How to Plant & Care for Lotus
Description
Nelumbo nucifera ‘Xiamen Wanlian’ — bowl lotus, shipped as a dormant lotus tuber.
Also called 'Rice Paper'. A beautiful lotus with glossy green leaves and stunning flowers. Its smaller size makes Xiamen Bowl the perfect selection for growing in a tiny pot on your patio. This one is a bit hard to grow so we'll make sure you get strong tubers!
At a glance
- Flower color: White
- Flower type: Single or Few Petals, less than 20 petals
- Plant height: Micro/Bowl, up 13" tall
- Container: 10" and wider, 4"-10" 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.
