      You guys are all going to be way ahead of me! It usually takes a long time for things to get to Canada through the mail ...
      I'm going to try putting mine on heat as the article says.

      All of my floaters are now sinkers after being held under water with a wet paper towel( obviously it would be wet!) for 24 hours.

      I received the seeds today, thanks! I sanded and are now in water. Same results others had. The rounder ones floated and the others sank. I'm anxiously excited to see the results.

      It is rare that a floating seed will sprout. I tested all of the seeds I sent and none were floaters at the time, and all were round seeds. Shriveled looking seeds also rarely sprout. I am hoping that everyone received viable seeds. Good luck with your projects everyone!

      I have never been able too grow them out. I have sprouted them but they alway kick the bucket.

      I've got GREEN! On one seed only, on of the larger seeds. I have my water sitting on one of those heated germination mats. Fingers crossed that I can keep them alive a little longer!

      Which one was it? The rounder or longer? Was that just one day?

      How in the heck did I miss this thread???

      I have been so swamped with the greenhouse build, everything else gets overlooked I guess.

      Good luck everyone, I look forward to see everyone's progress!

      Yes, it was just one day. I could just see the end of the sprout, it was not out of the seed yet. It was one of the longer seeds.

      Koiphen lotus grow out!

      My three floaters sank after 12-15 hours. Not sure if that increases their chances?

      Day 2; do I need to move each seed to a separate pot now? What will happen if I wait a day?

      I wait until there are three leaves (at least) on the plant before planting them up.

      Thanks Cindi! Do I need to put any dilute fertilizer in?
