Mixed Color Bonsai Bowl Lotus Live Plants Pre-Sprouted - Aquatic Beauties for Indoor and Outdoor Serenity
Characteristics and Uses of Mixed Color Bonsai Bowl Lotus Plants
The Mixed Color Bonsai Bowl Lotus (Nymphaea spp.) is a stunning aquatic plant that brings a serene and peaceful ambiance to any garden or indoor space. These pre-sprouted live plants feature a mix of vibrant flower colors, ranging from soft pinks to striking whites, purples, and yellows, making them a beautiful addition to ponds, water gardens, and decorative indoor water features. The compact bonsai-style growth habit makes them ideal for smaller spaces, such as patio containers or indoor water bowls. These non-GMO plants provide not only stunning blooms but also attractive foliage that floats gracefully on the surface of the water, creating a tranquil setting in your garden or home. The Bonsai Bowl Lotus thrives in water and can be enjoyed both outdoors in ponds or indoors in water-filled containers, offering versatility and elegance in any space.
Growing Conditions for Mixed Color Bonsai Bowl Lotus Plants
The Mixed Color Bonsai Bowl Lotus thrives in warm, sunny conditions. These plants require full sun to produce their vibrant blooms and grow best in warm water, typically between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). They prefer slightly acidic to neutral water with a pH of 6.5 to 7.5, and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil is essential for healthy root development. While they are generally easy to grow, they do need access to a large, open water area for proper root growth. Indoors, they can be grown in water bowls or small containers, but it’s crucial to ensure that the water is refreshed regularly to avoid stagnation. Whether grown indoors or outdoors, the Bonsai Bowl Lotus should be placed in an area where they can receive ample sunlight for at least six hours a day.
Planting Tips for Mixed Color Bonsai Bowl Lotus Plants
When planting your Mixed Color Bonsai Bowl Lotus live plants, place them in a container or pond with nutrient-rich, well-draining soil that is submerged in at least 6 to 12 inches of water. If you are growing them indoors, choose a large, shallow container that allows the lotus to spread. Ensure that the water is kept clean and fresh, and add an appropriate aquatic fertilizer to encourage healthy growth and blooming. While these plants have pre-sprouted roots, they still need a bit of space to expand, so make sure the container or pond provides enough room for growth. Keep the lotus in a location with plenty of sunlight—if grown indoors, place them near a south-facing window or under grow lights. Be cautious of water temperature and avoid placing them in areas with drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations.
Watering Instructions and Tips
Watering the Mixed Color Bonsai Bowl Lotus is all about maintaining the right water level and quality. These aquatic beauties thrive in water that is not only at the right depth but also refreshed regularly. If grown in a pond, the lotus will naturally receive the required water levels. However, if growing indoors, ensure that the water in your container remains consistently full, and it should cover the roots and allow the lotus to float naturally. Regularly check the water for clarity, and replace it every couple of weeks to avoid stagnation. Add aquatic-specific fertilizers to promote healthy growth and blooming, and be careful not to overfeed. Maintaining good water quality is key to ensuring vibrant blooms and overall plant health.
Growing Zones (USDA & Global Zones)

In global terms, it thrives in regions with moderate to tropical climates.
