Default Lotus question, newbie to lotus

I bought a "Rosea" lotus, nelumbo nucifera, is what the tag says, I put it
in a 6 inch deep pot about 16 inches across, set it on a milkcrate so it's
about 4 inches below water surface, it was in what looked to be potting soil
or top soil in a 1 gallon container, left it in that stuff because they told
me the roots we very tender and easily damaged, surrounded it with yard
clay/soil and then covered the soil, not the growing parts, with pea gravel.
Fresh transplant so do I fertilize yet, it has four leaves, floaters, and
one new stem coming up after 3 days. How did I do with this, anything I
should change or do extra...Claude
