I've seen people grow them in buckets like you use when you are mopping the floor. I think that might be better than that jar. But if you turn the jar on it's side it would make a great terrarium. (sorry I probably spelled that wrong). Good luck with your project. I'm glad it sprouted.

Thanks TK,
I'll get a bucket and give it a whirl....they say the lotus seed can be dormant for quite awhile....they do take a while to sprout but once it does it grows pretty quickly.....
I hope to see a flower someday....lol

I grew my lotus in one of them pink tubs they give you in hospital.I put about an inch of the gravel you use in fish tanks& used a larger rock to help keep my plant anchored down.
I sent some seeds into the fall fling.I have mine set out to start.glad you had luck with them!I just got my computer back.I haven't checked all my files.I had a fact sheet for growing from seed.Might search back in watergardens....I may have posted a link in the past.
I recieved a 1 yr tuber.It was about 8 inches wide.I imagine it grew in size.I just left my tub in place in pond.

I will age ungracefully until I become an old woman in a small garden..doing whatever the Hell I want!

Hi everyone,
I just want to show you my lotus flower plant that I started back in November. I found the seeds in my fall fling seeds from tkhooper.(thanks TK)
First I needed to sand the seed shell with actual sandpaper. Then I put the seed in water for about 3-4 weeks (til it sprouted). Then my husband planted it its current container.
I'm hoping it will keep on growing....I did buy a great glass jar for the final container
but hubby doesn't agree.....so we'll see.....lol
Here's the new container.......
Does anyone have an opinion? lol
Thanks,
