🌱 How to plant a water lily?
- Make a mixture of substrate and potting soil.
- Place the burlap in the basket and place a little soil at the bottom.
- Fill the basket to the top with the soil-soil mixture.
- Leave a little room for the gravel on the surface.
- Install the water lily rhyzome on the surface. The rosette should not be buried.
- Cut the burlap 10 cm from the basket and fold the edges over the earth.
- Place gravel on the surface to retain the soil. This gesture is all the more important if you have koi carp which could devour the rhizome and leaves of the plant before it can even develop.
- Immerse the water lily. Allow 60 to 80 cm depth so that the water lily never freezes and 30 to 40 cm if it is a dwarf variety.
