Hi Nedra - God, you are just only back and I have a problem with the
statement below - My 2 Lotus are planted in containers - in containers on
my deck and after 3 to 4 yrs HAS to be divided and repotted or they get root
bound and stop growing and flowering and I need to fertilize them with 3 to
4 pond tabs every 6 wks until Aug or they die back early - maybe the fact
you have them in a pond of their own, not potted so they can spread as they
want alleviates that - also I don't know how you would fertilize them even
if you needed to - they do love their fertilizer
Gale :~)
Jan, I honestly believe that dividing lotus is a myth. These haven't
been divided since I first season after the pond was dug - probably
year 2000. I haven't even fertilized them this year. All I do is add
the water from the koi/fish pond - until the lotus garden is flooded.
Thanks for the compliment, kiddo.
