A friend of mine gave me a small lotus a couple
of months ago that has really taken off. I contacted him about his method of
propagation ......here it is.
Take a triangular file and file a notch in the
seed...stop when you see white.
Keep the seed covered with water. He kept his
under lights. Change the water as needed. Eventually the seed will swell and a
growing tip will be visible. When growth is obvious, move the seed to a small
pot with some potting mix and keep in standing water. When the shoot shows above
the surface of the mix it is time to carefully move the plant to a very large
pot or to its final resting place. A seedling started in March or April will
have no trouble filling a 5 or 7 gallon pot before the end of July. Some seeds
sprout in a week to 10 days and some can take 15 or 20 days. His were started in
a 65F. basement and warmer temps. should result in faster
responses.
