You may be able to find a large plasic colander at a 99 cent store. Very
cheap alternative to premium prices.

I got 2 lotus today, end of the season sale or something, for $10,
really
didn't need'em but just couldn't pass'em up, after seeing Nedra's lotus.
Question is what kind of containers do you put these in. I know it's
suppose to be big, but what exactly do you guys use.....Thanks Claude


I have been told to use round containers, because the tubors will follow the
curved walls and grow. I have also been told that rectangular containers
will stop the tubors from spreading, as they will hit the corners and stop.
I am starting to think, a bunch of long rectangular containers are the way
to go. It sounds like you would have a lot of control, and the roots would
not be so tangled. Any thoughts?
