I ordered the Green variety...

When I received my order, I actually received a huge bulb that had 4 leaves
sticking out. I saw roots coming out of the top of the bulb, so I pulled
the plant out. I then took and planted the Lotus into the gravel. I also
planted the bulb in the gravel (just so about 1/2" of the bulb could be
seen. The Lotus is doing fine and the bulb has sprouted again!

Hello


I just got one of those red-leaved lotus plants (Nymphaea something).
The plant is attached to a bulb. What is the correct way to plant it?
More precisely, where should I place the bulb: on the gravel surface,
half-buried, buried just under the surface, deep-buried?
