[Ponds-Koi] Lotus and Salt and Golden Orfe
Hi Lenny,
Thanks for the reference. However, I was more interested in the plant surviving with 1% salt level rather than special treatment. I read on one site that Lotus don’t like any salt in the water. I would love to have one, but they are expensive and I don’t want to invest if it won’t survive.
