For the life I me, I can't remember, it's been 2 years. Getting old. There
is only approx. 8" or less of water over the soil. Guessing the
tuber/runners are no more than 4" down? The pot/container is 23 gallon &
round buried in the ground. Do you think I planted it too deep/too shallow?
The other bloom is doing great, as did it's first bloom last year.

Hi Wendy, Yes. Some of the stems do grow crooked ...
I don't know why they do this
- - How deep is your lotus planted?

Hi,
My lotus is sending up a second bloom. The first bloom is approx 9 days
old, so it's at the 5' level and swelling. About 4 days ago a second
bloom
appeared! I was so happy until I noticed the stem is crooked. Two
inches
above the water's surface it took a 3" horizontal detour, then went
straight
up again. It wasn't hung up on a leaf. Anyone else have this happen?
