Cultivating Your Comanche in Indian Climates:

The Comanche thrives in the warmth of Indian summers. To ensure optimal growth and abundant blooms, consider these key elements:

• Sunlight: A minimum of six hours of direct sunlight per day is crucial. Choose a location in your pond where the Comanche receives ample sunshine, ideally during the warmest parts of the day. Southern or western exposures are often ideal. 

• Soil: Use any top soil without cocopeat mix. Clayey soil is most suitable. Detailed planting & care guidelines are included with the plant. Please refer to the knowledge base & FAQ’s for more details.

• Water Depth: Plant the rhizome at a depth of 12 to 18 inches (30-45 cm) in nutrient-rich pond soil. Shallower planting may lead to excessive heat and damage, while planting too deep might deprive the plant of sufficient light. The water temperature should remain between 70-85°F (21-29°C) for best results.

• Water Quality: Clean, clear water is paramount for the Comanche's well-being. Regularly monitor your pond's water quality, ensuring good oxygen levels and minimal algal growth. Consider adding water lily specific fertilizer tablets to ensure the plant gets the necessary nutrients to flourish.

• Pot/Container: Choose a pot or container with a minimum 30-inch diameter and 15-18 inch height. Fiber, plastic, or concrete are suitable as they retain heat. This is a 100% outdoor plant.

• Protection from Frost: As with most water lilies, the Comanche is not frost-tolerant. During colder months, you might need to take protective measures such as covering the pond or moving the rhizome to a frost-free location for the winter.
