Lotus on Maui




Lotus have to grow LOTS of roots before the grow vegetation. That's why we have found it very important to plant the lotus tubers directly in dirt at the bottom of the container and never in a standard pot. All the times we've planted the tubers in pots, they grow for about 1 month and then become pot-bound and DIE.




While your lotus are growing, you may see some brown leaves. That does NOT mean it is dying. Just let those leaves go and soon the roots will be pushing up new foliage.
