Planting Instructions
Plant this tall specimen in a wide (30-48 inches or wider), shallow container using heavy loam soil. Dig a trench across the top of the soil and place your lotus tuber in the trench, keeping the growth tips pointed up. Cover all of the tuber except the growth tips, leaving them exposed. Gently add 4-6 inches of water over the soil and place your container in full sun (8+ hours). DO NOT FERTILIZE. In a week or two you will have coin leaves growing on the surface of the water, soon you will have aerial leaves growing out of the water.
Fertilizing Instructions
Once your aerial leaves are growing out of the water, you may fertilize your lotus with 4-6 fertilizer tabs every month throughout the growing/blooming season (June through September).
