Why Customers Love the Siam Jasmine Water Lily

• Pristine white flowers that look refined in any setting

• Light, sweet fragrance noticeable at pond-side

• Steady bloomer in full sun with simple tablet feeding

• Manageable spread—ideal for small/medium ponds and wide containers

Plant Requirements (quick reference)

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

• Container: 12–15"+ wide, shallow aquatic container (fabric pots preferred)

• Depth (soil surface → water surface): 6–18" (shallower = more flowers)

• Spread: ~2.5–4 ft at maturity

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

Care & Fertilizing (simple schedule)

• Fertilizer tablets: 3–4 tablets on the 1st & 15th each month (May–September)

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

• Maintenance: Trim spent blooms/yellow leaves; divide every 1–2 years to maintain peak flowering

Water Lily Planting Tips

• Plant shallower (6–12") to warm the crown and jump-start buds

• Keep surface water open and unshaded—pads are your “solar panels” for flowers

• Never cover the crown with stones or gravel; leave it slightly exposed

• Use wide, shallow containers to encourage rhizome run and more blooms

• Place away from splashing/aeration; still water shows white blooms best

Do’s & Don’ts

Do

• Plant in full sun and heavy loam

• Fertilize twice monthly on schedule for continuous blooms

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

Don’t

• ❌ Don’t use compost/peat mixes, “aquatic media,” or gravel (they float, rot, or smother crowns)

• ❌ Don’t let floating plants shade Siam Jasmine—light drives flowering

• ❌ Don’t plant too deep (>18") if you want frequent blooms
