Hi Bill,

I let my two tubers float for a couple weeks before I tubbed them up. I had
floaters the year I tried to pull the excess tubers out (not wanting to waste
anything....) I finally threw them out, I had way more lotus than my little
700g puddle could handle.

The ones floating freely, got long and lanky, and I don't think I would have
been able to pot them due to their longitudinal growth. I bought tubs at the
dollar store big things, put some holes in the bottom, potted up a couple
smaller tubers and gave them to friends.

I love the lotus leaves. Especially the rain running off them. Once I saw
Nedra's pictures I knew I had to have a lotus. I only regretted it when it ran
free and took over.
