[@Shawnsusan2349]

Very well explained I saw so many videos and always scarified the pointed end and nothing was successful because no others were so well explained. Thanks a lot

[@vairuchira8857]

Some of the floated seeds will sink in a few days and will grows, don't throw them away.

[@unique-369]

Oh I thought

[@thanatos2288]

Exactly.

[@umardsi]

yes same thing happened with me

[@pragya139]

Thanks for telling

[@sciencebehindeverything984]

Yes for me also

[@danybosseler5545]

Thank you! it worked at first trial ! I followed your instructions step by step and now, 3 days later, I start seeing the sprouts. Too delighted.

[@amandastone3270]

This WORKS! After a couple of failures followed this method yesterday and today I have shoots!

[@juchenecromancer5644]

Clear and to the point. Keep up the good work!

[@sujithamathivanan639]

As said, the germination is 100% successful. All my seeds sprouted , that too in 3 days time .. Wonderful .. Thank you 😊🤗

Hi How r Ur lotus plants doing now

[@TheKitten4383]

I cut mine open (the tip) with a drimmel and put them in plain tap water that I change daily. They’re doing great. Nor did I have to peel the shell off it eventually got so thin it got soggy and wore itself off. Also I didn’t reject all of my floating seeds ... 2 of 4 worked and after a week I threw out the ones doing nothing

[@pabitrapratikdas6225]

That's it. 👍👍👍

[@pabitrapratikdas6225]

That's it 👍👍👍

[@mimmi7325]

I think that's the healthy way of sprouting for the seeds eventually the happy plants with healthy stalks..

[@KTBSSW]

Of all the videos I've watched on how to germinate lotus seeds this is truly 100% thank you so much I have a total of 10 seeds and 7 was wasted trying other methods but 3 seeds germinate with your method the vinegar really made a difference!

[@pragya139]

How many drops of vinager you used?

[@KTBSSW]

@@pragya139 i use a 1ml syringe of vinegar to a glass of water with daily change

[@KTBSSW]

Great time lapse video of germinating seeds !

[@heidrich55]

Thank you so much! This is the first and absolutely clear Description I've found!

[@samlicorish5645]

You've explained the process better than anyone else I've seen. I now have the confidence the try the one seed I have. Strangely, most seeds I get are hollow - nothing on the inside, you can crush them between your fingers. Only one seed seems hard. Thanks.

[@hallucinateme1285]

Best of luck!!

[@drownedinnostalgia3433]

I have some seeds that floated but soon dropped down after a few days😮😗😄 give em a chance. Thanks for teaching me though😆

[@drownedinnostalgia3433]

FAKE NAME I added mine with aspirin, so far they are still growing. 2 of my seeds sprouted 2 stems and I have already transferred them to a big container with mud, they haven’t opened their leaves yet though..

[@suchitagreendream]

Correct..after soaking in water for some time they drool down.

[@cruise__passion2047]

True give them a chance. Mine doing fine too.

[@karenconyers8531]

All I did was drop the seeds in water and they sprouted in a few days. I didnt scrape them or anything. As soon as the green sprout came up, I planted them.

[@mollywhitebear9018]

How are they doing now, three months later? Were you successful getting them to bloom at all yet? I just ordered seeds from Etsy and they are arriving today so I am researching a bit to see which method is best!

[@KTBSSW]

Wow you're lucky

[@ridewithlish]

@@mollywhitebear9018 Hey, what's the update of your seeds. Did they bloomed ?

[@IndigenousArtst]

@@ridewithlish NO! They grew like crazy in that water and grew a really long stem and a little leaf! But then I couldn't find any of the lotus mud to plant them in! :( Anyway, I only had germinated three of them. I've still got some and once I finally find some of that lotus mud, I'm going to do it again and then plant them into this bowl I've got that would serve as a perfect table top "pond"! They do love the light, too, so I'm getting a plant light to hang over it as well since they will be inside. Thanks for asking! If the next try works, I'll come back and post!

[@ridewithlish]

@@IndigenousArtst Ok Thankyou. Do you have insta ?

[@swapnabrungi8153]

After so many trial and errors, finally tried this method and it WORKED!!! For me I tested with the coat on and coat off(as per this video), the coat off seedlings are longer with bigger leaves. Coat-on seedlings have shorter and smaller discs leaves. Growth time exactly 14 days. I have two leaves opened on each seedling. Tip: Rinsing with H2O2 3% 1:7 water ratio works, leaving them in H2O2/water solution turned their growth stunted and leaf stalks brown and rough. Tip 2: I added 2-3 Drops(DO NOT ADD MORE) of Aquarium Green solution. Only tiny 2-3 drops to my seeds 6 seeds immersed in 600 ml to 1 litre of water, I increased the water to 1 litre as the seedlings grew. Another point: I kept the temperature for the first the 7 days at 25 to 26 degrees. After two leaves reach a certain length they are better able to tolerate temperature fluctuation but first 7 days make sure the temperature is steady, the water level is steady and make sure to not change conditions too much; the exception being changing the water as it becomes cloudy on daily basis. They do need attention first week but also do not disturb them too much. It's tricky, but once they grow, hard to kill them.

[@badtzmaru2668]

Oh I really need this.. I watch another video about lotus seed but giving the wrong info. ended I loose 1 of my lotus seed..Thank you🙏

[@haileygates890]

Thank you so much!! I just got my purple lotus seeds in the mail today and can’t wait to try this method! I was scared of doing something wrong and I had no idea there was a specific side you needed to scar. Thank you for your informative video!!

[@Gingerfrost]

How did it go? The Purple Lotus seeds?

[@rajabratasarkar8443]

There are no such things as purple or blue lotus plants. There are some deep reds. Make sure that you do not have waterlily seeds, as the "blue lotus" is actually a egyptian tropical water lily. If you do get a purple or blue lotus to grow, please post pictures online.

[@sirifashions7088]

Thankyou for clearing my doubt to where to rub the seeds...

[@pradumyajoy]

It's true we are so confused for that Thanks him allot God bless him

[@maheshgaikwad6845]

I welcome your thoughts

[@ShariLeigh44]

I watched a different video a weeks ago that said to put seeds in water, put by window, and just change water daily...nothing else. I did that and my seeds are almost 9' long and have little pads about to open. I was looking for what to do now...There are so many conflicting ways. I dont know how mine just grew perfectly. Now Im nervous on opinions to take. All these sites have all legit ways. Hope my lil guys keep growing.

[@mollywhitebear9018]

What did you finally do? Did you plant them into pots and sink in a pot for a water feature? Or did you plant into a pond?

[@kamalhasan9066]

I have tried this method. It sucks. After growing some stems the seed starts to float with the stems. It is very difficult to manage that way. I would suggest everyone to not to peel off the outer skin of the seed.

[@2011bhopal]

Floating is normal...wait till..root seen...then plot this rooted seed in mud(smallpot)and place in big pot then slowly fill water

[@book_alchemist276]

I watched this video where you supposed to peel the outer skin off, and I regret it.

[@KTBSSW]

Mine was fine it still sinks after peeling. Maybe it a hit or miss?

[@shatakshikumari637]

Put it in a tub with some soil and slightly cover it so it doesn't float it will grow roots in some time

[@theworld2754]

Such a beautiful intro and wonderful video making. just like asmr

[@pitupopcorn3914]

I had three seed but due to lack of knowledge to recognise the right point to rub 2 destroyed and 1 germinated the tiny green stake but later it destroyed 😭 why this happened. I changed water daily

[@gurpreetsingh2239]

Excellent video with full details

[@krishnadesai439]

Only warm water also works n change the water 3 times a day it will grow faster

[@apurvaashah]

I have a doubt. Do these seeds bloom flowers? And second does twin potting method work efficiently and does it give great results? Please clarify these doubt thank you 🙏

[@hallucinateme1285]

Dont worry, First 2-3 leaf will not go above water You can shift your plant in mud There will be thick notch like part 2 cm from seed from which roots will appear put that in mud and keep it in sunlight

[@malaymohanty6796]

Same thing happened to me also,. After 2 days these plants die

[@heychintu1]

Malay Mohanty I got the answer little bit, it's all about temperature may be, I just put 1 seed in the bottle and put that bottle in aquarium which was set on 26-28 degree... Now that one is germinated successfully, and still it is growing in good condition 😊
