Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Scarification: Lightly nick the hard outer shell of each seed with a file or sandpaper until the white layer beneath is visible. This helps water penetrate the seed, aiding germination.

Soaking: Place the scarified seeds in warm water for 24 to 48 hours until they swell. Change the water daily to prevent stagnation.

Sowing:

Container Preparation: Fill a shallow container with about 3 inches of rich, loamy soil.

Placement: Gently press the swollen seeds into the soil, ensuring they are about 1 inch deep.

Watering: Cover the soil with water, ensuring it is about 2 inches above the soil line.

Germination:

Location: Place the container in a warm, sunny location with temperatures between 75-85°F (24-29°C).

Monitoring: Check the water level daily, maintaining it above the soil. Germination should occur within 1 to 2 weeks.

Transplanting:

Timing: Once the seedlings have developed several leaves and are strong enough to handle, usually after a few weeks.

Preparation: Prepare a larger container or a pond location with at least 6 inches of rich, loamy soil at the bottom.

Placement: Carefully transplant the seedlings to the new location, ensuring the roots are well-covered with soil and the leaves are above water.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Ensure the plants are submerged in water at all times, with leaves floating on the surface.

Fertilization: Feed the plants with a balanced aquatic fertilizer once a month during the growing season.

Pruning: Remove any yellowing or dead leaves to encourage new growth and prevent decay.

Winter Care: In colder climates, protect the plants from freezing by moving them to a frost-free area or providing adequate insulation.

By following these instructions, you can enjoy the beauty and tranquility of Asiatic White Lotus in your water garden or pond.

HAPPY GARDENING!
