Lotus Question
I planted a dwarf lotus for the first time this year. I have alot of growth
and have three flowers forming, one of them quite far along. The question I have is what do I do with it when it dies back. Do I need to remove it from the pot and divide it each year? How do you do that? Any good resources for directions? Lisa Texas |

My dwarf got uprooted and lost in the pond. I did not find it until mid season. I potted it up, but it is not doing well. Oh well. Anyway, here is a place for the some information on lotus, repotting, dividing, etc. http://www.iheartmypond.com/Plants/E...us/default.asp BV. |

Lotus Question
Sounds like you have a winner there!
You don't have to remove the lotus from its growing pot every year. I haven't divided my lotuses in three years now and see no problem with them blooming. I don't really advise this approach however. For 'winter' protection, (yeah right, in Texas yet!) you just have to sink the pot to the bottom of your pond. Probably the best resource for growing lotus is he http://www.victoria-adverture.org Good Luck ... Nedra My Lotus Pond: http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 "YAhoo" wrote in message ...
