White Water Lily Seeds .
HOW TO GROW WATER LILIES :
Step 1
Use a container that is at least 6 inches deep, fill approximately 3 inches with garden soil or special water plant soil and compress it down. Slowly add 2 inches of warm water ontop of the soil and let any disturbed soil settle (you can pat it down again if necessary).Step 2
Sprinkle seeds through the warm water onto the top of the soil as evenly as possible. Once they have settled sprinkle a thin layer of white sand over the top of the seeds (again through the water)- this helps anchor the seeds and also helps to see the sprouts as germination begins. Warmer water temperatures are preferred for germination to occur so the container needs to be placed in a warm greenhouse or sunny windowsill for germination to occur. If in cold season a heat mat may be needed and kept around 20°C/70°F.Step 3
Watch for thready leaves to begin emerging between 6-8 weeks. Move the seedlings as they grow to larger pots that are more deeply submerged. Plant one water lily per container and cover to the top of its root ball with soil - compress the soil gently and cover with warm water.Step 4
Lilies can be put in their final location in a pond, pool or other water garden spot once they have at least three leaves that are a decent size, it is best to do this after Winter has passed. Repeat the re-potting as above and then submerge your lilies into it's final location. Its likely to be the second full season that you will see the lily bloom but it can happen in the first. Final position should be full sun. Water Lilies take roughly 12-18 months to flower.
