A perfect option for both seasoned gardeners and beginners alike!

Izia Hardy Water Lily Proper Planting and Care

• Container Size: Use a 14–16 inch wide fabric grow pot or larger for best results. Wider pots encourage more rhizome growth and abundant flowering.

• Soil: Plant in heavy loam topsoil only. Avoid bagged composts or mixes with peat, which float and rot in water.

• Planting Depth: Place the crown so the soil-to-water surface depth is 6–18 inches. Start shallower (6–10 inches) for establishing young plants, then move deeper if desired.

• Sunlight Needs: Izia Hardy Water Lily requires 6+ hours of full, direct sun daily. More sunlight equals more blooms.

• Spacing: Provide at least 2–3 feet of surface spread for pads. Do not allow floating plants or nearby lilies to crowd it out.

Izia Hardy Water Lily Fertilizing Schedule

• Fertilize on the 1st and 15th of each month throughout the growing season (April–September).

• Use 3–4 Waterlily World Fertilizer Tablets, pressing them 3–4 inches into the soil near the rhizome’s growing point.

• Consistent fertilization ensures daily blooms and vibrant, healthy foliage.

Do’s and Don’ts for Izia Hardy Water Lily

✅ Do plant in full sun and a wide, shallow container with loam soil.
✅ Do fertilize consistently twice monthly during the growing season.
✅ Do divide and repot every 1–2 years to prevent rhizome overcrowding.

❌ Don’t let the rhizome dry out on arrival—pot immediately and submerge.
❌ Don’t use bagged potting soil, compost, gravel, or rocks. These hinder growth and can kill lilies.
❌ Don’t let other plants, such as floating hyacinths or crowding lilies, block sunlight. Each pad must reach the surface for blooms to continue.
