Yes the container was indeed too small, i just wanted to try a bit how it would behave. This was basically just a test before i make a complete seed to flower video :)
@@Ashish-er4kz you know that water is used for photosynthesis right. The plant used the water to photosynthesis and its product is oxygen. Those bubbles you see are the oxygen.
wow. yeah the container migt be too small but still. what a fantastic experiment. these timelapses are really letting us see nature in a whole different way. I truly get a better understanding of how the plant is alive. seeing the oxygen bubbles being created and it almost looked like the plant was using the air bubbles rising to the surface as a small lift to help itself grow. I hope you will try again, and I sure hope you will succeed. all said tough. This was not a failure in the bigger sense;)
1. Nutrients 1.1. Macroelement C, H, O, N, S, P, K, Ca, and Mg make up most of the substances that plants require for living. In the case of lotus, C and O are obtained from air through leaves, and H and O are obtained from water absorbed through the roots. In the case of S, K, Ca, and Mg, it is mainly obtained through the roots, and although these are macroelements, deficiency is rare except in special cases. The deficiency of N and P is the most common phenomenon. However, the lotus in your video doesn't seem to lack N and P. Not only was the growth of lotus not drastically inhibited, but also the growth of microalgae (e.g. cyanobacteria, green algae, diatom) and other aquatic plants is the basis. 1.2. Trace element Deficiencies of trace elements are extremely rare, and problems due to deficiency are difficult to diagnose. If you don't use distilled water or specially treated soil, don't worry too much. 2. Environment 2.1. Light By analogy from your video, it is judged as a weak environment. Although the environment is bright enough that the video can be photographed beautifully, it is expected that it is an environment that suffers from hunger from the perspective of lotus. In order to survive a plant, light with an intensity exceeding the light compensation point is required, and a certain level of light is required for normal growth. I have read some scientific papers related to lotus for you and summarized the light (Handberg and Stougaard 1992; Kawaguchi 2000; Díaz et al. 2005). The summary is as follows: Light cycle: 18 h/6 h day/ night Light intensity: 150-246 μmol/m^2/s =References= Díaz P, Borsani O, Marquez A, Monza J. 2005. Osmotically induced proline accumulation in Lotus corniculatus leaves is affected by light and nitrogen source. Plant Growth Regulation. 46(3):223-232. Handberg K, Stougaard J. 1992. Lotus japonicus, an autogamous, diploid legume species for classical and molecular genetics. The Plant Journal. 2(4):487-496. Kawaguchi M. 2000. Lotus japonicusMiyakojima'MG-20: an early-flowering accession suitable for indoor handling. Journal of Plant Research. 113(4):507-509. 2.2. Temperature and humidity Except for plants in special environments, ordinary plants grow smoothly at room temperature. Therefore, a temperature of 22-25 degrees Celsius is recommended. I don't know if your lotus is a tropical or temperate species, but both types will grow. Although lotus is rooted in water, it is a plant that grows in a fairly humid environment. If the environment in which you are growing your lotus is dry, you should find a way to improve this. Drying or necrosis of leaves often occurs in dry environments. A humidity of 70-90% is recommended. 2.3. Space I live in South Korea. So, I will introduce the lotus cultivation environment in Korea. There are various kinds of lotus fanatics in Korea. When growing lotus for children's education, a circular bowl with a diameter of 30-50 cm is mainly used. Usually the bowl is 15-20 cm deep and fills 5 cm of soil or half the depth of the bowl. More enthusiastic people use a basket the size and depth of a bathtub. Its materials range from ceramics, natural stones, plastics, and rubber. 2.4. Soil In Korea, mud is commonly used for lotus cultivation. Rice fields are common in Korea, and the soil of rice fields is similar to the soil of lotus's native land. The soil particles are very fine and the organic matter content is not high. The soil in your video looks similar to the soil in a rice field. And you have to be careful about the pH of the soil. Lotus in Korea mainly grows in a neutral pH environment. I had experience planting lotus seedlings using soil products for tropical Amazonian fish, and at that time I found that the low pH could kill lotus. If your lotus is vulnerable to pH, you should carefully consider your soil selection. 3. Treatment 3.1. Care of dry and dead leaves In Korea, lotus leaves and flowers are harvested and used as ingredients for tea and food. When harvesting leaves and flowers, care must be taken not to submerge the remaining stems after harvesting. This is because water can penetrate into the roots through the cut stems. The lotus root is also a part of life and consumes oxygen. Therefore, lotus has developed an organ that sends oxygen to the roots through leaves. The organ is an empty space in the stem, through which air is carried to the roots. If you manage blackened leaves in the wrong way, water will reach the roots through the stems and the roots will drown. Therefore, I recommend waiting for your lotus leaf to dry sufficiently and the connection between the stem and root will naturally break. 3.2. Fertilizer Fertilizers for crops vary widely, mainly in liquid and solid form. The inputs for these products are calculated and described in the description. But this is an explanation for land plants. So, it's likely that you will have to calculate the dosage yourself taking into account the osmotic pressure when giving it to aquatic plants. If you are not confident in this input calculation, I recommend using fertilizers for aquarium. ===== I am not an expert in lotus cultivation and I am not a lotus farmer. However, I am one of those who are interested in various plants and enjoy lightly as a hobby. I hope that my knowledge and investigation contents have been of great help to your lotus cultivation. In addition, I hope that my poor English skill will not become an obstacle in delivering my knowledge to you. Kind regards :)
@@Boxlapse My pleasure. May I ask for a personal request? I would like to see the carrot roots growing in your time lapse video. Looking at your radish video, I thought you could capture the process of the carrot's roots becoming huge. I think your video could be of great help to scientists and farmers. I sincerely support your video. I will omit any additional comments. Thank you :)
I wonder how 'fast' can be different for all living orrganisms... We humans might think its slow and need timelapse for it..but for the plant that slow movement may be fast for him..who knows?
@@zindainsan5126 Can you touch time? can you measure time? can you see it? its only perceived. You can measure "time" but only by how you perceive it. Time is how many events have passed since the last event. But in reality there is no time. One example, are drugs. They can alter you brain in such a way that you get time dilation. Minutes can feel like hours, or hours like minutes. That's because the drug is distorting your perception of time. Or when your having fun and don't realize how much time has passed, that's because you weren't perceiving time you were focused on something else(this is also why it feels like time is going extra slow when we are bored, since we are hyper aware of time when we are bored). We actually know which part of the brain is responsible for managing time. So yeah, memories and time are just made up. it doesn't mean nothing exist. search up time is a human construct.
When it didn't had reached the top of the tank I literally imagined it as a snail. The seed was the house of the snail and the green sprouts were its tentacles and eyes
That was absolutely amazing! I've never seen anything like this before 😄 thank you so much for sharing this with us all even if it was just a test! Thank you!
Its would be quite freaky if this was the actual speed in which they grow, just imagine someone throw a bunch of those in while your swimming and you see that
@@Boxlapse But be sure to separate the guppy fries(babies) because the guppies reproduce when they go in a new environment and they feel comfortable and like it. And u will not like to see them eating their own babies.
Mine did the same thing (turned black and died) in a small container so I started growing them in 5 gallon buckets and they grew great. Its a pain to change the water regularly tho.
Seeds like these usually do better if you throw them into boiling water and let them simmer (no heat) throughout the night, our during a 24 hours or 48 hours period... they eventually become much softer and bigger, thus the scarification becomes much easier.
Seeds are dormant until water gets inside. Some seeds have a very hard outer shell that, in nature, would naturally wear off after a while. When growing certain seeds at home, if you scrape off some of the hard outer shell the water gets in faster and you don't have to wait so long for it to start growing
@@Mila-Rosa Thank you so much for for the answer ! I am affraid not to rubb too much off. But i will give it a try. I have been eyeing some lotus at my local nursery for a few years, but necer had enough courage to try it.

What are those other plants that looks like grass growing in there?
Algae growth
Looks more likely cyanobacteria not an algae, and other aquatic plants from the soil.
