I see all kinds of recommendations in web searches I am looking for real
world experience. I am putting these in a veggie filter so there is water
flow into the filter and out about 2500 gph. The a settling chamber / veggie
filter is 2 foot wide by 16 foot long.
I am eventually want the Lotus in pots so they can be removed for the
winter. The pots type is still undecided but with the recommendations I see
for a rich soil, mesh pots do not seem like the best idea. Doesn't the soil
end up sifting out? Would a large plastic container be better? I have 5
gallon plastic containers used for trees I could use. One lotus per pot
maybe 10 - 15 pots. Fill them with a potting soil that does not have any of
that white Perlite stuff?? Anyway HELP????
I have the Lotus seed in a jar soaking for a couple of days. Once they
swell up and start to sprout I am going to move them to 4" clay pots
immersed under a few inches of water for a couple of weeks until they start
growing well and take root. Then I am going to need a large container so I
can move them to the pond.
