Lotus Seed Sprouted

[Skavatar]

I gathered some misc plants from a local park that has a large pond. I had picked 3 lotus seeds from a dried seed pod back in April. a few days ago I saw a round thing with stems floating amongst the other floating plants I had collected and thought one of the plants was growing a root bulb or something. today I saw the round leaf pad growing from the end of one of the stems. wow!

need advice, anyone grow lotus w/o potting it?

after some research and watching about 30 videos about growing lotus, i've decided to plant it in a separate container.
