How to Plant & Care for Lotus
Description
Nelumbo nucifera ‘Chongban Bayi Lian’ — bowl lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
Micro Lotus! Very small! We love this quirky little lotus!
The center of this flower glows a warm yellow while the outer edges of the petals are pink. This lotus can be grown in a very small pot or bowl. A delicate beauty! We suggest using the pot-in-pot method when growing this lotus in a pot less than 8" wide - see below. The unique rhizomes are thin but usually have multiple growth tips.
At a glance
- Flower color: Versicolor
- Flower type: Multi-petal, more than 50 petals
- Plant height: Exquisite of Bowl Lotus (Micro, Mini), 6"-12" tall
- Container: 6" and wider, 4"-8" deep
As a bowl lotus, this one settles at 2 to 12 inches of water over the crown once established — start a new tuber under 2 to 4 inches and raise the level as it pushes aerial leaves, with the growing tip left uncovered. Pot size, soil and the rest of the method are in the lotus planting instructions.
