Hello everyone!
Iam new here in atp
I lives in indonesia
Just found out this site with full of happy lotus lover which same like me ^^

I plant my lotus (nelumbo nucifera sp.) a month ago and start it with transplant original plant and only receive 2 hours full sunlight (bad news) and not full light around 6 hours but the weather is quite warm n hot everyday here around 25 - 27 celcius
My claypot diameter is 2 feet with soil depth 8 inch and water level 4 inch.
I give pellet fertilizer once in a 3weeks
It grows well with several big aerial leaves and only 3 small floating leaves.

How do u think guys?
From the appearance and conditions when i should have the first bloom?

Cheers, i loves all of your lotus photos here ^^

The second photo of lotus i bought from local nurseries a week ago i think its dwarf species lotus.
