If in a round pot, plant near edge of pot to allow growth along pot's edge. I have used both 3 foot window planter baskets, a 33 gallon rubbermaid and an 18-24 inch round pot. All seem to work well. 4. Cover with small rocks to protect against fish iiii. Be sure to be careful with the growing tips. Any damage and the tubor will be stressed and may not grow. 3.a.1 Sink the pot in anywhere from 2 inches to 3 feet of water. (This a joke, sort of) Lotus like to be in shallow water, but mine have thrived in deep water. 10. Check this with Nedra, she's the Lotus lady. BV. |

Lotus----- HELP!
Aww Gee Whiz, BV ... you always say that ... Thanks sweetie!
Anyway it sounds like you have covered all the bases... plus. One thing - Lotuses are a tough plant... except for the growing points ;-) Once established they are practically indestructible.

What zone are you in, what's your average water temp been? Perhaps you got one not hardy for your zone? ~ jan (Do you know where your water quality is?) |
