Elizabeth, I started them in a container of water, and within 2 weeks most of them had germinated. I have since transplanted them into a 18 gallon container outside, where they are doing great. Do a web search on growing lotus from seeds, and you'll find numerous sites. Good luck.

Don't buy this seeds, the seeds sent are messed up, don't look like should be and never grow up no matter what you try, in generall you just put them in water until they germinate

First you should score or grind off the hard cover from the seed only on one spot and until you see white then but them in a bowl of warm water I changed my water every day but you could do it every two days all of my seeds grew doing this good luck!!!

Buy topsoil and mulch and combine. Choose the potatoes you want to plant. You only need about 6. Let the potatoes develop eyes by putting them in a dimly lighted area. This takes awhile. Follow instructions that come with the bag. Don't overwater. Harvest when the leaves of the top layer are dry. The whole process takes awhile, but you will get potatoes.

Choose your seeds I shop at farmers supply houses they sell to farmers for growing thus better quality seeds and more variety and cost lower. Next soak for 24 hours. Seed absorb water thus expanding and starting the growth process -- do not shorten the soak period or you lengthen the growing period. Place in tray darken area of tray for 30 hours seed grow naturaly in the ground it is dark under the soil. Then give it light sun or house lights works just fine for the sprout process. I place mine near the sealing in the room that the room light is on the most. Water daily. Enjoy.

Just plant then about 1 1/2 inches beneath the soil, vertically, water and your good to go. Mine are all up and flowering. I've found that vertical placement lets Mother Nature the pattern for growth.

I planted them in 1/2 Top Soil, 1/2 Miracle Grow. Small pot to start with, bigger pots as they mature. Warm Temp; around 70-75. Same light as all other house plants and it grows. Pretty simple seedling Process.

It is hard to answer this question since I live inland by a few hundred miles. I will tell you that I was very disappointed in the size of the plant. It is very small. As well as some of the fronds arrived very dead. I tried to grow these and had no luck at all. I would not have ordered these if I knew how small and the poor condition of them. I have tried to find lemon grass in the local nurseries but no one seemed to know what I was talking about. Good Luck if you order these.

I also live in upstate NY. I bought one of these things on April 1, and plan to do exactly what you're asking about. For what it's worth, I spent a few dollars to buy a fairly inexpensive plastic greenhouse, and two clamp lights and special grow bulbs to shine on it. When I got it, the plant had one sad looking leaf. It now stands almost 2' tall and has sprouted 4-5 new leaves. Fairly soon it will outgrow the greenhouse, but I will supplement the sunlight with the grow lights when it gets to be Fall again, which both will keep it lit, and warm.

There were instructions with the seeds on how to plant them but I don't remember if there were any instructions on how to grow them inside. sorry

It should do fine in your area, has grown well here in north Fl. Water lightly daily for the first week, after that only needs water when you see it turing gray. best time to plant would be after the danger of frost is over. After established the cold will not hurt it. You should see good growth by the end of the first week. Wait till its about six or seven inches tall to mow the first time, after that you can mow as desired.

So it works like this use the hormone, you can plant in direct sunlight. Keep dirt moist for about ten days. The plant should have rooted by then. Mist about every Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Do not make it wet but damp.

I have a grey thumb, and my stocks are growing AMAZINGLY! Get a small, regular size plastic planter (~1 GAL) that can drain well, and add potting soil. Dip the bottom tip of the stalk in root hormone, stick in soil, pack soil down... water until water exits holes of pot at the bottom. Place in full sun. I live in Texas heat, and I've kept mine outdoors. I watered mine every 2-3 days when I could see that the soil was dry. When you spot new growth (little budding leaves that look like devil horns), your lil fella is producing roots, and you should prepare to transplant to very large container or garden. Look around on the internet for tips. I found Lucky Bamboo Expert on youTube was helpful, and the info on plumeria.org was invaluable. I'm so proud of my 4 guys, and I'm excited to see them mature. I started mine around July, and they have produced small blooms throughout the summer. Go for it!

I repotted my Pomegrante plant into a quart flower pot using some stones in the bottem of the pot,(you can use foam packaging peanuts)used regular potting soil, with a couple hands full of clay soil from my back yard, mixed in well with the potting soil , do not use potting soil that has fertilizer,that will kill it. after planting in pot,water it well, tap pot on work bench,floor, ground, what ever, than you may have to put in mall amount of soil, because of settlement, i cut small amount of straw around the plant,( which i cut with a sissor) to keep soil from dehydrating, which it will do fast indoors.i use a 100watt grow bulb in my lamp in my den during the cold winter, but it is now in my sun room, with two small Pomegrante, do not water it too often, that will kill it too, wait till the top of the soil dries out , which will cause the roots to grow down, seeking water. hope this helps ,

Good Morning. I live in New York. I have been growing lemon, limes, figs, etc. for years. I keep them in a large pot. The pots are one foot by one foot. This helps control their size. I only leave them out doors when temperatures are above 55. You have to make sure they have really good drainage and lots of bright light. I also feed them a citrus food. When they are in the house I use grow lights. I have been fortunate with an abundance of fruit. Good luck!

Get some potting soil and fill a small pot with it. I use a pencil to poke a hole in the dirt as deep as the bulb is long. Put the bulb in the hole. Cover the hole with dirt. You can put lots of the bulbs in one pot. The more you put in the pot, the more full the pot will look as the plant grows.

An easy and effective method to help with the watering is to place a "pad" of newspaper 8-10 sheets on the bottom of the tray. Form your blocks directly on this paper using damped starter soil mix (a bit damper than you would use for regular potting. Squeeze a fist full of dampened mix and it should hold its shape. It is OK if you can squeeze out a drop or two of water.). Plant your seeds. Gently water the paper next to the block, enough to saturate the paper and make it glisten. Check once or twice a day. I think this is a lot quicker and easier than misting.

You need to grow them in the dark until the last day. Then for 1 day you need to put it in the sun to turn them green & then put the in the fridge to keep them fresh.If you have absolutely no sun then cover them & put it in your car where it can get sun for the 1 day....careful not to spill the water....

Mine grew quite nicely. You will need to make sure that the soil is well over 50 degrees Fahrenheit when you plant. Water well. They do not like bright direct sunlight. I keep mine on the front porch in diffused sunlight in a large pot The majority of the pound that I planted, grew. It is very similar to ginger for the upkeep.
