While the exact breeding history of Nymphaea 'The Precious Jewel' may be elusive to pin down precisely, its beauty is undeniable. Water lilies, in general, belong to the Nymphaea genus, a group with a rich history dating back to ancient civilizations. These elegant flowers have graced ponds and waterways for millennia, symbolizing purity, peace, and rebirth in various cultures.

Cultivating 'Purple Sensation' in the Indian Climate:

The Indian climate, with its diverse regional variations, offers ideal conditions for many Nymphaea cultivars, and the 'Purple Sensation' 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 rhizome (rootstock) in a pond or container with nutrient-rich aquatic soil. Water temperature should ideally be between 70-80°F (21-27°C).

• Water Quality: Maintain clean, relatively still water. Avoid stagnant water conditions, which can lead to root rot. Regularly check water quality, especially during the monsoon season, and use appropriate water treatments if needed.

• Fertilization: Like any flowering plant, the 'Purple Sensation' 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 ‘Purple Sensation’ might enter dormancy. Reduce watering and protect the rhizome from frost to ensure its survival until spring.
