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.
Tropical water lilies prefer to grow at water depths of 12 inches but will tolerate 6-8 inches of water. Lotus is usually grown with 4-6 inches of water over them while emergent water plants can be grown in soil that is constantly wet or with 2-4 inches of water over the top of them. In order to conveniently adjust the water depth over the pots, bricks or inverted pots can be used as props under the plants to position them.
