hi. when growing the seed be sure to change your water daily and replace with warm water! when your changing the water give the seeds a shake. this helps with germanation! once they sprout move the sprouts to a different container and make the water EQUAL to what your final transplant debth will be. do this all BEFORE the first leaf reaches the waters surface,because lotus once the leaf has reached the surface will not tolerate a difference in water in water debth. after the fourth leaf appears fertizilize with a good fertizilizer. i like to use highland rim pond tabs. the ratio is 10:26:10. notice how high the middle number is? thats the phourphous and its very good for the lotus and it promotes blooming. i also use a small amount of chalated iron in the water and this really greens the leaves nicely! good luck with your lotus! show us some pictures when she is growing! remember lotus love the sun and give her at least six full hours a day! happy growing :)
