How to Score and Grow Water Lotus Seeds

[@thehumminghomestead1396]

We are sprouting two seeds that are 24 years old. We are so happy they are alive and growing! So amazing that they are so old and are still able to grow!

[@pondplantgirl]

Sorry, I’ve been gone for a long time. But I’m back now. That is amazing! Thanks for watching!

[@timbob987]

You had several good tips that no other video covers, like floaters, seed size, percentage. Thanks!

[@pondplantgirl]

You are very welcome! I have lots of seeds if you would lie some.

You taught me this years ago. I have had great success, but it is tough to keep them growning here in the PNW.

[@pondplantgirl]

[@veritysmart]

Your video is spot on. I did as instructed here and very quickly had three lotus plants growing. Now in my pond there are 12 leaves already. Superb video, thank you.

[@sridevijoshi7592]

Really even I want to try it, i love lotous flowers ,

[@richardmacleansr8341]

I tried grinding the seed with my Dremel with a diamond grinding wheel, it worked GREAT...I was able to start out slow until it took off a little bit of the seed end and then was able to up the speed. Thanks for doing this video it gave me the info I needed to make my indoor water feature.....

[@blablabladoer]

I learned something from you!! Thx. In fact I had no idea at all how to grow Lotus. I just found my lost Lotus seed received from someone a few years ago. What I knew was I had to simply put the seed in a cup of water and waited till it grows itself...LOL!!! Poor seed, I nearly killed it!! ahahahha....thanks again.

[@pondplantgirl]

🤠 Hello. Thanks! I’ve been gone for a very long time, but I’m back now with much better material. ❤️

[@lissajameson2469]

I just rubbed mine on the sidewalk and it worked fine. Only took a few minutes per seed. All sprouted. They were from dried lotus seeds I bought at Hobby Lobby 4 or 5 years ago. I put the jar of water on a heat mat and on the third day added a full spectrum lamp. All had 2-4 inch green growth within a week. Gail is right, none of the funky little odd shaped ones sprouted.

have you ever tried cracking the seed open with a hammer? My buddy had tried that with other seeds and seems to work for him! btw, your video is great!!! Have a beautiful day!

[@cmdrcrimbo]

In the wild or un scored they take aprox 4 months to germinate, That makes alot of sense so the seeds get dropped in late autumn so they sprout in the spring time. Also u can do this with some nice coarse sand paper it only takes about 1 min per seed, If u don't want to buy a bench grinder.

[@pondplantgirl]

[@swordwhale1]

...or just a piece of sandpaper... no grinders needed. American lotus is the native species, fabulous big flowers (largest of N American wildflowers) and leaves. We have lots on the Sassafras River off the Chesapeake Bay, as well as a few straggling around in the backwaters of the Susquehanna. (parks do not allow removal of native species).

[@whoknowes1]

Try hack saw or a band saw. Mine have always sprouted.

Hopefully you're still in the business but I just wanted to ask you if it matters which tip of the seed I need to grind in order for it to germinate??

[@pondplantgirl]

Hey there! Sorry for the late response. I have lots of lotus seeds and they germinate 95% of the time. Any lotus seed should work. Thanks for watching The Pond Plant Girl. Have a blessed weekend!

I have had them grow in one season, but depending on climate and care, it can take two seasons on average

[@c_farther5208]

I saw your containers full of lotus but how is it the water is not pure algae/green? I don't get it, you don't have a pump...very curious and you have inspired me to maybe use my old slow cooker, 8.5 quarts and grow on in there.

[@pondplantgirl]

[@lolaby2]

Thank you for the video!

[@m.d.m.6768]

Hi Gail! Two questions. Other videos say to score the "pointed end". No always easy to tell. Any tips? Also, I have some lotus seeds in water that have sprouted but no roots. Do they grow roots in the water or when they hit soil? Thanks!

[@pondplantgirl]

Sorry, I’ve been gone for a long time. But I’m back now. Yes it is not easy to tell. It really doesn’t matter which end. I just prefer it that way. Also, the seeds do not produce roots until after they are planted. Thanks for watching!

[@mitzi1956]

what is growing in the pots with you're water lotus? is it some kind of floating plant that will help support you're lotus? Also I have been trying my hand at growing lotus seeds that i bought off ebay and it is interesting to learn about the floating ones and how they will probably be duds lol. I watched another video i think from some chinese guy and tried his method of using a pair of wire snips and just snipping the pointy end and so far I was able to get almost all of them to germinate. Now my issue is what to do with 30 plus germinated plants lol. I had put 6 of the sprouted seeds in just a 12x6 inch deep pot, and ended up with a twisted mess as they grew! big mistake. So would you suggest growing only 1 lotus per you're barrel?

[@pondplantgirl]

🤠 Hi- I’ve been away for a very long time, but I’m back now living in Texas. How are your plants?

[@mohitshah728]

I tried 4 times but after good germination, seeds got ruined with very bad smell, what to do?

[@pondplantgirl]

Sorry, I’ve been gone for a long time. But I’m back now. Thanks for watching! My guess is that if the water got smelly, then you would need to change the water more often. Try using bottled spring water.

[@mariscion2124]

Which side do we file?

[@cmdrcrimbo]

One end is a bit pointy and the other has a tiny dimple like a belly button, U sand the dimple side.

[@mixiekins]

Yup, dimple. I also find it's much faster and easier to use those jumbo toenail clippers (not fingernail, as they're too small to get enough purchase on the surface). You can wedge the corner of one side of the clippers in the dimple and bite to make a score int he shell. Once you've done that, work your way around so that there's a *-like star shape of lines radiating out from the dimple. You can usually get away with 6 to 8 lines around, the exact amount isn't as important as it is to have them close enough that you can then grip the space between two lines perpendicular to the direction of said lines, so that the point of one jaw is in one line while the opposite jaw is in an adjacent line. You can then bite down with the clippers to score across, and continue until you've cut a ring around the top of the nut. At this point the top should pop itself off freely.

[@pondplantgirl]

🤠 Hi- I’ve been away for a very long time, but I’m back now living in Texas. How are your plants?

[@Mackenzie_neu]

I bought a bunch of water lotus seeds cheap online and they haven't come but I am wondering just how many you can plant together? These are my testing seeds since I haven't ever grown any but I want to know as much as possible. Thanks!

[@pondplantgirl]

🤠 Hi Mackenzie- I’ve been away for a very long time, but I’m back now. How are your plants?

[@secretchannel2]

Need to tell people which side to grind . Don’t touch the pointed side. Also no need to use an electric grinder. Just use a sand paper or a rough ground can do the job. The grinder is dangerous to use and the heat generated can damage the seed.

[@pondplantgirl]

Howdy Rose - I'm back doing more vids. On average with the right fertilizing, you can get flowers within 2 years. Do not fertilize, however, until the second season. I have gotten flowers during the first season of growth, but that is not common.

Can u cut the seed instead of filing?

[@newsviewstoday5689]

Yes there is a better end of the seed to sand for success I believe it is the end that they say looks like a belly button. I must check this so I am just starting out wtih lotus as well but i understand one end proves much more successful then the other. So be sure to check it out, I am now. : )

[@whoknowes1]

Honestly, it DOESN'T matter. as long as you cut through the outer seed coat. Once the inside is exposed to water, the seed will do the rest. It doesn't need to be so complicated as to score one end or the other. Just cut through the seed coat.

Do you know why I place them in a water glass, and they stink more then turning brown. I got my bunch of seeds from online (shipped from China) They look thin and not developed, I dump them into a cup of water full of doubts. To my surprise a few of them starting sprouting and I was so excited! I change the water diligently very day, swapping the brown water for clear water. Soon the sprouts started growing longer, unfortunately at this time, the water begin to stink and no longer turns brown. The water looks white-ish color and the the stalks started to turn really soft if I dont change the water everyday. ( I left them alone for 2 days and I almost fainted from the smell, some stalk turn soft and died) I am afraid to put them into the water tank as I am so worried they will infect the tank water and turn them all smelly as I have other water plants and some fishes in them. Please help! ( I only have one surviving seed left, and by the way, I didnt leave them out in direct sunlight. I placed them at the balcony where its quite warm, but without direct sunlight.) I am from singapore. Hope to hear from you soon =)

Question... how deep??? I have some native seed pulled from a Lotus head on the Alabama River near Selma Al. I have tried to grow them several times and they always sprout, send up the stem and sometimes a leaf or two. thats when they die... I have used sand/pea gravel before. I plan on using DIRT this time but noticed your leaves were floating on top of the container at rim level. Do you pant the sprouted seed in dirt on the bottom and just fill up the pot? the plants grow to that level and open the leaf? Thanks!

[@pondplantgirl]

Hello! Sorry that I have been gone for a very long time. But I'm back in action now! I grow the plants indoors until they are 4-6 inches long. I push the seed down into the soil or pea gravel just below the surface level. It will produce floating leaves. Morning sun only until you get an aerial leaf. Young plants will die if the water gets too hot. Thanks for watching!

I may be a complete idiot but you say to plant the seed in soil and then when you show it it's in water. So??? I just got 5 seeds from a friend along with other seeds so I had to look up what to do with them and thought this fat seed looked like it could be fun. But I have no experience with them so after I plant them in soil how do I get to the point where they are in water like yours? I don't even have pond so thought maybe I'd grow it and put it in a pond somewhere and let others enjoy it:)

if we had that machine .. what was the need of this video.... we wanted some simple method ...

[@whoknowes1]

You don't need the grinder (machine) do you have a rock? a hack saw? a concrete surface ? even a Nail File will do the job. you are trying to remove the outer seed coat just enough to expose the inner seed to water. It doesn't need to be a huge gaping hole in the side, just enough to get the seed wet, Once you have water to the inside the seed will do the rest. try rubbing the seed on the side walk, or a brick. It will take a while but you can do it with out a grinder. If you have a hack saw that will work too.
