This is how I like to plant my lotus: 1  Put a couple inches of sand in the bottom of your pot. 2  Add a couple inches of top soil. 3  The depth depends on the size of your pot. 4  Do not use potting soil. 5  The light weight potting soil will float out of your container. 6  The best is soil with clay in it.
For each lotus tuber, you will need a round planting tub about 18 inches in diameter and at least 9 inches deep. One 3 feet in diameter and 1 foot deep is even better. When you receive your lotus tuber, you will probably notice one or more buds, or growing tips. These are delicate, so be careful not to break them.
