A way to speed up the process of seed germination is to carefully file off the brown coats while preserving the cream colored coats without injuring them. Tightly grip the seed with pliers without cracking the seed, using fine grit sandpaper, gently file away the brown coats to reveal the cream colored coat. Do not injure the cream colored coat as you may break into the cotyledon of the seed, opening the seed to possible fungal infection.
our seedling should be placed in a bright, sunny location (8 hours sunlight daily). In a couple of weeks you should have coin leaves growing on the surface of the water, after the coin leaves change into aerial leaves, you may fertilize your lotus with a half dose of fertilizer.
At this point the seeds may swell, although it may take days or weeks for the seeds to sprout. Once the seed sprouts, the stem of the plant will grow towards the surface of the water, unfurling its leaves. The lotus needs no additional nutrition at this point but may be transferred into a wide, shallow container with heavy loam soil outdoors.
This container will be used throughout the growing process as the roots cannot be disturbed. Gently place the lotus seedling in the soil and add an inch or two of water above the soil as your lotus grows, taking care to replenish any evaporated water.
