Bring Home the Majesty: The Pink King of Siam Water Lily

Behold the breathtaking Pink King of Siam, a water lily of unparalleled beauty and regal charm. This stunning cultivar, a result of meticulous horticultural breeding, boasts vibrant, intensely pigmented pink petals that radiate outwards from a captivating, densely packed central disc. Unlike some water lilies with a more subdued color, the Pink King's hue is truly striking, adding a touch of exotic elegance to any water garden.

While its exact lineage isn't definitively documented, the name hints at its likely origins in Southeast Asia, a region renowned for its diverse and captivating water lilies. The Pink King of Siam likely descends from Nymphaea species native to the region, inheriting their strength and adaptability.

Cultivating Your Pink King in India:

India's diverse climate presents both opportunities and challenges for growing the Pink King of Siam. To ensure its thriving beauty:

• Sunlight: This water lily demands ample sunlight – at least 6-8 hours daily. A sunny location is crucial for abundant blooming. Indian summers offer plenty of sun; however, ensure protection from harsh midday sun during the peak heat with partial shade.
• Water Depth: Plant your Pink King rhizome in a container approximately 12-18 inches deep, ensuring the leaves float comfortably on the water's surface.
• Water Quality: Clean, clear water is crucial. Regularly monitor water levels and replenish as needed, particularly during hot weather.
• Temperature: The Pink King of Siam thrives in warm temperatures typical of most Indian regions. However, protect it from extreme cold during winter months, perhaps by moving it to a slightly warmer, sheltered spot if necessary.
• Soil: Use a rich, aquatic planting mix specifically formulated for water lilies. Avoid garden soil as it can cloud the water. Detailed planting & care guidelines are included with the plant. Please refer to the knowledge base & FAQ’s for more details.

Special Care for a Royal Bloom:

• Feeding: Regular fertilization is key to abundant blooming. Use a slow-release aquatic fertilizer or liquid water lily food according to the package instructions. Over-fertilizing can harm the plant, so start with a lower dose and adjust as needed.
• Pest and Disease Control: Keep a watchful eye for pests like aphids and water snails. Use organic pest control methods where possible to protect the water quality and the environment.
• Winter Dormancy: In colder Indian regions, the Pink King of Siam may enter a period of dormancy during winter. Reduce watering and fertilization during this time.

The Pink King of Siam is more than just a plant; it's a statement of elegance and a vibrant addition to your garden. Order yours today and witness the royal beauty unfold in your own backyard oasis.
