The weather is warm tonight no danger of frost. I have the tubers floating in a container and tomorrow I'll pot some up.

I use the plastic marker to identify them while they float. If I divide a different lotus, and have it in another tub the markers help keep them identified.

I can keep the lotus floating for awhile; however, if a freeze is predicted I can move them into the garage to keep them from being destroyed by a freeze. The average last frost date is April 15th where I am.
