Hi all
just wondering if anyone has had problems growing lotus plants in aquasoil?
Every time mine slowly start losing leaves over about 6 weeks. And the roots turn black and rot away.
It happened with 3 different types of lotus. While all the other plants are growing perfect!! Ada as is great!
I tried adding some limestone chips into the substrate to add some kh/gh. Thinking the roots need a higher ph and minerals that the new as strips from the water. But this had no effect.
Next I thought maybe the as was to rich in organics as I have always been able to grow lotus plants In plain gravel fine.
Lastly I got some soil from the garden and planted what was left of each lotus plant in pots and they all grew back with in weeks and are going great!
This garden soil is out of a veggie patch and seems richer in organics than the aquasoil.
So I guess I'm asking how your lotus plants are growing in Ada as and why mine hate it?
Thanks for any ideas.
