With all the lotus talk I thought I would give an update on mine.
I won't bother to post a pic as it looks the same as the one that I posted above
.
I have not seen any improvement at all. Our weather here has been some on the cool side but not that bad. I really think that I did something wrong but not exactly sure what other then a couple of swear words here and there. I followed Joyce's instructions to a "T" but I have a feeling I may has screwed up on the water level part or maybe my containers aren't deep enough meaning not enough water above the soil line? The other thing is that I had/have lots of dark green water in the container and wondered if the sun wasn't getting to the tuber?? I tried floading the container a couple of times to see if that would help. I'm grasping at straws here.
I have about 4 inches of container above the soil line and kept it filled close to the top as you can see in the pic above. I also have a Momo Batan that I am killing too while I'm at it :'( The lotus tubers that Tink gave me is in full sun with no shade at all. The Momo Batan probably gets 6 hours of sun.
So at this point I'm waiting, waiting, waiting....
