Pin Waree Hardy Water Lily Proper Planting and Care
-
Planting Depth: 6–18 inches from the top of the pot to the water’s surface for best blooming results
-
Container Size: Use a wide 10–20 inch container if not planting in an earth-bottom pond. Fabric containers are best for strong root growth.
-
Soil: Plant only in heavy loam topsoil. Avoid bagged soil or compost mixes, which float and decay in water.
-
Sunlight Needs: Full, direct sunlight (at least 6+ hours daily) is essential for continuous blooming.
Pin Waree Hardy Water Lily Fertilizing Schedule
-
Fertilize on the 1st and 15th of each month during the growing season.
-
Use Waterlily World Fertilizer Tablets, pressing 3–4 tablets into the soil near the rhizome.
-
Consistent fertilization ensures abundant flowers and vigorous growth throughout summer.
