Micro Lotus August 2019
Here is an update on our Micro Lotus August 2019 at Bergen Water Gardens: Our pots have been outside since early July. Overall the micro lotus are growing well, with the heat and humidity of our summer. From our experience it seems to take longer for a micro lotus bud to open compared to a full sized lotus.

Micro Lotus Exhibit
Micro Lotus exhibit combines imagination and artistry Micro Lotus are the smallest of all the Chinese lotus to grow. Their pots are often just six inches in diameter and sometimes smaller. Due to their petite size, the plants tend to be more delicate and challenging to grow. In China, the small plants are submerged in a larger pot filled with water. This helps to insure the micro lotus has ample water, it prevents overheating and limits damage by strong winds. The micro lotus is removed from … [Read more...] about Micro Lotus Exhibit
