Water Lily: How to Plant, Grow, and Care for Water Lilies

Water lilies, enchanting aquatic plants in various colors, thrive in North America’s ponds and streams, offering shelter and beauty. Learn how to plant, grow, and care for them.

Water Lily Plant Care

Light

Water lilies need at least six hours of full sunlight daily to thrive, showcasing their vibrant petals and fragrant flowers, attracting bees with their pollen-rich stamens.

Soil

Water lilies thrive in nutrient-rich clay or loamy soil, often found near streams and ponds. Add peat moss and acclimate the pot at a 45-degree angle for best growth.

Water

Water lilies thrive in slow streams, ditches, and ponds, needing a consistent water level. Ideal depth is 18-24 inches, ensuring they absorb water and nutrients effectively.

Temperature and Humidity

Water lilies thrive in a wide temperature range, with hardy types tolerating 50°F to 86°F and tropical varieties preferring 70°F to 85°F water temperatures
