I would like to hear more about how you grow water plants from seed. What containers do you start them in and how do you transplant them? How do you learn if the seed needs scarification? How do you store the seed? I'm told the seed I've ordered has to be kept cool and moist until planted.
Years ago I grew trees from seed as a hobby. I ordered seed from an outfit in New England that sold thousands of kinds of seed from around the world. I learned that different seeds require different treatment. Sometimes the treatment is very simple, and sometimes it's complex. Some seed needs to be scarified, some needs to be pre-chilled, and some needs both. Some of the recommended treatments didn't work well for me, and sometimes I worked out something that worked better. One method that often worked well was starting the tree in a 15 oz can, and then when the time came for transplanting, I cut the bottom out of the can and planted the can. I wonder if that wouldn't work for some water plants?
