Okay ... I'm in St. Louis so we are neighbors!
My lotuses (Chawan Basu, etc) sit in a pond that has anywhere from 5 to 8
inches water above the rim.

Good Luck!!

I think you'll have better luck if you move your lotus
up so that there is about 4 inches of water above the
rim of the pot. Wait!!! It depends on where you are located.
If you are in the South - youmay not want it so close
to the surface of the water. To be safe I'd leave about
6 or 7 inches down from the rim.

I have had a established Chawan Basu Lotus for a week now. I bought it in
a
big round plastic pot that had a couple of inches of water over it. It had
no blooms just allot of leaves. I fertilized it with about 5 or 6
fertilizer
tabs. I placed it in my pond which is 21 inches deep above the rim of the
pot. The leaves that were under water turned yellow after a time and I cut
them. I now have allot of leaves coming to the surface, but they float
just
like the lily leaves. Will the eventually break the surface and stand
above
the water, or do I have this lotus planted too deep?
