Here is my Mrs. PD Slocum lotus, which I received as a replacement for one I'd purchased that quickly succumbed to some unknown problem. Just curious if you think it's looking okay, or might need a bigger home, more sun ... This is my first (take-two) attempt at growing lotus, so any tips, suggestions, recommendations, etc. are appreciated! It sits on the edge of a bed that surrounds my other ponds, and faces the sun exposure. It probably gets 5 hours of direct sun throughout the day, after which it's somewhat dappled by it's neighboring elephant ears and a manihot grahhami. But the brown edging of some of the leaves is concerning to me. Maybe that's normal though ... I don't know. Thoughts?
