The
Lotus - Oriental Symbolism - Interesting Facts
There are eight Buddhist symbols and the
lotus is the 8th symbol. The lotus symbolizes faithfulness.
Different parts of the lotus represent
different elements but to briefly explain: The Lotus means
love, good health, long life, honor, divinity, and
fertility.
Lotus are started in the house in early to mid-January
to insure that they bloom the first year.

Sample of tuber sizes
Lotus tubers can vary in size and shape.
In fact NO two are alike. Some will be long and thin, some
short and fat. The above photos are representative of
what your tuber may look like. The size depends on many
factors: the variety (dwarf or medium or large growing).
One thing is for certain a viable tuber must contain a node
and internodes. Many do not know how to divide lotus
and if they do not include a node and internodes the tuber
is doomed right from the start. When we cut the tubers
we make sure that there is at least 2 growing tips.
There could however be more than 2.
