I would love to have a deep pond to not have to deal with this.. but this works good for me every time :) I'll need to see if this would work with the tropical water lilies. Those are stunning!

Fantastic idea to over winter them. I don't have any myself but would probably use your method if I did.

Your lucky you have a pond that you can overwinter your lilies in :) i'm a little jealous :) as for Tropical water lilies..I'm not sure if they go dormant. you might need to over winter them in an aquarium if you bring them inside. I know that in my area they always consider the tropical lilies annuals. they don't even suggest trying to overwinter them.

the soil is a heavy muck soil.. very icky stuff...lol.. i bought some "pond plant soil" it reminded me of terra cotta bits. i tried some seedling lotus in it and they died soon after. not sure it it was the media or me. i think the lotus grow better in muck.

Hey Bill, I'm in up-state NY. The water in my pond is only 15" deep so,, Iv'e decided To bring it in for the winter. I have a garage that stay's heated at about 55 deg. Is that warm enough.? As far as fertilizing goes, I have some Miracle grow, I use the smaller part of the scooper and put it in some newspaper and stick it in the soil away from the roots,, did great.! Every 3- 3 1/2 wks. I fed it. Mine was a late bloomer, but it bloomed and was gorgeous.! Please let me know what temp. is best, Thanks. Think spring.. ; )

All the garden centesr in Nebraska sell fertilizer tabs for water Lilies. I have goldfish and they put some fertilizer in the water but not enough. I only got 3 blooms this year in my water lily. Next year I'll fertilize..

That is a cool idea Bill for people who do not have a pond, I will try growing water lotus for my wife she would love it. What medium do you have the lotus growing in. my mind went to using a turface type medium to be lighter and cleaner

I never expected that Nelumbo rhizomes could be stored like that in winter. I'd expect fungal problems and rot because of the lack of air circulation and the decay of the organic matter, but it seems to do well for the guy in the video.. I shall try this with my Nelumbo plants this winter in about six months.

Yamil rey you should check on them from time to time while they are dormant. checking water levels and if there is any growth. as long as the temps are low they will have no problem staying dormant

I don't have lotus would love to have one, but I have many water lilies they are hardy and just keep them in the pond the deepest side must be 80 or 90 cms. But this will be my first time with tropical water lilies and I think would be better to bring them inside home with water.

I have a couple of water lilies and one lotus plant. I was thinking to reduce the water and put them in the shed where it is very dark even during day time. Do you think that it will work without putting in a garbage bag? Thank you for the video

Its hard to say... it might work... sheds aren't necessarily a good choice depending on your climate... they might get really hot through the day.. and then very cold at night... those temp swings could be a bad thing for dormant plants.

How often do you divide that lotus?
@PlantzNThings

So far i have ever divided a lotus. I'm sure that if it was grown in a pot under good conditions it could be divided once a year in the spring.. Mine however either has not been getting enough light or food. So it has never outgrown its space.

I just planted my lotus today. Since you don't have a pond, I will recommend you put lotus in a black barrel. Lotus likes heat and light. A black barrel will absorb heat better than the one you had. As far as the fertilizer, you can order it online. My friends and I don't have any preference in which brand works better.
