BV,

I'm delighted to report that we don't have to get in ice cold
water - not yet! You can wait until there are two, maybe 3
leaves floating on the surface before Repotting. This info
is per James Allison of the International Water Lilies group.

Anyone in Zone 6ish repoting Lotus yet? Mine is in it's temporary
rectangle
rubbermaid at the bottom of 3.5 feet of water. I can't get it out without
getting in, and that just ain't happening for another month or so.
