Plant Description

Friendship Of Student And Supervisor Lotus is an early bloomer with elegant, single-petal flowers that look as though they have been hand painted by an artist! The delicate colors and striping on the petals as well as the rich pink saturation of color over the petal tips give this lotus bloom an ethereal look. The inner petals have been flecked with green and curl up slightly adding dimension to the lotus flower. Growing strikingly tall at four feet or taller, this is an excellent variety for large container gardens or in your pond. Flowers are single-petal and this is classified as a 'Versicolor' lotus. Flowers on Friendship Of Supervisor And Student Lotus are HUGE! 

How To Plant Your Lotus

This is a large/tall lotus that will do extremely well in very wide containers (24 - 48 inches wide or wider), or in your pond! Fill your container 2/3 full with loam soil. Dig a trench in the soil and place your lotus tuber in the trench. Add 4 - 6 inches of water above the soil and place your lotus in full sun, where it will receive 8 - 12 hours of sunlight daily. Do not fertilize your lotus until you have standing leaves growing out of the water. 

How And When To Fertilize Your Lotus

Once you have standing leaves growing out of the water, it is time to fertilize your lotus. The first dose should be 1/2 the recommended dosage. After the initial dose of fertilizer, fertilize your lotus every three weeks throughout the growing/blooming season, June through September. Early September should be your last fertilizer application. This will allow your lotus to go into dormancy naturally.

Lotus are very heavy feeders. We recommend Waterlily World Fertilizer Tabs for optimum growth, best bloom and ease of use. Simply press the tabs into the soil around the roots of your lotus plant, taking care not to damage the roots.

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 potting soils ( as they are too light and will float right out of the pot). Potting Soil has organic material that will rot and foul your water!

DO NOT add too much composted material (as it is too rich in organic matter and it will ferment underwater 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 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!

Bog Plants (Wetland Plants) prefer poor, acidic soil.

The texture of loam soil will retain nutrients and water as well as bind to the nutrients in your fertilizer, where they can deliver these nutrients to your plants. The Pool Filter Sand will allow some drainage and aeration Once you have created loam soil for your pond plants, you are ready to plant waterlilies, lotus and marginal plants in your water garden or pond. Enjoy!

Love this sunscreen
Size: 2.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I really love this sunscreen for my face and décolleté because it give the protection I want without the heavy greasy feel of sunscreen. Plus, it's perfect size to drop in my bag and no weigh me down. The bottle has never leaked. I really really like the non aerosol spray-even if it means that I have to spread it around a little, it's worth it for environmental reasons and honestly, it really didn't mess up my makeup at all when I patted it in gently. I didn't get blemishes from it at all. It doesn't have the full Hawaiian Tropic scent that we all know and love but it is very lightly scented and it is pleasant, still very tropical but more light and airy scented-not quite the same as the main line.

Very convenient
Size: 2.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
A great size to carry in your purse or car. My only complaint is it doesn’t make a nice mist so I have to rub it in, or spray it on my hands and pat it on. Smells good and works great.

My favorite facial sunscreen
Size: 2.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this sunscreen mist for the face. I have tried many facial sunscreens to protect against the Arizona sun and this is by far the best. So many sunscreens have a heavy feel, make my face sweat more, and end up clogging my pores. This sunscreen has a light, pleasant smell and is a lightweight spray. You spray it into your hand and smooth it on your face and neck. It feels hydrating without any heavy or greasy feel, and you can use foundation over it if you wish. It has done a great job protecting my skin, and just as important for me, it does not clog my pores and cause complexion issues. I have pretty sensitive facial skin and this has not caused any irritation at all. It is definitely worth trying and then buying again when you love it.

Not great
Size: 2.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I wish I could give 3 1/2 starts but I have to give it 3 stars for two reasons. 1 is it is not a fine mist, it will leave your face looking crazy after you spray it. You end up having to pay it into your skin because there’s white splotches all over your face. So if you were to apply this with no mirror it would be a problem. Also I feel like it semi defeats the point of using a face spray if you have to use your hands to finish applying it. 2 is that for me it makes my skin feel hot and kinda burn around my mouth area. I think there might be too much fragrance or something. It does go away after awhile but it is not pleasant and I can’t imagine it is good for me.
