the red varieties are very fert hungry, i find. the green ones do ok without much base fert for me. to stay low, they need maximum light.

The red "lotus" really take minimum effort to keep it red. If things are not to its liking, it just grow slowly but it will still be red.
as to making it stay low, sufficient light helps. but i find that sooner or later, it will want to grow bigger and taller towards the light and put up floating leaves.
It is fast growing if it is fertilized heavily. but, will do ok even if you don't give it special attention.
the 'redness'... how to make the color deeper... i heard by inserting some fert containing iron... will that help?[]

Lotus? you want to make soup huh? The "lotus" that we use in planted tanks are not really lotus, but actually Lily. True lotus stick the entire leaf out of the water. Lily at most produce floating leafs.
