💡 Do’s & ❌ Don’ts for Sunny Pink Hardy Water Lily

Do’s

✅ Plant in a 20-inch or larger container if not planting directly into an earth-bottom pond
✅ Use heavy loam soil for strong root anchoring and healthy growth
✅ Fertilize twice monthly during the blooming season for continuous flowers
✅ Ensure 6+ hours of full sun daily for maximum flowering
✅ Divide rhizomes every 1–2 years to prevent overcrowding and keep blooms abundant

Don’ts

❌ Do not allow the rhizome to be buried under gravel or stones — it suffocates the crown
❌ Do not use compost-based or bagged soils that float or rot underwater
❌ Do not plant too deep (over 30 inches) if you want consistent flowers
❌ Do not delay planting upon arrival — water lilies dry out quickly and must be repotted immediately
❌ Do not overcrowd with other lilies or floating plants; Sunny Pink Hardy Water Lily needs ample surface exposure and sunlight to keep blooming
