Hey Johnny, I used to keep the lotus in Thai Dragon pots (water retaining pot with an embossed dragon on its side) which are 2.5 ft in diameter and 1.5ft deep. They were kept in the open and they did alright. For mosquito larvae control, a couple of guppies will do. Any soil will do as they root very well. I used the old leaves as fert which is very effective. I had no success in the shade at all.
