I have kept planted tropical aquariums for decades so am hoping that experience will feed through into the lotus pot. Lotuses in aquascaped tanks are glorious things, I have even managed to flower a couple of those, but they are very different from the sacred lotus I have been tempted by for a long time. I remember a dear friend from TM days who told me not to do it, lol, based on her commercial water garden owning days. She said the 'bloody things grew like weeds'! I suspect though mine in the two nice big chinese style pots on my north facing deck won't prove to be a serious threat to my equilibrium. And they will help me fight off my growing temptation to start another aquarium!
