Materials Needed: Lotus seeds Shallow container or bowl Distilled or rainwater Fine gravel or small stones (optional, for aesthetics) Bamboo skewer or chopstick Preparing the Container: Choose a shallow container or bowl with a diameter of at least 8-12 inches. Fill the container with distilled or rainwater. Ensure the water level is sufficient to cover the seeds completely. Planting the Seeds: Place the lotus seeds gently on the surface of the water. They should not be submerged completely but should float on the water. Caring for the Seeds: Keep the container in a location that receives full sunlight for at least 6-8 hours a day. Change the water every 2-3 days to prevent stagnation and algae growth. Use distilled or rainwater to maintain purity. Monitoring Growth: After about 4-6 weeks, the seeds will start to sprout and develop roots. Once the sprouts have several leaves and roots are established (after about 2-3 months), you can transplant the young plants into a larger container or pond with a soilless medium like aquatic plant soil or gravel. Transplanting (Optional): If you choose to transplant, carefully remove the young lotus plants from the container and place them into the new container or pond with the soilless medium. Ensure the roots are spread out and covered with the medium. Gently press down around the plant to secure it. Maintenance: Continue to provide full sunlight and change the water regularly if growing in a container. In ponds, ensure the lotus plants are at a depth where their leaves float on the water surface. Pruning and Shaping (Bonsai Techniques): As the lotus plant grows, you can practice bonsai techniques like pruning to shape the leaves and stems. Use a sharp, clean tool to carefully trim excess growth to maintain the desired bonsai shape. Winter Care (if applicable): In colder climates, bring the lotus indoors before the first frost. Place it in a sunny spot or under grow lights until spring.
