30PCS Bowl Lotus Seeds Bonsai Lotus Seeds for Planting Water Lily Flower Aquatic Plants Seed Pond Plants Non GMO Home Garden Plant Seed Flowering Aquatic Bonsai Plant (Nelumbo)

SOOOO EASY TO GROW!!!#1 The seeds are already scored to expose the inner core. Those shells are rock hard, can't imagine trying to do that myself!My only ding is the product comes with zero instructions, but these days with AI, youtube, google etc it's not hard to research what to do.I only had 1 seed not germinate so that's really great odds! I also per google search changed water daily and kept water temp between 70 and 90 degrees at all times! Was a little OCD about it and had a meat thermometer in the water.Since they sprouted I've been using and indoor grow light to make sure they get their minimum 6 hours of sun a day.Weather here has been unreasonably cloudy and rainy more often than not.I have an extra large barrel that I will put in my garden with the proper lotus soil ( also amazon purchase)Really excited that my $8 experiment purchase worked out way better than expected! Was a little dubious when I read the negative reviews!!Pay attention to the details... don't just toss them into cold water and check on them in couple weeks!Great value for money!

I gave one star only because I couldn’t do zero stars. This is the most horrific thing I ever bought on this website. Amazon should stop selling this crap. Nothing open nothing bloomed. A few shoots came out. I Put them in water like you’re supposed to soak them. All it did was smell up the house finally when they started to sprout a little bit I put them in soil and they all died. Don’t waste your time or your money with these.

I was honestly a little worried about buying these because of all of the reviews saying not many of these seeds have sprouted. That is clearly not the case for me. I counted when I got the seeds and received a total of 39 in my order. The add says 30 so the extra seeds are a bonus in my book. Especially considering these are some of the less expensive Lotus Seeds on Amazon, it is a deal for sure.Anyway, of those 39 seeds: 30 have already begun to grow, 3 had to be thrown away due to going bad (moldy), and 6 have not begun to grow yet... they are in another cup with water and I'm waiting to see if they do anything. I am hopeful the 6 seeds will grow and do something because, as you can see, they are not all sprouting and growing at the same speed. Hopefully the 6 are just late bloomers and can join my other seeds soon.I did watch a couple different videos on YouTube and read a few articles about Lotus seeds so I could learn the best practices for getting these to grow and attribute that extra work in how well these seeds are doing. Main things I learned that should help anyone wanting to get these.1. When you first get the seeds one end has been sanded down a little already. Sand them down just a tiny bit more to get a little white showing. This makes it easier for the seed to sprout as the seeds start dry and have to fully hydrate before anything can happen. Roughing them up a little exposes the living portion of the seed so the water can reach it easier.2. You need to change the water daily. Everything I read and watch was repeating this multiple times because it is so important. The water needs to be room temperature, don't make it hot or cold. The new water should be as close to the same temp as the old water as possible before adding it to the seeds.3. Partial sunlight not indirect or full sunlight. If you have a window that let's some sun in for a few hours use that one.4. Be patient, sometimes it may look like the seeds aren't going to sprout but it can take more time than advertised on here. That is okay. Don't quit and don't give up on your seeds.I am so pleased with how well these seeds are growing and can't wait to give them out as the gifts I intended them to be, and keep a few for my home as well. I will, hopefully, remember to update once the plants begin to bloom so you can see the variety and how they are looking and doing.

Looking through all the reviews, not one flower! These might be fun to grow, mine are just sprouting almost three weeks, if they do decide to bloom I will re-evaluate my review, and post pictures. I’m hopeful.

Seeds sprout definitely good quality seeds

All I can say is that after watching a few different youtube video about how to grow these little guys I went with the hammer method. And it WORKED! I put 9 in 2 separate different containers with water (18 total)- only one batch I used sandpaper and the other batch I hit with a hammer. In about 20 min of being submerged - the hammered ones started to germinate. At first I thought only 1 - 2 were opening up -then about 2 hours later: 8 of the 9 were opening and I could see a tiny sprout forming. It's been about 24 hours since I started them, and the ones I used sandpaper on are still not showing any signs of germination. I still have half a bag of seeds left and I will definitely be using the hammer method for the rest of them. Totally worth it! Can't wait to see them grow!

There were no instructions, please stop selling products without them. I don't want to go online to try and find out what I need to do to plant flowers. It would be a waste of time and money if I didn't do what the website said to do BEFORE YOU PUT them in water. Because the video I saw just said put them in water and watch them grow. Thank you

25% of the seeds were sterile and never sprouted
