Lotus planting
Hi all. A little while back I posted a few questions about tubers and
planting lotus. I still need help. I planted it in about 5 inches of soil, covered with maybe 3/4" of pea gravel, crown above this, parallel and close to the edge, about an inch below the lip. Its only about 4" below the water in the shadiest part of my nearly full sun pond. I was told my pot was very small. I dont think it would have mattered if I had a 100 gal pot. The first leaf rose wasnt real happy - maybe 7", yellow lime colored. It immediately sent out a runner right over the edge of the pot, into the pond and has since added several more. The leaves that rise are maybe 2", quickly turn from yellow to brown and die. Other than the pot I musta done something wrong. Should I break off at a rooted joint and replant it. If so what do I do differently. Thanxx Bill Brister - Austin, Texas |
