Grow Your Own Lotus: From Seed to Bloom
 
Growing a lotus from seed is an incredibly rewarding experience that allows you to witness the entire life cycle of this beautiful aquatic plant. The process starts with a critical first step: **scarification**. This means gently filing or sanding a small spot on the hard, dark seed coat until you expose the pale inner layer. This simple action allows water to penetrate the seed, triggering germination.
Once scarified, place your seeds in a container of lukewarm water, making sure to change the water daily to prevent mold. In as little as a few days, you'll see a tiny sprout emerge. When the seedling develops its first few leaves, it's time to **transplant** it. Place it in a pot filled with heavy garden soil or clay, then submerge the entire pot in a larger water-filled container.
For your lotus to thrive, it needs at least six hours of **direct sunlight** per day. Maintain a water depth of just a few inches above the soil in the pot. With a little patience and the right conditions, your tiny seed will transform into a stunning lotus, gracing your garden with its majestic blooms.

The Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) symbolizes purity, beauty, majesty, grace, fertility, wealth, richness, knowledge and serenity.  The Pink Lotus is the National Flower of India. Nelumbo nucifera is known by a number of common names, including Sacred lotus, Indian lotus and Sacred water-lily.
 
Lotuses are found in white and pink colors in general and they grow in shallow and murky waters.  Lotus flowers enjoy warm sunlight and are intolerant to cold weather. This is why the Lotus is not seen blossoming in the winter.  The floating leaves and Lotus flowers have long stems, which contain air spaces to maintain the buoyancy.  The Lotus is native to Asia and flourishes in a wide range of climates from India to China. The Lotus plant is an aquatic perennial, native to southern Asia and Australia and most commonly cultivated in water gardens.  The plant has its roots firmly in the mud and sends out long stems to which their leaves are attached.  The leaves are sometimes, and Lotus flowers always, raised above the water surface.  The beautiful and fragrant Lotus flower opens in the morning and petals fall in the afternoon.
