How to grow a lotus flower from seed
The lotus flower has a unique life cycle. Its roots grow deep in muddy water, and each night, the flower sinks beneath the surface. Yet every morning, it rises again—clean, untouched, and beautiful.
Because of this, the lotus is often seen as a symbol of rebirth and spiritual growth across many cultures. People view its journey as a powerful metaphor for life: the mud represents life's challenges, and the blooming flower stands for our ability to rise above them.
With the right support and guidance, anyone can overcome obstacles. In doing so, we gain wisdom, compassion, kindness, and a deeper understanding—qualities we might not have developed without those struggles.

How to grow your own lotus
1. Prepare the seed
- Gently rub the seed with sandpaper where the small dimple is. This helps water get in.
- Be careful not to damage the inside of the seed.
- Important: Don't peel the seed!
2. Sprout the seed
- Place the seed in a container of warm water. Keep it indoors and change the water every day.
- After about a week, you should see it start to sprout.
- Once it sprouts, move it to a sunny spot (at least 6 hours of sunlight a day). Keep it in water at all times.
- After 2 weeks, you'll see roots and a few small lotus leaves.
3. Plant the seedling
- Choose a wide bowl at least 30 cm deep and 60 cm across.
- Add about 10 cm of clay-rich soil (no fertilizers or chemicals).
- Fill the bowl with warm water.
- Gently place the sprouted seed into the soil.
4. Grow the lotus
- Place in a warm, sunny spot.
- Keep the water level topped up as the plant grows.
