PondMegastore.com offers a FREE print version of our Lotus Growing Guide with any order of Lotus! Make the first year a sucess with mulitple blooms and ease in growing these plants properly. (Nelumbo Nucifera hybrids) Also known around the world as Sen, Kamal (पवित्र कमल), liánhuā, hoa sen thiêng, Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn. Matt describes the benefits of ordering lotus selections via Pond Megastore Nurseries and the growing guides and help included when Purchasing.
Matt takes us through what we need to know about planning a natural earth bottom pond including planting oxygenating grasses, shelf plants, and large flowering waterlilies you can see from afar! None of our reccomendations will overtake your pond.
We know a standing bucket of water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes. But what if I tell you a living watergarden elimates the population of mosquitoes for the whole yard? How? Matt explains in this excellent video and 2 or 3 of the reasons you may have accomplished without even knowing why it happened!
A hardy water lily has a different root system than the annual or tropical lily. They can survive cold winters under the ice but also need a much wider container to grow and flower properly. Follow these easy steps!
Welcome to Pond Megastore! Please give us a few minutes of your time to explain and answer common questions about the entire experiece about what is to be expected when ordering from Pond Megatstore.
Must Watch! Please never wait to address an issue, even the smallest concern. We are requiring issues with delivery be reported in the first 24 hours so we know they are attended to and the issue lies with delivery or before. If at any time after arrival plants show signs of stress please contact us immedietly so we can solve an issue before it is too detrimental to correct.
NONE of the listings for seeds on Amazon or Ebay or Etsy are Blue Lotus. Every image is either an incorrect waterlily or photoshopped Lotus image. All of them. Yes, you are being sold a seed, it will probably sprout but not the plant that is Historically known as the Blue Lotus of the Nile. No Lotus are blue, so what is that Flower?
Matt discusses which of our marginal bog plants will bring these little jewels to your garden. Cardinal Flower, Milkweed, and Monkey flowers are just a few reccomendations! Remember bright tubular shaped flowers are what these creatures need to drink. Have you heard of firecracker plant?
Cardinal Flower,
Firecracker plant ... we have a whole suggested selection you should entertain these guests with.
Never worry about algae again after you watch Jennings explain the 3 causes. There are suggested solutions based on the cause. There is no answer that fits all so lets explore the situation together!
Laura Bancroft sits down with Amy to discuss a few of our very favoirte deep red lotus like Xi bei po, Titan, Red Shanghai, and more!
Though we still need you to follow our planting instructions and acclimating plants guide when taking them out of the box, these plants are some of the very easiest we can get you started. Jennings mentions some very easy bog (wetland) plants (for shallow water), hardy water lily varieties, and some floating plants that are not used as often as they should.
Jennings will describe a good size container, the proper planting matrix and the fertilizer schedule of annual water lilies which need temperatures of 72 degrees or warmer. Keeping these plants happy will have them blooming daily into fall with ease!
Most all our plants need to stay cool and hydrated. Let us begin by getting a few buckets of pond water to a shady side of the house and acclimate these plants properly for the first 48 to 72 hours before putting in sunlight. Do not take indoors to acclimate, that is too dark.
Ken Landon & Tim Davis from the International Waterlily Collection in San Angelo show us how they divide and replant a hardy waterlily. This is important to keeping the water lily plants flowering freely.
This depends on the time of year you place the order. In late winter and spring live orders are usually held until proper planting time. Schools and labs buy plants all year, check with us by phone or email if you need something in the chilly part of the year and we can let you know before ordering if we can ship that right out.
We ship Live plants Monday - Wednesday each week until June 1. After June 1 we usually only ship live plants on Mondays and Tuesdays. Your order must be in the previous weekday by 9:30 AM Eastern Time in order to be processed and prepped for shipping the next day. Orders placed after 9:30am Eastern on the last preparation day of the week (Tuesday or Wednesday) will then be held until the following week for shipping. We aim for plants to arrive within 2 or at most 3 days of shipping. Depending on the quantity of tadpoles they may be one or two days in transit.
Transit does not account for the processing time which could be 1 day or as many as 5 in hot summer weather when we ship only at the beginning of each week.
Non live goods ship Monday - Thursday. Many plant items ship from the nursery with the plant order (like fertilizer). Many non-plant items like fish food ship from our warehouse and ship separate from the other items on the order. Live fish and Bulk Tadpole order ship Monday-Thursday each week. Please see out videos on how to acclimate Fish, Tadpoles, and Live Plants before ever placing the order so that things go smooth and simple for you and the live products!
