Lotus
Our lotus has been in the garage all winter with an aquarium heater keeping
it from freezing. It now has a few shoots. Outdoors some nights are still below freezing. Is it okay to put it out now or should I wait for the end of frosty nights? Thanks, Heather |

Wait a bit. I think it would be too much of a shock to the plant, you've come this far I'm sure another week or 2 won't hurt. -- Kind Regards Cameron "Heather" wrote in message .. .

General rule of thumb is to not plant a lotus until the water temp
reaches 70 degrees. They could go into shock and you will have problems if they are subjected to a drastic temp change. Paul www.pondkoi.com |
