Lotus bulb question
Hello
I just got one of those red-leaved lotus plants (Nymphaea something). The plant is attached to a bulb. What is the correct way to plant it? More precisely, where should I place the bulb: on the gravel surface, half-buried, buried just under the surface, deep-buried? -- Best regards, Andrey Tarasevich

Lotus bulb question
I ordered the Green variety...
When I received my order, I actually received a huge bulb that had 4 leaves sticking out. I saw roots coming out of the top of the bulb, so I pulled the plant out. I then took and planted the Lotus into the gravel. I also planted the bulb in the gravel (just so about 1/2" of the bulb could be seen. The Lotus is doing fine and the bulb has sprouted again! -- Craig Brye University of Phoenix Online "Andrey Tarasevich" wrote in message ...

Interesting. That's, BTW, another question I wanted to ask about whether it is safe to detach a young lotus plant from its bulb (assuming that the plant already has its own roots). The Lotus is doing fine and the bulb has sprouted again! Does this new sprout come from the same spot on the bulb or from a different spot? -- Best regards, Andrey Tarasevich

The new one came from the same spot on the bulb I had.
