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.
But hybridizers have wrung vast variety from the genes of these two, so lotuses can range in height from less than 2 feet to more than 8 feet. Lotus flowers are fragrant and can be as big as a basketball. Most bloom for only three days, many of them changing color each day. These are flowers for early birds. The first day, they open before dawn and close again by the time most of us are at work.
