Lotus Care Overview
Growing lotus is remarkably easy. If you have the right supplies and you plant in the right conditions, by mid-summer you should have a pot brimming with leaves and buds.
Before your order arrives, you will need to pick out a pot and have the right type of soil on hand. Find a good place to put it, somewhere sunny and warm. When you get your rhizomes, follow our instructions for unpacking and either immediately planting or appropriately storing them. Make sure outdoor temperatures are at least 50F at night, then, follow our step by step planting guide. Once your plant is mature enough, you will begin to feed it and watch its rapid growth.
This guide will acquaint you with the basics of lotus care, through the process of receiving your rhizome and getting it into the ground.
