Chawan Basu Lotus Question
I have had a established Chawan Basu Lotus for a week now. I bought it in a big round plastic pot that had a couple of inches of water over it. It had no blooms just allot of leaves. I fertilized it with about 5 or 6 fertilizer tabs. I placed it in my pond which is 21 inches deep above the rim of the pot. The leaves that were under water turned yellow after a time and I cut them. I now have allot of leaves coming to the surface, but they float just like the lily leaves. Will the eventually break the surface and stand above the water, or do I have this lotus planted too deep?

Chawan Basu Lotus Question
I think you'll have better luck if you move your lotus
up so that there is about 4 inches of water above the rim of the pot. Wait!!! It depends on where you are located. If you are in the South - youmay not want it so close to the surface of the water. To be safe I'd leave about 6 or 7 inches down from the rim. Nedra http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/4836 http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 "Dominique" wrote in message et...

Okay ... I'm in St. Louis so we are neighbors! :)
My lotuses (Chawan Basu, etc) sit in a pond that has anywhere from 5 to 8 inches water above the rim. Good Luck!!
