Florida palm trees often have a magnesium deficiency, just like lotus do. When this mobile nutrient moves from the older fronds to the new ones, it is much more obvious than in lotus leaves. • The results are the same -- yellowing leaves with a green central area.

If you are patient when planting tubers, they will reward you with stronger and healthier growth.

Lotus tubers are fussy when getting started in the spring. They like a steady, even supply of light and warmth. Lotus also like stability for new roots to form, so they will be ready to find food when the tuber supply ends. • Tubers DO NOT like big changes in temperatures or being moved around too much.
