| Sorry that I won't answer your question, but what's your secret to grow them so big? Mine are about one and half months old but still very little. Maybe the pot is too little? The small roots are coming out of it. And I see the pink root. Very beautiful but what's with the leaves. I sent you some pictures of them to your email, there you can see. Okay, you have VERY VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL AND GORGEOUS LOTUSES!! I'm happy for you |

| No secrets:) this one i actually just took out of a one gallon milk jug of a couple inches of plain garden soil and no fertilizer the day before to put it in this container. Just lucky i guess. My first batch however have issues and they are in special mixed soil and fertilizer. In my case seems like keepin it simple worked better. |

| Hi. I believe it is a leaf. My second year lotus has been changing and growing and sometimes the leaf actually has a "sheath" around it. By the looks of the photo, id say yes its a leaf. My leaves are doing some strange different things also. I keep waiting for my bloom. So far the "sheaths" have turned out to be larger leaves. Sometimes the sheathes just appear as a pointy thing then the leaf grows out of that . |
