Thank you all-- though once again I have the whole range from ice cubes to
jacuzzi. Knowing that some have done it succesfully is encouraging. I'll
try
the foam board and plastic. Here's looking forward to spring's first
lotus
leaf.

The other part of the equation that wasn't discussed, was cost. If my
math is correct, it will cost about $20 per month to run a 500 watt heater,
assuming about 6cents per KWhr and 30 days per month.
(500/1000*24*0.06*30 = 21.6).

I realize that it might be difficult to move it indoors, but if it must stay
outside, then that is going to be one very valuable Lotus plant.
