Plant Requirements (quick reference)

• Type: Annual water lily

• Sun: Full sun, 6+ hours of strong midday light

• Container: 5–10 gallon wide aquatic pot (fabric pots preferred)

• Depth (soil surface → water surface): 8–18 inches for best blooming

• Spread: ~5–8 ft across in good conditions

• Soil: Heavy loam topsoil only (no bagged mix, peat, compost, “aquatic media,” or gravel)

Care & Fertilizing (simple schedule)

• Fertilizer tablets: 6–8 tablets on the 1st & 15th each month (May–September)

• Application: Push tablets 3–4" into the soil around (not on) the crown

• Maintenance: Remove spent blooms and yellow leaves to keep growth vigorous and flowering steady

Water Lily Planting Tips

• Plant shallower (8–12") to warm the crown and increase bud production

• Use a wide pot—high petal count lilies bloom best when not cramped

• Keep surface water open—shade from floaters reduces blooms fast

• Still water shows flowers best; avoid splashing/aeration directly over pads

Do’s & Don’ts

Do

• Plant in full sun and heavy loam

• Use a large pot for strong growth and repeated blooming

• Fertilize twice monthly for continuous flowers

• Repot immediately on arrival; keep all parts wet while planting

Don’t

• ❌ Don’t use compost/peat mixes, “aquatic media,” or gravel/stones

• ❌ Don’t let floating plants shade the pads

• ❌ Don’t underfeed—this is a high-petal-count lily that needs steady nutrition
