Hi guys,
I need some help with my lotus. It is planted in the pond in a large plastic container that I originally put a few inches of dirt in when I planted it.
It has grown and now because it's so top heavy it is constantly getting blown over in the pond.
So my question is, can I pull it, add rocks and more dirt and replant it now or do you have any other suggestions?

Possibly. It doesn't seem to harm the lotus to be laid sideways in the water. I might be able to tie the rim of the container to the side of the pond for now.
When it goes dormant, should I be able to pull it, add rocks and dirt and drop it back in?

And maybe look for a larger container in the meantime.

May I ask a question, should I leave water plants in pond until weather gets cold or do I need to take them out? Not sure if it helps the fish feed on. I would appreciate advice.
What kind of plants. I leave all of mine in the pond, any leaves stems that die off I cut off to reduce debris load in the pond. Like lilies. But leave the plant there.
