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) I decided to try growing one myself for our pond next year.
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.......



this container stand about 24"-26" tall and is about 18" in width. He's afraid the lotus will get stuck in the jar as the top opening is only around 6" in diameter....lol

Does anyone have an opinion? lol

Thanks,

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
