FAQs

What is included in the Water Lily Trio planting kit?

The kit includes bare-root rhizomes for yellow, white, and red water lilies, aquatic planting baskets, compost, and gravel. Decorative pots and aquatic plant food are not included.

How much sunlight do water lilies need?

Water lilies require full sun, which means they need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to thrive and bloom effectively.

Can I use this kit for a small pond?

Yes, the varieties included are hardy and compact, making them perfect for smaller ponds or even water barrels.

How often should I feed my water lilies?

Feeding frequency depends on the specific aquatic plant food used. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the aquatic plant food you purchase separately.

Will the water lilies survive winter outdoors?

These are hardy varieties suitable for outdoor ponds year-round. They are designed to withstand typical outdoor temperatures.

How do I plant the bare-root rhizomes?

Plant the rhizomes in the provided aquatic baskets with the supplied compost, then top with gravel. Submerge the basket in your still pond or water barrel.

Do I need a special decorative pot?

No, decorative pots are not supplied with this kit. You will submerge the planted aquatic basket directly into your pond or water barrel.

Troubleshooting

Water lilies are not blooming.

Ensure the plants receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Check if aquatic plant food has been applied according to manufacturer instructions.

Leaves appear yellow or unhealthy.

This could indicate insufficient sunlight or a lack of nutrients. Review sunlight exposure and consider appropriate aquatic plant food. Remove any dead or dying leaves.

Excessive algae growth in the pond.

Water lilies help shade the water, reducing algae. Ensure the lily pads have spread sufficiently. If algae persists, consider other pond maintenance practices.

Plants are not staying submerged.

Ensure the planting basket is stable on the pond floor or base. If the water level fluctuates significantly, you may need to adjust the placement or anchoring of the basket.
