Lotus Planting Instructions
Plant this beautiful lotus, Large Brocade Edge Lotus, in a wide (24-48 inches or wider), shallow container using heavy loam soil. Dig a trench in the soil and place your lotus tuber in the trench being careful not to break or damage the growth tips. Cover the tuber with soil while leaving the growth tips exposed. Add six inches of water above the soil and place your container in a sunny location outdoors. (Lotus need 8+ hours of sunlight daily to grow and bloom!) In a week or two you should have coin leaves growing on the surface of the water, a week or two after that you should have aerial leaves growing out of the water. Once you have aerial leaves, it is time to fertilize your lotus. Tall/White/Double
Lotus Fertilizing Instructions
Lotus are very heavy feeders! We recommend Waterlily World Fertilizer Tabs + Humates for optimum growth, best bloom and ease of use. Simply press four to six fertilizer tabs into the soil near the roots of your lotus, being careful not to damage the roots. Do this once a month throughout the growing/blooming season (June through September). Your lotus should grow and bloom the very first year!
Please Note:
Plant you lotus in warm weather, usually the month of May, after all danger of frost has passed. (Lotus tubers can be stored in the crisper of your refrigerator until proper planting time in your area. Please see our 'Complete Lotus Guide', included with your lotus purchase!)
