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.
Lotuses are hardy water plants that once established can take the cold, as long as the rhizome or tuber doesnât freeze. The lotus tuber will live through the cold winters as far North as Alaska. The lotus tuber will break dormancy once it is in sun, water and temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Lotus tubers can be planted once all hard freezes are gone or in warmer climates later winter or early spring. Lotus plants will usually grow for about 4-to-6 months throughout the spring and summer months. In late summer or early fall the lotusesâ leaves will start to look as though they are sick or burning. Do not be alarmed when this occurs. This is one of the life cycles of the lotus.
