Thriving in Indian Climes: This stunning pink water lily is perfectly suited for the Indian climate, thriving in warm, sunny conditions. Ensure your 'Pink Delight' receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. The ideal water temperature should be between 70-85°F (21-29°C).

Special Care for Unparalleled Bloom: To coax out the most vibrant blooms from your Nymphaea 'Pink Delight', consider these important aspects:

• Planting: Plant the rhizome in a container specifically designed for aquatic plants, with a nutrient-rich soil mix suitable for water lilies. The depth should allow the top of the rhizome to remain just below the water's surface.
• Water Quality: Maintain clean, clear water. Regularly remove any decaying leaves or debris. Consider using a water filter if you notice excessive algae growth.
• Fertilization: Periodically use a slow-release aquatic plant fertilizer to provide the necessary nutrients for vigorous growth and abundant blooming. Over-fertilizing can cause algae blooms so follow package instructions carefully.
• Pest & Disease Control: Watch out for common water lily pests like aphids or snails. Deal with infestations promptly with organic pest control methods. Ensure good water circulation to prevent fungal diseases.

With proper care, your Nymphaea 'Pink Delight' will reward you with a profusion of exquisitely delicate, light pink flowers, each featuring a vibrant golden yellow center.
