Earlier this year, I divided and transplanted a portion of Frankly Scarlet lotus into a real lotus tub. The top circumference was about the same as the old pot I had used but the base was quite a bigger. I think the lotus appreciated the extra room because I have one flower in bloom and 3 other buds in the wings. This year has not been as warm as last year so I was worried that I wouldn't get blooms but so far it is doing better than my water lilies.
