Thriving in Indian Climates:

India's diverse climate presents both challenges and opportunities for water lily cultivation. The 'Jealous 2' thrives in the warm, humid conditions prevalent across much of the country. To ensure optimal growth, consider the following:

• Sunlight: Six to eight hours of direct sunlight are crucial. Choose a suitable location.

• Water Depth: Plant the rhizome in a container approximately 12-18 inches below the water's surface. Adjust the depth depending on the size of the lily pad to ensure a balance between light penetration and root growth.

• Water Quality: Clean, still water is essential. Regularly remove debris and decaying plant matter. Avoid stagnant water which can impede root health. Consider using water with a slightly alkaline pH (around 6.5-7.5). Clean, clear water is crucial. Regularly monitor water levels and replenish as needed, particularly during hot weather.

• Soil: Use a rich aquatic potting mix; avoid using garden soil. Detailed planting & care guidelines are included with the plant. Please refer to the knowledge base & FAQ’s for more details.

Special Care for Exceptional Beauty:

While relatively low-maintenance, the 'Purple Beauty' benefits from occasional attention:

• Feeding: During the growing season (spring to autumn), regular feeding with a water lily fertilizer will promote vigorous growth and abundant flowering. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

• Container: Use pots or containers with a minimum 30 to 36 inches in diameter and 18 inches in depth. Fiber, plastic, or concrete containers are suitable, as they retain heat.

• Pest and Disease Control: Keep an eye out for common water lily pests and diseases. Early detection and treatment are key to maintaining the plant's health.

• Winter Protection: In colder Indian regions, some winter protection may be necessary for container-grown plants. Move containers to a sheltered location or insulate the pond.
