- 1). Place a small plastic bag full of sand at the bottom of your bucket.
- 2). Fill the bucket with aquatic soil mixture, available from most garden centers. Aquatic soil mixtures are heavier and keep the pot from floating.
- 3). Add one 1/4 cup of 10-10-10 fertilizer to the soil per gallon of potting soil in the pot. Mix the soil and fertilizer together.
- 4). Set a lotus rhizome on the soil, with the eyes of the rhizome facing up from the top of the bucket. Place the rhizome towards the edge of the container so it will grow horizontally along the top of the bucket.
- 5). Cover the rhizome with 1 to 2 inches of gravel.
- 6). Place the bucket in 6 inches of water until the flower starts to grow. Transfer the bucket to your pond once the flower begins to grow. Submerge the plant in no more than 18 inches of water.
