Cultivating Your Tropic Sunset in India:

Sunlight: At least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily are crucial for abundant blooming. Choose a location in your pond that receives maximum sun exposure, particularly during the peak sunlight hours.

Soil: Use a rich, aquatic planting mix, specifically formulated for water lilies. Avoid using regular garden soil.

Detailed planting & care guidelines are included with the plant. Please refer to the knowledge base & FAQ’s for more details.

Water Temperature: Maintain a water temperature between 70-85°F (21-29°C). During the hotter Indian months, you may need to implement measures to prevent the water from becoming excessively warm.

Water Depth: Plant at a depth of 12-18 inches (30-46 cm) in a container filled with aquatic soil or a specialized water lily planting mix. Ensure the container is weighted to prevent floating.

Water Quality: Clean, nutrient-rich water is essential. Regularly monitor and maintain water quality to prevent algae blooms, which can impede plant growth.

Feeding: While the 'Tropic Sunset' is relatively low-maintenance, occasional feeding with a balanced water lily fertilizer will encourage abundant flowering. Follow the fertilizer's instructions carefully to avoid over-fertilizing.

Special Considerations:

The 'Tropic Sunset' is relatively pest-resistant. However, be vigilant against aphids and other common water garden pests. Prompt removal of any affected leaves or flowers will prevent infestations from spreading. In the colder months, the plant's growth will slow down or cease altogether. Some gardeners in colder regions of India might choose to overwinter the plant indoors or in a heated greenhouse.
