Planting Lotus tips

[The PondFather]

I purchased a bare root lotus and here's some tips I learned while planting it in a container. I have too many pics to post so here's a link to the short article: http://www.aquascapeinc.com/blogs/gary-wittstock/planting-a-bare-root-lotus

Thanks for the tips! I look forward to seeing some pictures of your pond. I hope you don't find a gator in there one morning! Can't be good for the liner with those sharp claws! LOL!

I want to buy lotus seeds to try this year as well. I live on an island and can not import bulbs/roots without a permit, so I have to start everything by seeds.

We'll rock in the pond so any gator visits shouldn't damage the liner but I'm sure the plants would be damaged! Island life sure sounds neat but some challenges there too. Good luck with your seeds!
