My lotus root rotted, so I unearthed it and am considering trying some seeds a friend gave me. Tomatoes are on the way, and the greens are wonderful, the New Zealand spinach especially good. And the flower garden is bursting with colour, especially the hydrangeas...
Sorry to hear that the lotus root rotted. That's bad luck. Maybe the growing tip got damaged in the move. Would the seller give you another one?
Seeds are a good idea too. Your aquarium setup would be ideal for starting them (but in a jar floating in the tank, not in the tank water). Heat and light work wonders. I have found the critical time is 9-15 months. A healthy seedling sometimes up and dies for no apparent reason although I have succeeded with several too.
