Prakisad Hardy Waterlily Planting and Care

• Container Size: Use a wide 14–16 inch fabric aquatic container, or plant directly in an earth-bottom pond.

• Depth from Soil to Water Surface: 6–24 inches for best flowering performance.

• Soil: Heavy loam soil (from your yard) or PondGro Aquatic Planting Medium. Avoid bagged compost or potting mixes.

• Sunlight Needs: At least 6+ hours of strong midday sun for heavy blooming.

• Fertilizer Schedule: Insert 3–4 Waterlily World Fertilizer Tabs around the crown of the rhizome on the 1st and 15th of each month, April through September.

Maintenance Tip: Divide the rhizomes every 1–2 years to prevent overcrowding and maintain peak blooming performance.

Do’s and Don’ts for Prakisad Hardy Waterlily

✅ Do:

• Plant in a large, shallow pot with plenty of room for rhizomes to spread.

• Keep the crown exposed just above the soil line when planting.

• Fertilize consistently throughout the growing season for maximum flowering.

• Place in full sun with open water surface around it.

❌ Don’t:

• Do not let your hardy water lily dry out on arrival. Stems, crowns, and roots must stay wet and be planted immediately.

• Do not overcrowd. Water lilies need space—both the crown in soil and the pads on the surface must have access to sunlight. Floating plants or other lilies blocking the surface will suppress growth and flowering.

• Do not plant in stones or pea gravel; this suffocates the rhizome.

• Do not use bagged compost or soil mixes, which will float and rot.
