| I bought lotus seeds and started them about a month and a half ago. All I have is floating leaves crowding up the pot. Ive these websites of people that also started lotus from seeds, and their plants put up aerial leaves within a few weeks or so.
How do aerial leaves grow? Do they start out as floating, then grow above the water? Or do they just unroll in the air? I live in Arizona, if that makes a difference. Heres a picture of them.
Thanks! [: |

| When it is time for aerial leaves, they will come up and out and unfurl. Sometimes it might take 2-3 months for your first aerial leaf. |

| Yup, I concur. It takes a while. Your plant looks very good, actually. |

| It looks great ... I'd say they uncurl in the air. I would go so far to say people don't get aerials in a matter of weeks .... they gotta do/have the floaters first. |
