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.

Very nice kit: Beware it is NOT heavy duty plumbing pipe though!
Size: side table leg
I want to give this kit a high rating, but I need to address the "truth in advertising" bit since there may be an important disconnect between what you think you are getting and what actually comes in the box.
Black plumbing used for shelving or table legs is part of an important niche in interior design. I like the industrial loft look myself and have a variety of glass, steel, and masonry elements in my home. This kit fits that look and provides plenty of "strength" for most domestic uses, like shelves or coffee tables. But they are NOT "industrial pipe" or "maximum durability pipe." Note the phrase "cast iron finish feet," which together with the other claims might lead you to think these are cast plumbing fittings. They are NOT!
The feet and flanges feel like electrical conduit fittings, and the pipe sections are likely aluminum. They might be electrical or they might be multi-use, lightweight pipe.
While all this might lead you to think that you're getting a truly retro, heavy-duty pipe kit made of black plumbing pipe, you are not. But, does it matter? Depends. I find the lighter pipe's smooth finish a nice "tone-down" from the rough plumbing look. All together, this kit provides plenty of strength for most furniture and the rustic pipe look, but with a nicer, lighter finish. To me that is a plus--this is a very nice kit and costs less that if you'd pieced it together from real plumbing parts (I priced it out to compare), and looks retro but cleaner. I knew what to expect because while I got this kit free on Vine, I had purchased a nearly identical kit from another seller last year.
So, I'm giving it 5 stars for what it actually is and for the price, JUST BE AWARE THE NARRATIVE IS MISLEADING. Which is unfortunate because just like some people might want the heavier pipe, I'm betting more would be attracted to the look with a cleaner, lighter feel.
