These elegant flowers have graced ponds and waterways for millennia, symbolizing purity, peace, and rebirth in various cultures.

Cultivating 'Supmanee' in the Indian Climate:

The Indian climate, with its diverse regional variations, offers ideal conditions for many Nymphaea cultivars, and the 'Supmanee' is no exception. Here’s how to ensure it thrives:

• Sunlight: This water lily requires at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. In hotter regions of India, providing some afternoon shade during peak sun hours may be beneficial to prevent scorching.

• Water Depth: Plant the tuber in a container at a depth of 12-18 inches of water. Ensure the water remains relatively still, avoiding strong currents.

•  

  Water Temperature: The Supmanee flourishes in water temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C), common in many Indian regions during warmer months.

• Water Quality: 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.

• Feeding: Like any flowering plant, the 'Supmanee' benefits from regular fertilization. Use a balanced, slow-release aquatic plant fertilizer specifically designed for water lilies, following the package instructions carefully. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can negatively impact water quality.

Special Care Considerations:

• 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.

• Snails and Pests: Keep an eye out for snails and other pests that might feed on the leaves or flowers. Manual removal is usually sufficient, but you may consider using appropriate organic pest control methods if infestations become severe.

• Winter Dormancy (In cooler regions): In regions with cooler winters, the ‘Supmanee’ might enter dormancy. Reduce watering and protect the tuber from frost to ensure its survival until spring.
