Nymphaea lotus low temperature
I've done the web search and it looks like everybody read the same
book regarding this plant, but didn't tell me what I wanted to know. What is the temperature that the plant will survive in a dormant state to recover when the water warms again? -- - Charles - -does not play well with others |

Nymphaea lotus low temperature
Is your lotus a hardy one? If so, it should winter over in Zone 4.
The only thing you have to worry about is Not to let the tuber freeze. Nedra http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/4836 http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 "Charles" wrote in message ...

Nedra http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/4836 http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 Actually Nymphaea lotus is a waterlily, not a lotus, that's just its name. It is a tropical night-bloomer. It is used as an aquarium plant as well as a pond plant. -- - Charles - -does not play well with others |

Oh Boy .. Is my face ever red. Thanks for the correction.
I knew something didn't seem right in the first LATIN word but typically I plowed on ;-) A tropical waterlily does have to be taken inside or replaced each year here in zone 6.

Nymphaea lotus low temperature
It is rather confusing.
According to the web site I am in zone 8-10, a lot of help. Probably this year it would count as 10, my pond temp is 56 F. (rub it in?) The books and web sites I have found discuss temperatures about 70 F for growing conditions, what I hope to find is the survival temperature, or maybe it is the same?

Nymphaea lotus low temperature
I'm still looking for info on the plants.
I'm is So. Calif. This is the second year that it hasn't gotten cold here, I still have impatiens in the ground that were planted in 2002. I don't like cold, ice and snow. I know some people do, and they are welcome to my share. :-) On Sun, 01 Feb 2004 10:50:34 GMT, "Nedra" wrote: 56 degrees ... I remember those days. Actually the ice storms and snow have covered my pond. We have more ice 'n snow expected this afternoon - but our temps are supposed to moderate. Thank Heavens for the De-Icer. Did you figure out the temps for your tropical lily? It seems that zone 10 should really be fine to keep it alive ... but I don't know for sure. Are you in Florida?

One book says the N. 'Juno' is considered to be N. lotus, and that N.
'Trudy Slocum' is a selection of 'Juno.' I am getting a bit less sure of the identification as I look more, I am sure it is a Nymphaea, but it could be N. maculata. Maybe when/if it blooms I can get a better idea. On Sun, 01 Feb 2004 15:47:17 -0800, ~ jan JJsPond.us wrote: From my experience it depends on the tropical.

In north carolina, supposedly zone 8 every tropical water lily left out has been dead and gone when the water temperatures get to lower than 50°f. Pond water temperatures dont get lower than 40°f but by then the tropicals have long gone... Regards, andy http://www.members.aol.com/abdavisnc/swglist.html |

wrote: Does it still have leaves at the crown? ~ jan Not sure I understand this. I am presently growing the plants in tropical aquariums, and they are doing well. I am thinking to add them to the pond and want to know how warm the water must be before I do that. The pond has been running about 56F lately, but cold could still come to visit. I don't remember if I mentioned it, these plants are sold as dry tubers in the Wal-Mark aquarium section, they hang on pegs with the artificial plants. They are also selling dry aponegeton tubers. -- - Charles - -does not play well with others |
