Lotus Repotting Yet?

ahhhh ... okay BV. I thought your window box was wood ...

I have my own theory on planting lotus. I don't think they need
near as much soil as is printed in books. I've experimented
and found that they jump the pots - no matter what.
The lotus pond (link is the second one below my sig) is
pretty much testimony that they do their own thing.

But how in heck will you move the 3.5 window box when it
is full of lotuses?? That will be awfully heavy - for me anyway.
I have mine planted in 14 inch round plastic dishpans that I
bought at the $$ store. Seems to work fine... and I can lift
them ;-)

Really? Just 14 inch? That's awesome. I think I have a few of those.

As for the window box, they work great. Since they are moulded plastic,
they
have a huge lip around the edge. When I want to fetch them, I flip a rake
over and hook the tines under the lip, and lift.
