I came up with this idea and it has worked pretty well for me. A friend was throwing out some cheap PLASTIC window blinds. I would not use metal in a water garden setting because I'd be afraid the fish might hurt themselves when spawning.

Anyway, I pulled out the individual slats and I would write the info I wanted about the lotus very heavy in permanent marker. I used the 'Sharpie' brand of marker. I lay the slat across the bottom of the pot I'm using. I then add soil and plant and add water. Then I slowly add the pot to the pond.
