We have had some freaky weather this winter including several weeks of 80 degree weather along with a hard freeze and some near freezes. I have a lotus in a tub on the patio and it is already putting up leaves. They are small, mostly 2" floaters at this point but I see the first above the water leaf today. Normally once the leaves start standing out of the water is when I start fertilizing but I think it is too early this year. Do I chance fertilizing and pushing growth while we could still have cold weather or should I wait a few weeks? Any thoughts?
Minds are like parachutes; they work better when they are open.
