Cultivating your 'Daniel Water Lily' in India:

India's diverse climate presents a unique opportunity to cultivate this aquatic gem. To ensure your 'Daniel Water Lily' thrives, consider these ideal conditions:

• Sunlight: At least six hours of direct sunlight per day are essential for vigorous growth and abundant blooms. Select a location in your pond or container where the plant receives ample sunshine.
• Water Temperature: The 'Daniel Water Lily' prefers warm water, ideally between 20-30°C (68-86°F). During colder months in certain regions of India, you may need to take measures to maintain water temperature.
• Water Depth: Plant at a depth of 1-2 feet (30-60 cm) of water. This depends on the size of your water lily and the depth of your pond, ensuring the leaves can comfortably reach the surface for optimal sunlight absorption.
• Water Quality: Clean, still or slow-moving water is ideal. Regularly monitor and maintain water quality to prevent algae buildup which can hinder growth.
• Soil: Use rich, fertile aquatic soil or a specialized water lily planting mix. Detailed planting & care guidelines are included with the plant. Please refer to the knowledge base & FAQ’s for more details.
• Feeding: A slow-release aquatic fertilizer can be beneficial during the growing season (usually spring and summer) to support lush growth and blooms. Over-fertilization should be avoided.

Special Treatment and Maintenance:

• Pest and Disease Control: Inspect your water lily regularly for signs of pests or diseases. Treat promptly with appropriate organic methods, as needed.
• Winter Care (for cooler regions): In regions experiencing cooler winters, consider moving your pot indoors or providing protection from frost.
• Pruning: Trim any decaying or yellowing leaves to promote healthy growth. Removing spent flowers encourages continuous blooming throughout the growing season.
