BV, cut the stalk way above the water line. It wont drown
that way.

My second bloom never made it. For some reason it fell over, and once it
touched the water, it was done for. I don't know if I bumped it, or a fish
bit the stalk or what. I have another coming, and two on my dwarf lotus,
so
I am not too upset.

Anyway, can I cut this stalk off or will the then open stalk rot the
plant?
