Description

Phoenix Feather Lotus > Open Early by HandPhoenix Feather reminds us of Charming Lips because of the ball shaped bunch of petals in the center. The color is extraordinary! We did not see the problem of the center petals turning brown on this variety so it is definitely a keeper for us!! The compact medium size will command its place in your garden while not overpowering other plants. Super good bloomer, too! Phoenix Feather is one of the few lotus that will open almost perfectly by hand.

Planting instructions

Plant in large sized, wide, shallow container using heavy loam soil while keeping the growth tips exposed. 
Add an inch or two of water above the soil and place in full sun. Always replace water that has evaporated. 
Soon coin leaves will appear on the surface of the water. 
DO NOT fertilize until you have aerial leaves growing out of the water. Keep two to three inches of water above an established plant. 

Fertilize on the 1st and 15th of every month during growing season. We recommend and sell WaterlilyWorld Fertilizer for best bloom and optimum growth! Get robust plants and the best blooms!  June through September. 

Increase blooms by using fish, safe, aquatic fertilizer after aerial leaves have formed on your lotus plants.

What Is Loam Soil?

Loam soil is a good mixture of Topsoil and Sand

If you are lucky enough to have good topsoil in your backyard, by all means, use your topsoil. All you will have to do is add fertilizer. If you are not so lucky--and your backyard is sand or heavy red or yellow clay, you can mix up a batch of loam soil.

 You can create your own loam soil by mixing these two ingredients together

  • 2/3  Inorganic Topsoil (Little or no organic material added)
  • 1/3  Pool Filter Sand

 Mix together thoroughly with a little water. Your soil should clump when squeezed. If your soil is mixed properly, it will not muddy your pond water.

You can purchase inexpensive bags of inexpensive / poor Topsoil at Lowes or Home-Depot. Good soil clumps together as a ball in your hand with only a little moisture. 

Don't buy brands like Scott's or Miracle-Gro, as they will contain too much organic matter that can foul your water. Buy an unbranded bag of topsoil instead.

You can purchase Pool Filter Sand at any store that sells pool supplies.

Loam soil is well suited for all aquatic plants (except oxygenators). Oxygenators rarely need to be planted, just anchored in the substrate or in a container filled with sand or 1/8  inch pea gravel.

Sand holds little water but does allow for aeration and drainage.

Some DO's and DON'TS regarding Aquatic Planting Soil  

DO NOT use regular potting soils, they are too light and will float right out of the pot. Potting Soil may have too much organic material that can rot and spoil your water!

DO NOT add too much composted material - it can be too rich in organic matter and it could ferment under water and destroy the ecology of your pond.

DO NOT use 100% calcined clay as there is no nutritional value in calcined clay.

DO NOT add large rocks, stones or pebbles to the top of your planting container as this will inhibit the growth of your plants. Plants do not grow in rocks and stones in nature!

DO NOT purchase API Aquatic Planting Media or Microbe-lift Aquatic Planting Media as these products are NOT suitable for waterlilies, lotus or most other pond plants. They are suitable for submerged grasses ONLY!

Heavy duty for sure
Color: Purple
Heavy duty toy. This ball has some weight to it! I have a smaller laber doodle that thinks she's a German Shepard so no toy is too big or heavy for her. She's been chewing on this for months but you'd never know it. The squeaker is even hard for me to activate with my hands. She hits it in the right spot every now and again and gets excited about it. Great if your not crazy about hearing a squeaker squeaking non stop!

All dog sizes can enjoy this ball!
Color: Orange
This is a terrific dog ball! Our Pittie can't tear it apart on day 2 which is unusual! Also, its big enough that he can't swallow it but not so huge that our mini Doodle can't enjoy it too! We have more than one of these to keep our pups busy!

Finally, a ball that made it!
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
I don’t know what is it with this ball, but it’s special. My dogs can absolutely tear up anything and this one seems like it can be chewed up but my dog loves it too much. He carries it all day, nibbles it and loves the squeaky sound of course. Finally found a winner!
