Pruning my Lotus
My second bloom never made it. For some reason it fell over, and once it
touched the water, it was done for. I don't know if I bumped it, or a fish bit the stalk or what. I have another coming, and two on my dwarf lotus, so I am not too upset. Anyway, can I cut this stalk off or will the then open stalk rot the plant? -- BenignVanilla Pond Site: www.darofamily.com/jeff/links/mypond |

Pruning my Lotus
BV, cut the stalk way above the water line. It wont drown
that way. Nedra http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/4836 http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 "BenignVanilla" wrote in message ... My second bloom never made it.

Pruning my Lotus
BV, Leave it alone then. Please just ignore it. If it is
just bent it will probably live until it dies... ?? When it turns a dark brown you can probably cut it back. I never cut back the lotus stems... why my pond looks kinda messy ;-) A play on your mantra: LEAVE THE DAMN LOTUS ALONE! Lol!
