How to Grow Mini Lotus in Container Successfully

I bought the lotus roots from an online store called Pond Lotus. They are available to buy in early spring. You can check back in March or April and put in your order so they can ship them out in May. The wait is worth it.

Other than the algae and mosquito larvae control, what are the day to day requirements to keep your plant healthy and growing?

Thanks! How often do you change water in between stages?

You most certainly can grow the seeds from the seed pod. There is a lotus native to America and the seed pods are sold for arts and crats. People sometimes grow the seeds if there are any in those seed pods.

Do you have to change the water, otherwise how do the fish and snail survive? What water do you use

Can I use top soil and sand? What nutrients do they need to fertilize? I have seeds I scratched, soaked, they are 3 days in soe. How long will it take to see flowers?

How do gold fish live without air bubble ? Or do lotus give out some

Where did you get or do I find the large container that it’s in? (Not the smaller pot)

I want.
To grow my Lotus seeds once they are tall enough n. A dirt solution in the bottom of a water bottle and I will have 10 or 12 bottled water bottles with dirt in the bottom. And water and one seed to a bottle. And then I will put them inside. My container my bowl and fill it with some water. This way, the mud and dirt stay inside the bottle and not inside the planter itself.
Do the roots really need a lot of room? This is.
A small variety. I am starting from seed. They're already about 3 inches tall and tomorrow. I imagine they will be above the water level. So I've been cutting down my bottles and making them about 5 inches tall. And then I will put about 4 inches of dirt in there and one seed to the dirt and then fill that with water. And put them all in this one pretty bowl that I can sit on the table. I'm going to be interested to know how you put these in your garage and winter them there. I do that with my amarillos and other plants that cannot take the freeze. I live in Utah in northern we do get cold winters.
But I'm hoping that I will. Get.
My 2 wheelers, at least to some stage where they'll whether the winter for next summer since I didn't get my seeds.Until a few days any help you can give me.I'd appreciate it.Thank you, and your video was excellent.Tie enjoyed that
