      Lotus flowers usually bloom between June and August, though the exact timing can vary by location and year

      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

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

    I have leaves that aren't as small as those but no flowers. I poured water til it just covered the pot the seeds are growing in, inside a larger pot but I'm not sure what to do next. The leaves are quite tall and droop over the the sides. In wonder if these are Mini lotus or if they're just going to be only leaves

    • @Self-taught_Therapy
      @Self-taught_Therapy  Год назад +2

      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.

    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?
