How to plant water lily in seeds

Step 1: Select right side of seeds  

there's two ends to the seeds. One is a dimple end the other is a nipple end. With your drill bit (SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY) Drill into the (DIMPLE) end of the seeds just enough to penetrate the outer hard shell of the seeds carefully not to hit the inner white meat of the seeds.

Step 2: Scoring the Seeds

one and only most difficult part of this stage is to score the seeds (opening one end of the seeds) I've seen people try many ways. I seen it been filed down, you can sand it down, cut it with a knife or blade. 

Step 3: Container, Water, and Temperature

I used a old glass pickle about 7 inch tall in length. I was told not to use tap water straight from the faucet. But I'm a rebel so I use it anyways because it was easy to control the temperature and more convenient since this is all taking place in my kitchen. Not burning hot water but warm safe to touch water is what you want.

Step 4: Temperature 

1. the temperature needs to be around 60 to 90 degrees for it to germinate 
2. the stove light can be very beneficial since California don't have any sun right now or else I would just leave it at the window 

Step 5: It's Like Caring for a Baby While You Watch It Grow

Watching it grow is the most precious thing you can possibly experience from growing a seed into a fully grown plant. But wait just like a baby it needs your caring for and attention. Twice a day the water needs changing (replace with warm water) when the sun do decide to play peek a boo with you take it outside try to feed it as much sunlight as possible at least 7 hours a day.

Step 6: They Grow Fast...

About a 1/2 inch a day once you see the first 

growth spurts. I eventually had to transfer them 

in to a glass water jug because you want them 

to be at least 6 in tall before you can pot them

(I'll have an instructables update on that too soon) 

stay tuned.
