Default What planting medium for Lotus.

dont put the lotus in flowing water, they need so much more fertilizer than the water
will provide. if there is a still area in the filter, then fine. Ingrid

The filter is about 24" deep at the back and about 16" at the front. I
was hoping to put the Lotus in the Veggie filter so they could get the
nutrient from the return water. I will be using a large plastic sealed
container for each Lotus seed.
What is the reason not to put the Lotus in the Veggie Filter? Otherwise
I would have to put them in the pond and the Koi would make a mess. The
Veggie Filter is bigger than some peoples pond.
