Plant Description:

- The most important flower for Hindus. The national flower of India.
- Also very scared to the Buddists.
- This variety has large double white flowers.
- Plants have a horizontal growing rhizome. That grows either in the soil or above the soil in the water.
- The leaves float on the water surface.
- They may also arise above the surface.
- Plants require space to grow.

Growing tips:

- Lotuses and water lilies can be grown in large tubs or pools.
- It is always preferable to plant these in large pots and then put these pots into the larger water tub or pool. This is because it is easier to give fertilizer in the small pot. It is also easier to remove these small pots and clean the pool or tub.
- It is always better to buy or get new plants already planted in these inner pots. Getting plants dug out from the clay damages a lot of roots.
- For planting use only clay. Do not use any manure.
- A minimum pot size of 25 cms should be used. Bigger the better.
- There should be a minimum of 25 cms of water depth above the pot level.
- The water depth above the pot can be as much as 100 cms.
- Never apply any fertilizers directly to the water. High nitrogen in the water will cause excessive algae to grow and make the water dirty.
- Specially made tablets should be used. These should be pressed deep into the clayey soil. This enables the roots to take up the nutrition directly.
- Clean the water once every 2 to 3 months.
- It is a very good idea to add guppy fish to the water. These eat all the mosquito larve and keep the water clean.
- Two or more different varieties are not usually put in the same pool. They have different growth vigor and usually the weaker ones get somthered out. Planting far apart in large pools is fine.
- In extreme cold the plants may go into dormancy. Keep them as they are and they will sprout back in spring or summer.
