    🌞 How to Grow Lotus Flowers (Beginner-Friendly Steps)

    Lotus plants grow best in sunny water gardens, backyard ponds, or wide containers. Here’s a simple way to start:

    🪷 What You’ll Need:

    • A large wide pot (no drainage holes)

    • Heavy topsoil or clay soil (no potting mix)

    • Lotus tubers (buy from a nursery or online)

    • Warm, sunny spot

    • Water (2–12 inches above soil)

    🌱 Planting Steps:

    1. Place tubers horizontally on top of the soil.

    2. Cover gently with a bit of soil but leave growing tips exposed.

    3. Add water gently until the soil is submerged.

    4. Place in a warm, sunny area (at least 6 hours of sun daily).

    5. Be patient—lotus takes a few weeks to sprout and bloom!

    🌸 Pro Tip:
    Lotus flowers thrive in summer and go dormant in winter. If you're growing them in a colder area, protect the tubers during winter months.
