Default my lotus is rotted........

welll, after several weeks of teen leaves , I found one floating off on its
own, with part of the tuber attached!!!!

luckily, It was Just the 30 day replacement guarantee last day!!!

I have to take the thing back tomorrow,,,,,,,,, but was given the 3rd
degree,,, "did" you pull on IT" " how deep was IT" ,when I said about 4
inches,, he said,, well IT must no be lower than 2 inches . or will not have
strength to send roots.......

*sigh*
any comments?? what did I do wrong??? IT was planted in round container,,
with rock over tuber,,, growing end exposed.

YOU didn't do one thing wrong!! This twerp is just being
obnoxious. Talk back to him... !! Tell him you want a
NEW Lotus! The very idea ... expecting a new customer
to know all these things ahead of time.... He just wants
to intimidate you. That is no way to treat a customer.
Give him my email.... I'll set him straight.

anyway. I got a new tuber Toda .
when I returned the rotted one, he looked at IT & asked where The rest of it
was... hmmm That was ALL I had IN he pot!!! he said the Tuber itself was
missing, I only had he runner part. well 'hellifiknow'.
sooooooo I got This LONG thing with many fuzzy root sections, & IT had 2
Arial leaves(although bent a lot from being in Their planters),,,, i
planted it in the same pot,, but left it out of The pond, for a while , To
see if it Takes. hard Thing to plant, Though.... crooked devil,, with
runners,, way higher Than he growing 'Tip'. hope it does ok,,, I seT rocks
on highest parts.

funny , Thing, also,,, THEIR OWN book, which I just bought Toda, says set
the newly planted Tuber 4-6 in down.....
