[@priyachariar4508]

Thank you so much for this video. Would we bring them indoors in the winter in a place like iowa.....Anybody with some experience on this? Also, please post a follow-up video about your experience.

[@marcelinanoss8825]

do not add any fertilizer to your water or it will kill your leaves, You can add some after the leaves are growing above the water line

[@TCPUDPATM]

Weeks in the making! The seeds look like chocolate covered almonds 😳

[@dianasluijk-bogdan9701]

Such a good video! Wondering if you changed the water in the first 20 days? Does it rain on it? Thanks

[@desireejohnson7859]

My Sister is doing seeds on the sill. I sent her your link!

[@dejab1163]

Beautifullll! When you have your lotus in the barrel, do you need to change the water?how often?

[@pripri080]

wondering the same, mine just started growing its vines so I need to transfer the seeds just like he did. Growing them in my office

[@rallekralle11]

how are they doing? were they actually a smaller "bonsai" variety? seeds looked like they'd be from larger varieties

[@Darkatlas_23]

What machine are you using

[@RonniBedell]

What about mosquitoes?? Do you put anything in the water to prevent them ? And are they in a sunny location?

[@sallomonaco]

I purchased lotus seeds on line but there were only 10and they came without being scarified like yours. Let me stress to anyone who is thinking of starting lotus seeds, that the scarification is a ton of work unless you use a sander. Can you provide a link as to where you bought yours?

[@loryparedes]

I enjoyed this video very much. What’s the coldest temperature bonsai lotus will tolerate?

[@Self-taught_Therapy]

Thanks for the comment . Lotus can resist temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) if they are covered with an insulating cover of water or soil. Lotus will die in winter and come back in summer. I hope this answers your question.

[@dilfuzababajonova111]

​@@Self-taught_Therapy Good morning, I really enjoy your video. How do we change water in this situation, or isn't that necessary to change? Thank you for your answer in advance.

[@Self-taught_Therapy]

@@dilfuzababajonova111 It's recommended to change the water every 3-4 days to prevent stagnation.

[@marcelinanoss8825]

are you adding any ageacide to prevent your water from turning green ??

[@Self-taught_Therapy]

haven't use algaecide

[@jenniferfimbres4923]

Are you worried about mosquitoes laying eggs at all? I feel like this set up without running water could be a mosquito attractant.

[@martinweber3637]

I have some fish in my buckets. If you live in a warm climate guppys should do the trick, otherwise try medakas - japanese rice fish.

[@Nuzen]

Might be too many seeds in one container. The tubers get very large.

[@bryanbischoff1008]

How long did they take to flower?

[@Self-taught_Therapy]

Base on my research 2 years before it bloom.

[@chrissyscakestx]

Where did u get the clay?

[@luv14lyf]

Sure wish this guy would answer some of these questions.

[@luv14lyf]

How do you keep mosquitos from leaving their larvae or the water from stagnating?

[@stitISH]

how long to flower? thanks

[@Self-taught_Therapy]

This is a timelapse of sorts. About 12 days to see noticeable progress!

[@ceciliaboys612]

Where did you get the clay?

[@Self-taught_Therapy]

Most items used were purchased with Amazon
