Growing Lotus Time Lapse - Seed to Water Plant in 50 Days

  • Time Lapse video over 50 days of growing a bonsai lotus variety from a seed to plant. Lotus seed was scored all over the its outer shell with a file before germinating in a water cup. It started spouting on day 3 and growing steadily. The plant was transferred to a larger container filled with rain water and mud from our backyard pond. This tipped the growing speed to another level, the lotus vines and its leaves' pads were thriving and appearing so fast. Afterward, I had to move the plant outside into a filled mud & rain water pot for its size.
    This is a fun-growing plant project and super easy to grow at home. Will have an update once it has flowers.

    Mine has been going for 6 months still no aerial leaves let alone flowers they say you wait 1 or 2 years before it starts to flower

      Mustafa, Lotus needs strong sunlight to develop aerial leaves, so planting it outdoor or under a strong light will help. Yeah, it may take 1 year or so before seeing flowers.

      Oh, I'm not sure why, but when I planted it indoor, it had no aerial leaves, however, after moving it to outside a month or so, it has been having some aerial leaves as you can see at the end of the video.

    What kind of light did you use? And no water changes literally just let it go? What did you use for a substrate? Looks like clay, and I'm assuming no fertilizer? Also how far away is the light from the top of the bowl? I'm sorry for all the questions.

    • @eLapseTime
      @eLapseTime  2 роки тому +23

      Yes, no water changes but regularly added water, no fertilizer. I lighted up a LED grow light above it about a foot. The substrate was mud that I took out from a pond close by.

    P.s. I change the water every 2 days.
    Thanks in advance

    Wow ! Excellent video. Did you use lights, if so would standard led grow lights work, what about Temp of water\air
    I just read what you said strong lights so that's good as I've got hid and some very powerful LEDs but they're kind of expensive to run do you know the amount of hours suggested or maybe just growing outside in the right time of year bring them in the winter maybe I'm in Central Texas zone 8a \ 8b

    • @eLapseTime
      @eLapseTime  10 місяців тому

      Zone 8a/8b is prefect for growing lotus. No need to bring them inside in the winter. If you grow them indoors, 8-10 hours of light are enough.

      Firstly, they bloom during Jun to Sep. Secondly, depending on a lot of factors it can take up to two years for the first flowers. And they just flower for 4 days, and once a year. There are a lot of verities of lotus so this very a lot. Some bloom fast some don't. Some are not even lotuses but water lily's. Blue lotus that's sold as tea is usually not the Egyptian one sense that one is a blue water lily nicknamed blue lotus. The blue lily is more of a light blue colour rather than dark blue to purple. Haha that was not the question but anyway. Plant them early spring and you might get a flower 3 to 5 months later.
