ZEshops Bowl Lotus Seeds for Planting, Pre-Scarified, 10 Count, Pond Garden

All 10 of our seeds sprouted in less than a week. I followed the instructions; however after changing the warm water, I placed the bowl in our microwave & closed the door. I think the residual heat in a closed enclosure helped - I never actually microwaved them!

I’m excited to see every seed sprouting in about 3 days in my aquarium! I just tossed them in my aquarium and put some plant fertilizer in and they are growing nicely all ready. I can’t wait to see if I can get some flowers- So far they look healthy and happy- very easy to grow Update - They never opened into a Lilly pad , never opened into a flower in fact they started dying in my aquarium creating a mess. The last photo shows them dead with a strange white fuzzy material all over them that resembles cotton - I had to throw them out and clean my aquarium.

Many people who rated this with one or two stars are just doing it wrong. Do the research, then do it right! All ten seeds sprouted within 3 days, but one separated from the seed husk. I placed it back in, but I don't think it will make it. The other nine did just fine and are now planted and growing healthy and strong. I am happy with that. Honestly, I would have been happy with 6/10, so nine is great. They have broken through the soil surface and are just reaching the surface of the water today. I can't wait to see how they do. EDIT: It's 2 weeks later and the leaves started opening. These pics are just a few days apart. By tomorrow, there will be 5 more leaves open. Overall, very happy with the purchase!

Theses are difficult to grow. But I think I finally got the hang of it. Good value. Don’t buy the dirt they tell you to. It killed the first batch

I ordered this 10-pack of mixed bowl lotus seeds and was really impressed—9 out of 10 germinated, which is much better than I expected! After about 2 days, the seeds started sprouting, and by week four, each plant has 2–3 healthy leaves. I started them in a clear bowl on a west-facing windowsill, changing the water daily, and they thrived in that setup. Once they had leaves, I transplanted them to a larger outdoor bowl with water plant soil and placed it on my patio. They're continuing to grow well, and I’m really excited to see them flower in the coming weeks. The seeds were clearly viable and healthy, and they’ve been low-maintenance so far with consistent water changes and sunlight. Tip: Be patient the first few days, and don’t skip changing the water—it really helps prevent rot.
