Pot-in-PotMethod for Micro Lotus

EXQUISITE OF BOWL LOTUS (MICRO LOTUS)Lotus cultivars developed to grow and flourish in very small pots (4-12 wide, 8 or less deep). These hybrids usually stay less than 13 tall.

We recommend growing these varieties using thepot-in-potmethod.

Choose two pots:

Pot A small display pot. This is the smallest of the two pots and should measure at least 4 smaller in diameter and 2 less in height than Pot B. The lotus tuber is planted in Pot A. This pretty pot can be removed from Pot B for display when lotus is blooming.

Pot B– largeroutsidegrowing pot, not for display. Pot A should be able to sit in Pot B with about at least a 2 margin on all sides and at top.

1) Fill Pot A (display pot) full of topsoil.
2) Fill to top with water and plant tuber in Pot A.
3) Place Pot A in Pot B.
4) Slowly fill Pot B with water, making sure that there is at least 1 of water above the top rim of Pot A, the display pot with planted tuber.
5) Place in direct sun. Keep water level higher than top rim of Pot A.
