hours of full sun daily is essential for healthy growth and flowering.

• Water Depth: Maintain 4–8 inches of water above the soil, increasing as the plant matures.

• Temperature: Ideal growth occurs at 25–35°C.

• Fertilization: Apply slow-release fertilizer balls every 3–4 weeks once the plant is established.

• Maintenance: Remove yellowing leaves regularly and keep the water clean to prevent algae or stagnation.
