I use regular garden soil that has not been exposed to chemicals. Some common garden chemicals can be toxic to fish.

I have used topsoil from a bag; however, make sure you don't get a bag that has the little white dots in it. DO NOT use potting soil it is too light and will just float away and make a mess as well as clogging up the filter on a pump.

I place my lotus tuber(s) with the first growing tip(s) in the center of the container. (Someone taught me to do this, and everything else I read says the same).
