having my 1st lotus in 20 years,, I just planted the 'sucker' 2 weeks ago.
I ONLY have 2(two) 3" leaves ( on the water). mmmm.
since they are nice & 'green' leaves, I can assume the plant is alive..
(end
of tuber is out of soil)

but WHEN can I expect some BIGGER out of water leaves???

I fertilized it when I planted it. its in a round tub. clay/dirt soil.
topped with sand & small pea gravel, at the moment its 6 " beneath the
water
level. water temp is 75.


My aerials took about 2 months from planting to come up.
