No result, no flower growing

I was honestly a little worried about buying these because of all of the reviews saying not many of these seeds have sprouted. That is clearly not the case for me. I counted when I got the seeds and received a total of 39 in my order. The add says 30 so the extra seeds are a bonus in my book. Especially considering these are some of the less expensive Lotus Seeds on Amazon, it is a deal for sure. Anyway, of those 39 seeds: 30 have already begun to grow, 3 had to be thrown away due to going bad (moldy), and 6 have not begun to grow yet... they are in another cup with water and I'm waiting to see if they do anything. I am hopeful the 6 seeds will grow and do something because, as you can see, they are not all sprouting and growing at the same speed. Hopefully the 6 are just late bloomers and can join my other seeds soon. I did watch a couple different videos on YouTube and read a few articles about Lotus seeds so I could learn the best practices for getting these to grow and attribute that extra work in how well these seeds are doing. Main things I learned that should help anyone wanting to get these. 1. When you first get the seeds one end has been sanded down a little already. Sand them down just a tiny bit more to get a little white showing. This makes it easier for the seed to sprout as the seeds start dry and have to fully hydrate before anything can happen. Roughing them up a little exposes the living portion of the seed so the water can reach it easier. 2. You need to change the water daily. Everything I read and watch was repeating this multiple times because it is so important. The water needs to be room temperature, don't make it hot or cold. The new water should be as close to the same temp as the old water as possible before adding it to the seeds. 3. Partial sunlight not indirect or full sunlight. If you have a window that let's some sun in for a few hours use that one. 4. Be patient, sometimes it may look like the seeds aren't going to sprout but it can take more time than advertised on here. That is okay. Don't quit and don't give up on your seeds. I am so pleased with how well these seeds are growing and can't wait to give them out as the gifts I intended them to be, and keep a few for my home as well. I will, hopefully, remember to update once the plants begin to bloom so you can see the variety and how they are looking and doing.

We bought these seeds last fall, in the early spring we planted the seed inside following the instructions the seeds came with and they germinated just fine. Around May 1st the large pot was moved out to our patio where it gets about 8-10 hour of sun a day where it continued the grow all summer( see attached picture). Well here we are 9/15/25 it was 46 last night and the forecast is going to be the same in the near future and to date WE HAVE HAD 0 BLOOMS :-( ... Very disappointing!!! We live in Eastern Oregon so fall is just a few weeks away so we'll winter the seeds over and try next year.

All I can say is that after watching a few different youtube video about how to grow these little guys I went with the hammer method. And it WORKED! I put 9 in 2 separate different containers with water (18 total)- only one batch I used sandpaper and the other batch I hit with a hammer. In about 20 min of being submerged - the hammered ones started to germinate. At first I thought only 1 - 2 were opening up -then about 2 hours later: 8 of the 9 were opening and I could see a tiny sprout forming. It's been about 24 hours since I started them, and the ones I used sandpaper on are still not showing any signs of germination. I still have half a bag of seeds left and I will definitely be using the hammer method for the rest of them. Totally worth it! Can't wait to see them grow!

I tried getting the seeds to sprout and used a little less than half of them on my first try. They sprouted pretty quickly but I was never able to get them to bloom. Also, the water got really dirty often and had to be changed every second or third day because the smell was unbearable. I would not buy these again. Maybe they will work for someone else in a different climate. I live in a hot desert climate but tried to get these to bloom inside.

I bought these at the end of May, it’s august now. I immediately put them in my pond. They grow extremely quickly. However I haven’t gotten a single flower from them. If you’re looking for shade, they’re great. If your looking for flowers,they are a flop.
