Sacred Blue Lily germination in the lab | Nymphaea caerulea

[@juliozubieta7122]

I live in Santa Cruz, the tropical region of Bolivia, and I have been growing Nymphaeas for several years. According to the description, it is possible that the specimen I have corresponds to Nymphaea caerulea. The first year I obtained great development and little vegetative reproduction. This last year, many seedlings appeared but very little development.

These are amazing. please don't stop making videos you're brilliant.

[@islamsharqawy]

I live in Egypt and I had them since many years and I gave many seeds and tubers to friends. I wish I can help you in any way if you still need the original native Nymphea caerulea

[@billwill8889]

You still got some?

[@billwill8889]

Looking to start trying to breed some ourselves!

[@jimmylieb5225]

William Tricker water lilies near Cleveland OH has them.

[@slimoeguendouz712]

can you ship to the Netherlands?

[@johnknox2443]

Are they acquired easily in Egypt?

cannot wait for your update video

Truly doing good work

[@Kid_Ikaris]

Hey there's an ecoretreat in Egypt called New Hermopolis that has its own lotus pond. I'm planning on going there this October. If you'd like I can try to see if I can collect some seeds or at least take some pictures to evaluate what they have.

[@electricveg]

From this one distant image on their (unfinished) website, it appears they might have the real thing. www.newhermopolis.org/our-retreat I'd be very interested in learning what you find out.

[@simoneibrahim159]

I was there too a few month ago. And I also thought they have the real one. But as I learned last week by visiting an Egyptian who is growing the real plants close in Saqqara the ones in New Hermopolis are not the original ones.

[@Kid_Ikaris]

@@simoneibrahim159 thanks for the heads up! There's no shortage of mystery and intrigue around this plant. That's pretty much all I know for sure at this point.

[@simoneibrahim159]

@@Kid_Ikaris yes, I also feel that. When you are going to Egypt I can recommend you to visit Bakr at the Blue Lotus of Saqqara (the Guesthouse isn't open but he always welcomes people interested in the plant.) He has a lot of experience and knowledge cultivating the plant since 20 years, but not selling any products. He is a very humble man.

[@Kid_Ikaris]

@@simoneibrahim159 I will thank you!

[@nickelhusky1861]

Really interesting to watch and I really liked it, can’t wait for the update!

[@billycleary7942]

Excellent work. Thank you for your sincerity and for sharing.

[@15armitagem]

Thank you for the detail you put into these videos!

[@AlbertLloydy]

Very informative video. Thank you.. I wish these were available in my area just for the sake of collecting them.

[@tronoses7774]

Please if possible show the process needed to germinate cyclopia intermedia.

[@canine.empress]

Can you share where you purchased it?

[@TheSolarInsider]

How was the rest of the process?

[@zane4ov444]

Yay another video!

[@peccant]

Another video! Thank you!!!

I am desperately looking for caerula

[@lweber6999]

​@user-vj7nd7be9mI would like some seeds.

[@SinfernalGaming]

Very interesting

[@unclecrusty1991]

Have you sourced a reputable vendor for Nymphaea Cearulea yet? May I message you personally? I'm very excited to find someone who's gone through the same problems I'm running into now. I'm so surprised that the scientific community or even the citizen scientific community are running into so many problems with the taxonomy of some of these plants. Especially such a famous one. I'm curious if you've had any success with breeding. Are they A-sexual? because ordering one wouldn't have allowed you to produce seeds would they? Reach out to me if you'd be so kind.

[@md.imranhusain5575]

Sir, I am doing research on Nymphaea How can I talk to you.

So can I use a banana so could I use a banana to increase ethelyne to get a higher germination rate?

[@jimmylieb5225]

apples have very high ethylene off gassing. .

I'm just about to try this

I live in Colorado and do a lot of work with herbal/plant medicine on a 1:1 caregiver level. I also extract and formulate.... I want to start growing blue lotus and work with it and it's extracts. What's the possibility of procuring from you since you've done the work and are confident this is the correct strain?
