PLANTING GUIDE

Prior to planting, it's essential to scarify the American Lotus (Nelumbo Lutea) seeds to break their hard seed coat and promote germination. Utilize a metal file to gently remove part of the seed coat, exposing the pale yellow center.

To begin, soak the seeds in warm water for about 24 hours to promote germination. Submerge the seeds in water, changing it daily to prevent any potential diseases, and allow them to sprout. This process typically takes around 2-4 weeks.

Once sprouted, plant the lotus in small peat pots, ensuring they are just covered in water. Be mindful that the emerging stem is, in fact, a leaf and not the taproot. As the plants grow, increase the water depth accordingly. When transplanting outdoors, exercise caution as the American Lotus is sensitive to root disturbance. Handle with care to ensure successful establishment in its new location.

Nelumbo lutea, also known as the American Lotus, thrives in a variety of water conditions, ranging from muddy shallows to depths of up to six feet. While its roots are anchored in the mud, its striking leaves and beautiful flowers gracefully float on the water's surface.

For those seeking to control its spread or facilitate relocation, cultivating the American Lotus in spacious containers immersed in water at least two feet deep can be a practical approach. It's worth noting that, despite its charm and benefits, this plant has a tendency to spread rapidly under favorable growing conditions and has been listed as an invasive species in states like Connecticut and Rhode Island.

I love it!!!
Size: M Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in
Easy to assemble, all the pieces were in the box. I set everything out to be sure. Instructions were easy and clear, took about 10 min to put together. Seems to be quality pipe, strong stable build even at just hand tight. When I put the desk top on it was already level so bonus there. This kit is a great value, before I found the M desk I was looking on Pinterest for pipe leg designs thinking a trip to the hardware store and I could make it for cheaper, which was not the case. I 100% will recommend, and will purchase again.
