The best time to plant water lilies is in late spring or early summer, once the risk of frost has passed and water temperatures are rising.
The ideal depth varies by variety. Generally, for a compact variety, aim for 15-30cm of water over the crown of the plant. Always check the specific requirements for each lily.
Yes, the kit includes a 46cm Caesar Bowl, which is suitable for growing these water lilies as a standalone feature or on a patio, provided the container is deep enough and kept consistently moist/submerged.
These varieties are described as having a neat and compact habit, making them manageable. However, all water lilies will spread over time. Repotting or thinning may be necessary every few years.
Yes, aquatic plant fertilizer is recommended during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms. Use specialized aquatic plant food.
These are hardy varieties and will survive outdoors in a pond year-round. The foliage may die back in colder months, but the rhizomes will remain dormant and regrow in spring.
Images shown are for guidance only and depict the expected results of plants upon maturity. Actual appearance can vary based on growing conditions and seasonality.
Ensure the plant is receiving adequate sunlight (at least 4-6 hours daily) and is being fertilized during the growing season. Check that the water depth is correct for the variety.
This can be normal for older leaves or if the plant is adjusting. Remove dead foliage promptly. Ensure the water is clean and free from excessive debris. Check for pest infestations.
Ensure the aquatic basket is fully submerged and the gravel topping is secure. If the basket is damaged, consider repotting into a more robust aquatic planter.
While water lilies help shade the pond and reduce algae, excessive algae can indicate nutrient imbalances. Ensure you are not overfeeding fish or using excessive fertilizer. Increase water circulation if possible.
