Learning how to start water lily seeds » is a rewarding step for gardening enthusiasts who love aquatic plants. At International Waterlily Collection, we help you begin this journey with confidence. To start, soak your water lily seeds in warm, clean water for a few days until you notice sprouting. Once sprouted, transfer the seeds gently into containers filled with heavy loam soil, submerging them just below the surface in shallow water. Keep the water temperature warm and the environment sunny for optimal growth. Within weeks, you’ll see small leaves rising, indicating healthy development. Patience is key during this early stage. As they grow stronger, you can transplant them to larger pots or into your pond.
