White Mallika Hardy Waterlily – A New Double-Petaled Beauty

White Mallika Hardy Waterlily is a stunning, medium-sized perennial variety with elegant, double-petaled white blooms that look soft and full against dark-green pads. Each flower measures 4–6 inches across, with fluffy petals that make them exceptional both for enjoying in the pond and for cutting to bring indoors.

Introduced from Thailand, this hardy waterlily has quickly become a customer favorite for its long blooming season, large flower count, and improved performance compared to older white varieties. When planted in full sun, in a wide 15-inch or larger container, White Mallika produces dozens of blooms throughout the growing season.

White Mallika Hardy Waterlily Proper Planting and Care

• Planting Depth: 6–20 inches from the soil surface to the water’s surface.

• Container Size: Best in 15-inch or larger aquatic fabric containers. Wider pots mean more flowers.

• Soil: Use heavy loam topsoil from your yard. Avoid bagged mixes with compost, which float and rot.

• Sunlight Needs: At least 6 hours of direct, unobstructed sunlight daily.

This hardy waterlily thrives when given room to spread, nutrient-rich loam soil, and consistent fertilization.

White Mallika Hardy Waterlily Fertilizing Schedule

• Fertilize on the 1st and 15th of each month during the growing season (spring through early fall).

• Use 4–6 Waterlily World Fertilizer Tablets per feeding, pressing them 3–4 inches into the soil near the rhizome.

• Consistent feeding ensures continuous blooming and vigorous growth.

Do’s and Don’ts for White Mallika Hardy Waterlily

✅ Do:

• Plant in full sun for maximum flower production.

• Use a large, wide container with heavy loam soil.

• Fertilize regularly during the growing season.

• Divide rhizomes every 1–2 years to prevent overcrowding.

❌ Don’t:

• Do not use stones, pea gravel, or bagged compost soils — these suffocate or rot the crown.

• Do not let the plant dry out on arrival; waterlilies lose moisture quickly. Plant immediately.

• Do not plant too close to other lilies or allow floating plants to shade them — White Mallika needs sun exposure across its pads for strong growth.
