Soory I have been sick :( 2 infected ears, chest, head, LOL I wanted to let you know, the lotus goes down into your pond just below where your water freezes! I drop mine down 14 ft, don't know why? Maybe cause I send them down and hope the Koi don't go investigate! I talked to the fella I purchased my lotus from and he said that I should be adding more pond tabs every month! Not just the one or two, but as many as 6.....Yes, 6 of em!! He said they are most heavy feeders and we here in zone 5/6 only have a limited time left so see a bloom! Well, I just did put in about 4 pond tabs and will just wait to see if I even get a bud?? I am still feeding the baby fish I got out of the pond, the freeze dried shrimp, and AM WAITING ON TIPPE TOES, so see SOMETHING that resembles a Koi, LOLOLOL
