How to plant your lotus tuber

Plant your lotus tuber in a wide, shallow, no holes container using loam soil. The container should be   11 - 20 inches wide. Fill the container 2/3 full with loam soil and dig a shallow trench across the surface of the soil. Gently place your lotus tuber in the trench, taking care not to bruise or damage the growth tips. Cover all but the growth tips with an inch of soil while leaving the growth tips exposed. Gently add 2 - 3 inches of water above the container and place it in a sunny area in your outdoor living space (8 - 12 hours of sunlight daily).  Check the water level often as the water above the plant can evaporate quickly. Replace the water that has evaporated with warm water. Do not fertilize your lotus until you have aerial leaves growing out of the water.

How to fertilize your lotus plant

Once you have ariel leaves you may fertilize your lotus plant. We recommend 'Waterlily World Fertilizer Tabs' for optimum growth, best bloom and ease of use. Simply press the tabs into the soil near the roots of your lotus plant, taking care not to damage the roots. Fertilize throughout the growing blooming season, but only after you have aerial leaves growing out of the water!
