Planting Instructions
Plant this medium sized lotus in a wide ( 18 - 24 inch or wider) container using loam soil. Dig a trench across the surface of the soil and gently place the lotus tuber in the trench, covering all but the growth tips with soil, leaving the growth tips exposed. Add a couple of inches of water above the soil and place where it will receive at least 8+ hours of sunlight per day (outdoors). In a week or two you will have coin leaves on the surface of the water, a week or so after the coin leaves, you will have aerial leaves growing out of the water.
Fertilizing Instructions
Once you have aerial leaves--you may fertilize your lotus with 3 - 4 fertilizer tabs per month during the growing/blooming season (June through September). Simply press the fertilizer tabs into the soil around the roots of your lotus, being careful not to damage the roots. Replenish any water that evaporates from the small bowl or container you are using for your lotus.
