Water Lily Planting Tips

💡 Plant Fuchsia Pom Pom in full sun — six hours or more of direct sunlight is ideal.
💡 Use a large, wide container (15 inches or more) to allow rhizomes to expand and produce frequent blooms.
💡 Avoid planting in cold water early in spring; wait until water temperatures are consistently above 60°F (16°C).
💡 Trim spent blooms and yellowing leaves regularly to encourage new growth and fresh flowers.
💡 Fertilize consistently — this lily’s high petal count requires regular feeding for continued performance.

Do’s & Don’ts

Do

• Plant in a large container or earth-bottom pond with full sunlight exposure.

• Use heavy loam soil to anchor roots and support nutrient absorption.

• Fertilize regularly for nonstop blooming.

• Divide rhizomes every 1–2 years in spring to prevent crowding.

• Keep pads exposed to direct sunlight for optimal flower production.

Don’t

• ❌ Don’t use bagged potting soil, compost, or gravel — they harm root development.

• ❌ Don’t plant too deep (>18 inches), as it reduces flowering frequency.

• ❌ Don’t cover the crown with stones or excess soil.

• ❌ Don’t let the rhizome dry out during planting or shipping — plant immediately upon arrival.

• ❌ Don’t overcrowd with floating plants; Pom Pom lilies need open surface area.
